The collection reinterprets surf culture through a kaleidoscopic aesthetic, drawing inspiration from beaches ranging from Labadi and Bull Bay to Tokyo and Santa Ana. These references are also found in an update to the iconic Stüssy World Tour graphic, printed on co-branded T-shirts and cotton poplin oxfords.
In a global take on the beatnik style, shorts with fringed hems, studded stonewashed denim, and leopard-print sweaters are paired with a double-breasted blazer made from navy Loro Piana doeskin wool.
Wales-Bonner codes are reflected in a bark-brown leather varsity jacket and a silk polo shirt printed with a motif by Accra-based photographer Nana Yaw Oduro.
The classic surf wardrobe is refined with a double-zip neoprene hoodie, logo-embroidered board shorts, and a beach sarong created in collaboration with Peter Miles.
Together across the water
, blessings arrive with the tide.
The Stüssy x Wales Bonner Capsule Collection launches on September 26 and will be available worldwide at select Chapter stores.
