In addition, some women wore apparel that consisted of items similar to those worn by men during the 1990s. Initially hip-hop women's wear consisted of inconsequential looks that reflected contemporary women's wear and were accompanied with items such as Gloria Vanderbilt jeans, bamboo earrings, Fendi and Louis Vuitton handbags, name chains, midriff tops, bra tops, short skirts, tight jeans, high boots, straight hair weaves and braids, tattoos, and false fingernails and oversized gold jewelry. Baggy denim jeans or camouflage cargo pants worn in a low-slung manner, backpacks, combat- or hiking-styled boots or sports shoes were complemented with tattoos and shaved, plaited, or dreadlocked hairstyles.
During the late 1990s the ubiquitous oversized white T-shirt, basketball vests, and hockey shirts became staples of the expression.
Goose down jackets or other foul-weather outerwear teamed with hooded sweatshirts. Woolen beanie hats and bandannas were worn singularly or together. During the early 2000s, the archetypal hip-hop look consisted of baseball caps emblazoned with insignia from the Negro leagues and football teams and well-known fashion designers. Less functional items included designer jeans and moniker belts, gold jewelry, Kangol caps, Pumas with fat laces, basketball shoes, and oversized spectacles by Cazal.īaggy apparel shapes that disguise the contours of the body were introduced in the 1980s. Developments have been primarily in the men's wear sector early clothes were functional and included conventional items-multicolored appliqué leather jackets, sheepskin coats, car coats, straight leg corduroy or denim jeans, hooded sweatshirts, athletic warm-up pants, mock turtlenecks, and sneakers and caps. From the beginning, hip-hop fashion has been on a trajectory of relentless flowering. The evolution of hip-hop has developed from a self-conscious rumination of words and music to an obstinate expression of contemporary urban life through corporal gestures and apparel. One of the important considerations about hip-hop is that since its conception in the early 1970s, hip-hop has arguably become more potent and efficient in galvanizing black social identity than the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Hip-hop is also a multifaceted subculture that transcends many of the popular characterizations used to describe other music-led youth cultures.
Hip-hop is both the voice of alienated, frustrated youth and a multibillion-dollar cultural industry packaged and marketed on a global scale.
