-MAD
HECTIC-
MadHectic started in 1994
as a store that sold assorted imported American streetwear in Harajuku.
They pioneered bringing American streetwear to Tokyo and were responsible
for introducing brands such as Sarcastic and Subware into Japan.
Over the years, MadHectic kept their store in Harajuku as a streetwear
retailer that sold exclusive independent Japanese and American
labels, and at the same time worked on creating their own MadHectic
brand. MadHectic was started by two individuals: Magara and Yoshifumi
Egawa (aka Yoppi). Yoppi has been supporting Stussy since the early
90s as the unofficial Stussy model in Japan. Currently for Madhectic,
Yoppi
is creative director/co-owner. Magara is the other co-owner, and
has started a sub-label of Madhectic called Masterpiece which also
has a record label and sound system. Masterpiece has done several
collaborations with Stussy over the years. This World Tour graphic
was designed by Akeem, who is the current art director for MadHectic.
Akeem has also contributed other designs to Stussy in the past.
