Since the 80s, Stussy have always had some of the most memorable and iconic advertising in skate and surf culture, as well as synonymous with the birth of streetwear and urban fashion. Owner and visionary Shawn Stüssy established the brand's aesthetic from the start with it photo collage punk rock feel but even when the company grew considerably they never went to agencies or consultants, preferring to keep things in-house with each creative director at the time leading the vision and hand-picking the photographers and artists to collaborate with personally. And this is one of the main reasons Stussy has always retained the feel of heritage and legitimacy.
