The new 'O'Dyed Classics' collection from streetwear giant Stussy makes use of pigment-dyed designs.
This gives the apparel a retro aesthetic, which is further enhanced by the lettering that often complements it. On the back of one shirt, the brand makes use of large bubbled letters that are similar in appearance to those used for Austin Powers' promotional efforts.
In addition to these graphics, some of the apparel comes with the image of a large green dragon emblazoned on the back. The vast majority of the pigment-dyed apparel is colored a bright hue of pastel pink, however the graphics, as well as the splashes of white that complement many of them, bring more variance.
