Hip-Hop's 50-Year Fashion Revolution

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Oct 11, 2023

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.
