History
Stüssy was founded in the early 1980s in Southern California by Shawn Stussy, originally as a surfwear label built around hand-drawn logos.
It quickly evolved into one of the first true streetwear brands, blending surf, skate, punk, hip-hop, and club culture into a global style movement.
By the 1990s, Stüssy had become a cultural connector—linking underground scenes across cities like LA, New York, London, and Tokyo.
