Stüssy is an American privately held fashion house founded in the early 1980s by Shawn Stussy. It benefited from the surfwear trend originating in Orange County, California, but was later adopted by the skateboard and hip hop scenes.
History
Shawn Stussy (born 1954) was a Californian manufacturer of surfboards.[1] The logo defining the brand started in the early 1980s, when he scrawled his surname on handcrafted boards with a simple broad-tipped marker.[2][3] He then used the logo on T-shirts, shorts and caps that he sold out of his car around Laguna Beach, California.[4][5]
