It’s time for the Great White North to show what they’ve got for the winter season with the Stussy Canada Holiday 2011 Collection.
Like Stussy Hawaii, the west coast fashion brand also has a branch in Canada that releases clothing inspired by its location. The Stussy Canada Holiday 2011 Collection will bring a variety of tees, hoodies, sweats and a limited number of hand-knit cowichans made by Canadian Sweater Company. The graphics include skulls and Canadian motifs such as Native American and Lumberjack-inspired imagery. Surprisingly, there are very few pieces with a red and white color theme, but the heritage-inspiration should suffice as a representation of what the Great White North is truly about.
The Stussy Canada Holiday 2011 Collection is available exclusively through Stussy Vancouver and Stussy Toronto.
