The Influence of Fashion Designers in Hip-Hop Culture
A love for hip-hop can be expressed in many ways, from TV shows to special concerts and festivals. In Hall 305, there is a museum dedicated to the music genre, emphasizing the fashion side. Wynwood’s Hip Hop Arts has launched a new series called “Old School Versus New School,” showcasing the visual side of hip-hop, including filmmaking, photography, album graphics, graphic design, illustration, and fashion design.
The Impact of Iconic Designers on Hip-Hop Fashion
Legendary fashion designers like Shirt King Phade and Busy Bee celebrity designer Lila Nikole have made significant contributions to hip-hop fashion. Shirt King Phade brought vibrant street art into people’s wardrobes, creating iconic airbrushed shirts that became a staple in the community. On the other hand, Lila Nikole has worked with prominent hip-hop artists like Kendrick Lamar, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and 50 Cent, creating custom pieces that have become part of hip-hop history.
