Wales Bonner and Stüssy come together for a new collaboration that blends refined tailoring with the laid-back energy of surf culture. Shot by Zoe Ghertner in Los Angeles, the collection frames surfing not just as a lifestyle but as a global dialogue, drawing references from coastlines in Labadi, Bull Bay, Tokyo, and Santa Ana. These connections converge on a refreshed Stüssy World Tour graphic, symbolizing unity across diverse waters.
The capsule offers a thoughtful balance of ease and elegance. A navy Loro Piana wool double-breasted blazer anchors the collection with sharp sophistication, contrasted by a leather varsity jacket and a silk polo featuring a print by Accra-based photographer Nana Yaw Oduro. Traditional surf staples are reimagined: a neoprene hoodie, embroidered board shorts, and a collaborative sarong designed for the shoreline. More playful elements include fringed shorts and a bold leopard-print jumper, highlighting the fusion of streetwear attitude and elevated craftsmanship.
A guiding verse—“Together across the water / Blessings arrive with the tide”—captures the spirit of the collaboration, suggesting cultural exchange as a flowing tide rather than a fixed boundary.
Summary: A global surf-inspired collection merging Stüssy’s coastal roots with Wales Bonner’s tailored vision, celebrating cross-cultural creativity.
