ARI MARCOPOULOS RETURNS TO STÜSSY WITH LANDON AND CYD

Stüssy Holiday '26 Delivery Two went on sale on Friday, November 6, 2026 with a lookbook credited to photographer Bailey Beckstead. Six days later the delivery has a second set of pictures, portraits of Landon and Cyd by Ari Marcopoulos, and Stüssy's line with them is short: "The second delivery of our Holiday '26 collection is available worldwide."

Marcopoulos is the photographer Stüssy brings in when the subject is its own people. In 2019 he shot the staff of the New York Chapter store in the Summer collection. In 2026 he gets two first names that already sit in the brand's cast lists.

November 3 Listed No Photographer

When Delivery Two was dated on November 3, the release schedule named no pieces, no photographer and no price. It gave a clock: 10am local time on November 6, Japan and Korea first, North America 17 hours later, 14 days after the season opened.

That opening was the fourth Friday in October, October 23, six days later than Holiday '25. Fall '26 waited 28 days between its opening and its second delivery, so Holiday is running at twice the pace.

The gap in the record has since been filled twice. Stüssy's own page for the delivery now carries credits, and the Marcopoulos portraits arrived on November 12 with the product already in select Chapter stores and on stussy.com across North America, the UK, Europe, Japan and Korea.

Bailey Beckstead Shot the Lookbook, Landon Ebeling Styled It

Stüssy credits the Holiday '26 Delivery Two lookbook to photographer Bailey Beckstead and stylist Landon Ebeling, with a cast of Noah, Luisa, Cyd and Hank. Beckstead and Ebeling are also the credited pair on the October 23 opening.

That is a change behind the camera. Antosh Cimoszko and Ebeling built Fall '26 Delivery Two in September, a pairing credited on five earlier Stüssy releases going back to Spring '25. Holiday keeps the stylist and swaps the photographer.

On the clothes, the brand still publishes no piece list. Retail tracker Shopenauer describes the lookbook images as showing a striped mohair cardigan and an olive puffer worn under a shearling vest. Mohair in a stripe and shearling over down are both texture stories, and they are the kind a portrait photographer can read at close range.

Stüssy uses first names only. A Landon appears beside Cyd in the Summer '26 cast list, and Landon Ebeling is the stylist credited on that lookbook and on both Holiday deliveries. The brand has not said whether the Landon in the Marcopoulos portraits is its stylist.

Chapter Store Staff Wore Summer '19 for Him

Marcopoulos photographed the staff of Stüssy's New York Chapter store wearing the Summer '19 collection on the streets of the city, for an editorial in the Japanese magazine GRIND. Matt Holmes styled it, and Hypebeast ran the pictures in June 2019.

No model casting was involved then either. The people who sold the clothes on the shop floor wore them for the camera. A Stüssy and Carhartt editorial in his agency portfolio at DS Reps works the same way, black and white portraits in an empty apartment.

His own route explains the fit. Marcopoulos is a self taught photographer and film artist who came to New York from Amsterdam at the end of the 1970s and worked inside the downtown scene that included Jean Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Robert Mapplethorpe. Stüssy's New York history runs through that part of town: Stüssy's family tree has James Jebbia partnering with Shawn Stussy from 1991 to 1994 before founding Supreme.

240 Pages on T Shirts Carry His Essay

Marcopoulos also wrote for Stüssy. The brand's book about its T shirts with the publisher IDEA runs 240 pages, and he contributed an essay, interviews and editorial pictures to it.

His name sits in that book beside Alasdair McLellan, Amy Troost, Collier Schorr and Terry Richardson, with an archive section covering 38 years of images. Dover Street Market paired the launch with a retrospective and reissued tees, the Charlie Don't Surf graphic among them.

A photographer who has written the essay, interviewed the people and shot the shop staff is closer to a house historian than a hired lens. It also suits a company that keeps its circle small. Stüssy's narrow distribution dates to its pullback from mall retailers in the middle of the 2010s, and the Chapter stores do the selling.

Cyd Appears in Both Sets of Pictures

Cyd is in the Beckstead lookbook cast and in the Marcopoulos portraits, six days apart. Two photographers and one stylist credit now sit on a single delivery.

The timing says what the portraits are for. The dated release came on November 3 and the sale on November 6. A day later, 12 styles with CDG went into Shibuya Parco behind a storefront lottery. Counting Stüssy Tears on October 16, that is four dated releases in 22 days.

By November 12 there was no date left to give. The Marcopoulos pictures carry no new product and no new store, only the statement that the delivery is available worldwide.

The read for a buyer is plain. The Beckstead lookbook shows the cardigan and the vest. The Marcopoulos portraits show who wears them when the campaign is over, and Stüssy ran them after the clothes were already hanging in Chapter stores. Cyd is the one name on both credit lines.
