Originally started in the 1980's by Shawn Stussy, Stussy is one of the few streetwear brands that has stood the test of time. Tough to categorize from the start, and arguably in a league of their own.Stussy is quoted in a 1992 interview as saying: "Everybody calls it surf wear, or urban street wear, or surf street... I don't name it, and I don't name it on purpose."
