Shawn Stussy

Shawn Stussy is a fashion designer who founded the Stüssy brand in the early 1980s, pioneering the streetwear movement with a hand-drawn signature logo inspired by his surfboard graffiti. Rooted in California’s surf culture, Stussy blended skate, surf, and hip-hop aesthetics to create a relaxed yet edgy style that influenced generations of streetwear designers around the world. While Stussy stepped away from his namesake brand in 1996, he still produces clothing for his brand S Double and released a special collaboration with Kim Jones's Dior in 2019.
