Stüssy Kicks it Old School

February 02, 2023

Stüssy's noteworthy Pre-Spring '23 collection of outerwear, knits, and workwear left us on edge, eagerly wanting more. For its official Spring '23 campaign, the streetwear label returns to its workwear roots, unveiling a collection that revamps the brand's signature silhouettes.

Classic overshirts, fleece zip-ups, and quilted vests are reinvented in both muted and more notable shades while the collection's pants tell an expansive color story with distinct prints and patterns– from kaleidoscopic orange to camo and leopard. A statement lime green button-up, striped/magenta sweatervests, and outerwear donning the classic 8-ball insignia in an all-over print offer that effortlessly cool vibe Stüssy always gives.

In the early '90s, Californian surfer Shawn Stüssy, and founder of the label, would have never guessed his screen-printed T-shirts – inspired by his custom-designed surfboards – would place him in fashion, at the center of a brand that has inadvertently revolutionized the clothing business, but here he is, leaving an indelible mark. From collaborating with Lucien Smith, friend of office and founder of Serving the People (STP), to a perennial partnership with Nike, the OG streetwear brand continues to redefine the look and feel of casualwear.

The first part of Stüssy Spring '23 drops worldwide today on www.stussy.com at 1:00 pm EST.

Perfection is the recipe for disaster for a lot of us. You will always fail in the pursuit of perfect... but the journey is fun. - Kevin Ponce

Everyone finds zen in their work in a different way. It's a really important part, having something in your work that feels good despite what else is going on. Once you put yourself into that state of flow, a lot comes out. -Martine Ali

A lot of the time we have narratives of people, what we think they are going to be like, or a certain perception of them. For them to blow away all of those things is incredibly cool. That's my main objective and the whole point of writing, to keep the narrative going, to keep cultural criticism going, to keep history going. - Kerane Marcellus
