Hip-Hop's 50-Year Fashion Revolution

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Oct 11, 2023

Fifty years after its inception, hip-hop has become an indelible force not just within the music industry, but across the world of arts and culture. The new book, Fashion Killa: How Hip-Hop Revolutionized High Fashion, traces how hip-hop luminaries such as Sean “Diddy” Combs and Virgil Abloh gained entrance into the exclusionary fashion world, and how fashion houses like Louis Vuitton and Fendi responded to a new market.
