At Otto Resource, we strive to uncover the design advancements others may have otherwise overlooked. Products like Stüssy’s Stonewash Leather Work Jacket from its Spring/Summer 2024 collection are perfectly indicative of this mindset and highlight the value of cross-pollinating production techniques. The study of subcultural ephemera is important because it not only helps us discover the figures, movements, and styles that lie adjacent to the world of “fashion”, but allows us to build more intriguing connections whenever writing our conclusions. The artwork we have chosen to reference here is called “Mettroppostterrsizzer” and was executed by visual artist Rammellzee in 1987. Widely regarded for his instrumental role in introducing elements of the avant-garde to hip-hop culture, Rammellzee’s impact was also critical to contemporary fashion, with brands such as Supreme continuously referencing his work on its clothing and in its stores.
