Overview

STA. is a streetwear brand founded in Xi’an, China, in the summer of 2007 by three people: BK (Da Wang), Nasa, and Naga. Its former name was LuckySTA, and its name embodies the spirit of maritime training. Although there is no sea inland, the brand embraces an attitude of setting out on long voyages like sailors. Based on American street culture, it spans music, apparel, art, street sports, and lifestyle. It also has strong ties to hip-hop culture and operates a group of brands, with STA as its flagship, including OD, BK, ROCKSTA, and LILWET.

ROCKSTA is an independent brand in STAGROUP’s brand collective, centered on STA, with a stated focus on rock. The official app distinguishes it from STA, OD, and BK as the brand responsible for “rock style.” Fashion media have described it as a new brand under STA whose launch was supported by BK, with a designer who had worked at STA for many years at its helm. While STA itself covers a broad range of American street fashion, ROCKSTA specializes in styles associated with rock. Within the brand family, it is positioned as a genre-specific line.
