On a hot summer night in August of 1973 DJ Kool Herc and his sister Cindy put on a 'back to school jam' in the recreation room of their apartment block at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the west Bronx. The rest is history. The birth of hip hop rippled out across the globe, influencing music and fashion for generations. Early hip hop style focused on customization from spray- painted jean jackets and sweatshirts to creased jeans and boxed laced sneakers. Before Nike had apparel, Dapper Dan made Nike fashion in addition to one-of-a-kind looks with the logos of MCM, Gucci, and Fendi. The eclectic style eventually evolved into its own apparel brands, from FUBU to Sean John, Roc-A-Wear, Billionaire Boys Club, BAPE, Baby Phat, Cross Colours, and Pelle Pelle. Sections on these individual designers run alongside thematic chapters on stylists, record labels, pink, hairstyles, nameplates, hoops, nails, and sneakers. Each chapter on hip-hop style is illustrated with photographs of performers, entrepreneurs, and iconic pieces. New research from journalists that witnessed the developments firsthand and oral histories from celebrities and designers make Fresh Fly Fabulous the definitive source for hip-hop style.
Elena Romero began her fashion journalistic career as the former associate editor and a contributing editor for fashion bibles DNR and WWD. Through her work at both publications, Ms. Romero extensively chronicled the rise and growth of some of the market s pioneering brands, including Fubu, Phat Farm, Ecko Unlimited, Rocawear and Sean John. Her journalistic work in both trade and consumer publications helped legitimize the urban fashion industry that once was considered a fad. She is currently an Adjunct Assistant Professor at The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
