Starring actor Ethan Juan.
Stone Island is celebrating the Year of the Horse 2026 with a dedicated capsule collection inspired by the animal’s symbolism, starring actor Ethan Juan. Representing strength, speed and momentum, the Horse is seen as a marker of transition, signalling a decisive shift from the past towards a new beginning.
This sense of movement and progression sits at the heart of the capsule, translated through Stone Island’s established design language. The collection is presented in gold and dark brown, colours traditionally associated with good fortune for the year.
Shot in Hu Zhou, the campaign captures the Year of the Horse’s transformative spirit through a series of images by photographer Chiang Ming Shih and a film directed by Lyu Qing. At its heart is actor and equestrian Ethan Juan, a long-standing friend of the brand, who was first featured as part of Stone Island’s ongoing project “Community as a Form of Research”,for season Spring/Summer 2025.
As a limited release rooted in symbolism, forward motion and the brand’s signature material innovation, take a look at the campaign below.
