The creative director of Timberland and Raeburn Studios has been tasked with reviving Left Hand and ST95, brands developed by Stone Island-founder Massimo Osti in the ’90s.

Both brands will relaunch in February 2021 and have been acquired by Left Hand Studios Ltd.

Stone Island was acquired by rival Moncler earlier this week in a deal valuing the Italian sportswear brand at €1.15 billion ($1.4 billion), setting Moncler up to become a multi-brand group.
