STUSSY AND WALES BONNER LAUNCH A CAPSULE COLLECTION

editor HANNAH ATTIRA

Stussy and Wales Bonner unveil a new collaboration that embodies an effortless blend of a laid-back surf town style and soft yet structured tailoring. Inspired by beachside travels from Labadi and Bull Bay to Tokyo and Santa Ana, the capsule collection reimagines the idea of a coastal wardrobe.

Captured on the beaches of Los Angeles through the lens of Zoe Ghertner, the collection channels a series of inspirations, from classic surf attire to Wales Bonner's signature codes. Merging worlds through fabrication and storytelling, a double-zipped neoprene hoodie appears to hold its form and shape as unequivocally as a bark brown leather varsity blouson. Creating a fresh spin, beach sarong(s), designed in collaboration with Peter Miles, are styled under a double-breasted blazer crafted from navy Loro Piana doeskin wool and paired with a leopard print sweater. Further establishing a new outlook on seaside style.

Stussy's iconic Stussy World Tour graphics find their place in the collection, printed on co-branded tee shirts and cotton poplin oxfords. While touches of Wales Bonner’s recent design evolutions find their way on silk polo(s), printed with an image from Accra-based photographer Nana Yaw Oduro.

The Stussy and Wales Bonner Capsule Collection is available worldwide at select chapter stores, stussy.com, and walesbonner.com on Friday, September 26th.
