JUXTAPOZ: A Day with Shawn Stussy
by Eugene Kan, July 27, 2009
Evan Pricco of JUXTAPOZ magazine had the chance to meet up with living legend Shawn Stussy as he visited his studio workspace. As one of the pioneers in the landscape before us and from a time before the labeling of so-called “streetwear”, the studio overview features heaps of archival Stussy products and just general collection items including clothing, surfboards and art. The now iconic Stussy font is seen in copious amounts which has become one of the defining points of the Stussy brand.
When i was young the Stussy artwork on the tees moved the fashion down here in the beantown. Can’t wait for the S.S. P.S. bring back the old Stussy clothing! – to much to say
Wow, how nice are those handwritings
What’s great about Stussy the brand back in the day (re: Laguna Beach) was that it all happened so organically – none of its early success was due to overtly manufactured marketing we see today. Shawn put out great product – people responded. I look forward to seeing Shawn achieve the same with SS. FOR JAH IRIE FEELING! —cheers//dom PS. Hire me!
the man
Without this guy Stussy the brand today is just this dudes old drawings mixed with photoshop and artwork once in a while from a graff legend or top fine artist. Can’t wait to see what new stuff S.S. is going to bring.
This is like some bow in the presence of greatness shit if you really know streetwear.
Freakin’ awesome that his printing IS the Stussy font.
awsome!
