FRESH DRESSED
Recommended. A story of black fashion, especially in the 90s, so comprehensive it appeals even to me - not a hip-hop fan. I learnt that gangsta style = streatwear = urban fashion - in order not to be associated with gangsters. And rap started off as a verbal war replacing earlier shootouts. It's poignant that everyone aspires to be rich and white in a way. Black labels have passed away. Long-running white fashion empires are the ghetto's ultimate dream to the point the lads can have no furniture at home but buy or steal expensive clothes. At the same time those high fashion houses have incorporated elements of hip hop into their clothing. A number of stars are presented in videos and photos like Tupac, Kool Moe Dee or Run DMC or in life like Kanye West. With a mid-credit.
It was fun to spot hip hop elements in people's outfits in Warsaw on my way home.
