One of the things available on Stussy’s relaunched website is their Fall 2009 lookbook. While the shots used are very artistically well done, the actual product is hard to see. This doesn’t make a lot of sense since the point of a lookbook is to showcase the product.
Stussy has a solid following of loyal clients. I guess when a brand is as big as theirs, these silly practical issues don’t matter. See the gallery above to view images from Stussy’s Fall 2009 lookbook.
