A few years later, Stüssy was already making millions in sales. B-Boying, Hip-Hop and Graffiti are influences as well as Rasta culture or artists like Keith Haring. Stussy draws inspiration from various subcultures and the urban lifestyle of the 80s. It's not long before Stüssy can also be found in showrooms in various major cities across America. Shortly thereafter, he teams up with his friend Frank Sinatra (no relation to 'the' Frank Sinatra) and starts selling his brand in local stores as well. He just does what he feels like and what goes down well - and with success. He sells the shirts and shorts out of his coﬀer room and never has anything like a business plan.

Within a very short time, Stussy makes a name for himself throughout the region.

After that, T-shirts and swim shorts follow, which also go down very well with the surf & skate community in Laguna Beach. At some point he gets the idea to write his last name on the boards to make a little advertisement for himself and his surf crew. At the time, Stussy was an avid surfer and built his own boards for friends and relatives. The story behind the brand begins in California in 1980. As the founder of the Stüssy brand, there is hardly anyone else who has had such an influence on the development of streetwear. Colour takes centre stage with a mix of browns, khaki, yellow and red encouraging a rich yet vibrant look across cooler season styles made from appropriate fleece, corduroy and brushed cotton.When talking about contemporary streetwear, its origins and current trends, sooner or later one particular name comes up: Shawn Stussy.

For a clean finish that allows for ease of layering throughout the year, the body and short sleeves have straight cut hems.įor their holiday ‘19 collection, streetwear legend Stussy has worked a selection of energetic prints across relaxed everyday styles known for their versatility, which have been refreshed in an unexpected pattern. Covering the majority of the back, this same graphic can be seen in large on the reverse. The curved neckline has a flexible ribbed trim to allow for movement and below on the left side of the chest the Stussy text logo has been printed in white above a circular 8 ball. Featuring a signature Stussy graphic, this black 8 Ball T-Shirt is made from soft lightweight cotton and is adorned with front and back monochrome artwork.
