THE LORD OF SURF

Capturing the volatile mix of rebellion, creativity, and excess that defined Bunker Spreckels—and a generation—the collection considers the enduring allure of a figure whose life seemed perpetually suspended between reality and mythology. We explore his legend with a new campaign by acclaimed photographer Steven Klein, whose charged visual storytelling refracts Bunker’s singular collision of glamour, danger, rebellion, and restless self-invention through a contemporary lens.

THE SPIRIT OF BUNKER SPRECKELS









A singular figure of 1970s surf culture, Bunker Spreckels moved through the world with an appetite for speed, danger, beauty, and reinvention. From Malibu and Hawaii to South Africa and Hollywood, his short, turbulent life careened between privilege and rebellion, athletic brilliance and self-destruction. “Forty years on and people are still trying to distinguish the facts from the fable,” says JMM founder and creative director Jérôme Mage. “What’s unmistakable, though, is the radiant, uncontainable energy he embodied. He was a light that refused to be shaped by convention.”
