Sampling Style: A Study of Culture
This collection is an exploration of hip-hop’s revolutionary impact on style, tracing its evolution from the pioneering days of the late 1970s through its cultural climax in the 1990s. Hip-hop didn’t just influence fashion: It democratized it, transforming streetwear into a legitimate form of self expression and challenging the norm of traditional fashion. Drawing from the bold, oversized silhouettes and glitz of the late '70s and '80s and threading them into a contemporary context.
