Stone Island has renewed its official partnership with Frieze Focus, the section of Frieze London dedicated to emerging artists and young galleries. The Italian brand belongs to the Moncler group. This year's edition of Frieze London was held in Londres from 14 to 18 October.
This renewal would mark, according to FashionUnited France, Stone Island's twelfth partnership with a Frieze fair. This year, the Focus section welcomed seven galleries taking part for the first time, among them 243 Luz, Chemould CoLab and Ehrlich Steinberg.
As part of this partnership, Stone Island offers each gallery participating in Frieze Focus a grant to support its participation in the fair. The brand also unveiled a T-shirt Frieze which would be, again according to the same source, the ninth in its Focus artist series. This piece, sold at Selfridges, features a work by Arébénor Basséne, represented by the Selebe Yoon gallery.
The partnership coincided with « Selected Works '982–'026 », Stone Island's project at Selfridges' Corner Shop. To celebrate this renewal, the brand held a dinner on 14 October at 40 Duke, at Selfridges, co-hosted by Robert Triefus, chairman and chief executive officer of Stone Island, and Eva Langret, director of Frieze London.
