I don't know how Shawn Stussy does it, but the man is a machine when it comes to pumping out new products. The latest addition to his brand are the Stussy x Fergadelic Summer 2011 Tees.
This time, Stussy hooks up with British artist Fergus Purcell (aka Fergadelic) for three brand new shirts for summer. Instead of the standard "Stussy" typography imprinted on the shirts, the focus is on Purcell's quirky black and white imagery of astronauts and soldiers holding surf boards. So, if you've never imagined these serious folks holding a board and in uniform, then these Stussy x Fergadelic Summer 2011 Tees are going to be a real treat.
The shirts are available in either black or white and is can be purchased at Stussy Chapter Stores and their online shop.
