Hip Hop Lives On

In the 1980s Hip Hop fashion spread to the runways as it caught the attention of major fashion designers.  Issac Mizrahi was inspired by the gold chain his elevator operator wore and designed a collection heavily influenced by hip hop.  Even conservative Chanel could not resist the allure of hip hop and designed their Fall 1991 collection with black leather jackets and piles of bling. 


DSquared brings back the hip hop look this season pairing its sexy bathing suits with lots of bling and big sunglasses, which points to classic hip hop references.
