Stussy has just unveiled the lookbook of their new Spring / Summer 2014 collection which was entirely Shot in Jamaica by photographer Francesco Giusti Italian.
“Through friendship with the family of Peter Tosh, Francesco was able to gain access to Jamaica that most outsiders are not permitted. Living on the island for more than two months, he worked daily with a local Rastafarian to meet local personalities and capture their portraits.
The connection to the vibrant music and Rastafari culture of Jamaica has always been at the core of the Stüssy brand. These portraits capture an honest look of the people who began those themes and live them to this day.”

The Summer of Gods is a short film about a troubled girl named Lili who unites with her Afro-Brazilian religious ancestry on a summer visit with family to their ancestral village in rural Brazil. Soon after her arrival, she encounters Orishas (African gods) who join with her grandmother to help her find peace with a gift that has previously vexed her. The film is set in the Northeast of Brazil where Afro-Brazilian religious traditions remain strong. Lili’s Grandma is a well revered local priestess who honors the Orishas. Lili is blessed by the goddesses as well. To preserve tradition, they lead her on a mystical adventure through a nearby forest which symbolizes her initiation into the tradition.
