STUSSY v. FRESH JIVE

[bobbyhundreds]

Just got an email about this lawsuit..

http://www.freshjive.com

seems ridiculous to me, considering much of the t-shirt graphic game (which both of these labels helped build) is founded on the art of parody. !!!...especially STUSSY!

[shawn Stussy making fun of Stussy's own lawsuit]

(anyways, saved me some trouble, considering I was planning on doin the same thing for our winter season. Go get 'em Rick!)

HAHAHA!

No, its not an april fool's joke (at least not on my behalf, anyways).

I hope they make the shirt. I just emailed Rick about it - I need one!

they should just do a collabo... make it limited, and both make $$ off of it.

strange highs and strange lows

Speaking of parodying other labels without license...

Has anyone seen the XLarge parody of aNYthing??!

(says "anXLthing")

So bizarre, right?

Saw it at Magic, so not sure if its being released later.

I asked the girl at the XLarge booth, "Yo, did A-ron do this?"

Her: Blank face.

Me: A-ron..do you know who he is?

Her: Uhhh, I dunno...

anyways, I told aron about it a week later and he laughed, couldnt believe it. They never even asked him or told him they were doin it.. oh well, take it as a compliment..?

Freshjive made a parody of Obey. I thought that was pretty funny.

Stussy, Xlarge and Bathing Ape are the kings of rip-off/parodies. I've got a Stucci bag, Stucci t-shirt, Stendi No. 4 t-shirt, Stuie Vuitton sweatshirt, an XL jacket made to look like LV, an XLarge bag made to look like a crooked Burberry print, a Bape t-shirt that looks like an American Express card, and Bape Stas.

Now if Xlarge, Stussy and Bape don't deserve a litte of their own medicine, I don't know who does.

i take it shawn stussy has nothing to do with stussy anymore if he's amused by the suit?

I was a target cause I'm a fashion misfit

and the outfit that I'm wearing brothers dissing it

[MyMindSpray]

all these companies straight bite off each other and other surrounding companies...it's nothing new, seems to me that Stussy's throwing a bit of a tantrum...

i've always been a huge fan of Stussy...but the last couple years have been pretty dissapointing...only recently have they been able to turn their collections around...seems to me that this is one last desperate attempt to retain some credibility...

if Stussy goes through with this lawsuit, i personally am done with their goods...hypocrites...

Stussy was bought out a while ago by his original partner Frank Sinatra (seriously, but obviously a dif dude) for loads of dough & a lot less stress. Frank has recently sold the to a Japanese company for hella loads of dough but continues as the CEO (the Japanese company in question wants to leave it alone & preserve its American style & integrity, just own it) with the stress. They headquarter in Irvine, CA.

I would imagine Shawn & Frank wouldn't file a suit....

wow that's funny

[Brienneoftarth]

anybody know if theyre still for sale?

[frogeyes]

That's an ugly lawsuit, but i looks like Fresh Jive has their shit together with all the links.

[aitsuka]

this is like when zoo york copied the supreme box tee

ZOOPREME

I think that shirt got a lawsuit from supreme and got taken off the shelves.

now its super super limited....

-don't hate, appreciate-

[sr20det]

^ wasn't that a collabo?

I was a target cause I'm a fashion misfit

and the outfit that I'm wearing brothers dissing it

[Blanc0]

Yes, that WAS a collab, but then when Supreme decided not to sell Zoo @ the store, and Zoo went big, I heard Zoo said "Fuck you" to Supreme and made TONS of tees and stickers....

I said it before and I'll say it again, Stussy is the GAP of Streetwear....

[JUPAFETT]

I'M GUNNING FOR KLOTZ ALL THE WAY. HE'S GOT THE AMMO AND THE INTENT. SINATRA MAY HAVE AN ARMY OF LAWYERS BUT I THINK RICK IS GONNA PULL A LARRY FLYNT AND HE'S PUNK ENOUGH TO SEE IT THROUGH.

SHIT IS WACK

Truly amazing.

Talk about a punk ass move on Stussy's part. That's the pot calling the kettle black.

[Brienneoftarth]

there are already fakes popping up ln ebay. at least I think they're fakes cus the seller has zero feedback and theyre in different colors.

[aitsuka]

so are stussy sueing freshjive because the logo's font looks like theirs?

-don't hate, appreciate-

[Brienneoftarth]

are you kidding?

[themdouble]

LOL

Font?

Something like that...
