Hip Hop Fashion Is Black People's Street Fashion

Hip Hop Fashion: Hip hop comes from the streets anyway. So of course hip hop fashion comes from the imagination of the streets. Hip hop fashion is an expressive fashion that allows the youth (particularly inner city youth) to express themselves in ways that allow them to feel free. Because Hip Hop art form is an expressive art that is rebellious in nature, the fashion trends that it provokes are just as rebellious in nature. When you see a kid sagging his jeans past his waistline, he is not trying to be polite. He is actually putting his middle finger up at the world. It’s that child’s release about all of the things that are wrong within his society or culture. You can say that he is “keeping it real,” and not pulling back any punches. No wonder Hip Hop quickly grew from an inner city music and culture to a music that children all around the globe would embrace.

From tight skirts to sagging jeans, Hip Hop has become a mainstream in fashion which was embraced by such designers as Tommy Hilfiger, who admits it was accidental as well as highly profitable for him. Today Tommy Hilfiger is one of the most recognized mainstream lines of clothing.

Tommy Hilfiger endured an attack in the turn of the millennium about being racist and not wanting black people to wear his clothing. Regrettably, he never cleared up the rumor which was untrue, according to an interview he did over a decade later on the Oprah Winfrey Show. He admitted that his business suffered and that sales declined. Tommy Hilfiger was among the first mainstream fashion designers to embrace Hip Hop fashion culture, thrusting Hip Hop fashion to mainstream fashion.
