this has been so helpful for trying to understand and ingulf myself into the streetwear/streetlux/urban wear culture. Its been a dream of mine to begin or at least trial my own self made and self altered clothing, but that absolutely cannot be done without knowing the history of where my ideas come from, so thank you.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I think this video is a must watch for streetwear enthusiasts.

Cali didn't get their streetwear trends from east coast rappers, we got it from the Vato's/essays, gangsta rappers and Skaters. Street Wear here was Dickie's, Ben Davis, Levi's, Pendleton's and stuff like that.. Stuff I have been wearing since the mid 80's..

I never said Cali got their streetwear trends from east coast rappers. Streetwear was made official to the world around 2005/2006. It was born out of the merging of hip hop culture (it has nothing to to do with east or west) and skate. I'm a former east coast skater and I followed a lot of the West coast skate trends. Vans, DC, Billabong, Maui & Sons was not known on the east. But it was brands like LRG, Crooks & Castle and The Hundreds on the west and 10Deep, Supreme and Union on the east who all channeled that skate and hip hop energy and really help define Streetwear that we know today. Thanks in part to the internet. If you really want to see how hip hop and skate on the east got started and birth brands like Supreme I recommend checking the documentary called "All the streets are silent". It just came out this past Summer. Very interesting and factual. I was a die hard skater during that time and remember being a part of that movement.

Skaters up north were wearing a lot of Dickies and Carhartt as well. To stay warm in the winter months and it was tough and durable and took what they threw at it. Skaters been linked to both for awhile which brought us Dickies Skate and Carhartt WIP. And Supreme getting in with the skaters in their early ages all helped take off streetwear

Stussy is unquestionably the Godfather brand of streetwear. My history description of streetwear was focused from its birth out of urban fashion. Stussy was that brand that was ahead of its time. Bape is one of the first Japanese brands to become large here in the states but I wouldn't classify them as being a part of the American streetwear history timeline.

That style before the 80 street wear started was village style soho that’s why there was a lot of spikes & leather ….then Jordache, Sergio valente. Then we started street wear first with adidas from adidas the trend slide in fubu, Mecca ,cross cross, ,gab style ,cuz the gab was a big on people starting to dress up in the street n let’s never forget polo Ralph Lauren ,hilfiger, then then bandanas , bucket hats .pelle pelle and upscalling . Dabadam used there own style adding urban n high fashion Gucci ,L .Vuitton, on penny loafters …I don’t have 5he brands n style in the right order but I’m sure I can get it together cuz I always loved fashion . Freestyle . Punk rock and so on I’ll put documentary with showing styles n back then ,this documentary gave me flash back …f[

I would love for you to interview some of the founders of the lines you discussed!

Wait wait wait, there was street fashion back before “street wear” and after the flash/dance era, just no one labeled and sold it, track suits, kangols, shell toes etc etc from the kids who were doing the more street culture hip hop pulling away from the Afrika Baambaata era crazy costumes and flashy performances, then because of the lack of surfing culture in NY, skaters adopted street fashion because they were all hip hop fans, and some of the biggest names today were skaters, raised by hip hop who decided to start a skate shop (supreme) or tshirt/branding, then to various things (the hundreds). Anyways my point is, there was things in between what you were saying which informed the street wear brands today.

Don’t forget 2004/05 Jayz dropped Change Clothes which partially birthed that “Grown and Sexy” movement and a lot of Clubs changed their dress code and for years you could not go out wearing the stuff “urban” clothes…Street wear is a non black interpretation of Black American culture

@planetbrooklynacademy

Жыл бұрын

Yes, there are many variables that can shift the direction of a trend. Jay-Z absolutely did that by just saying that line. But I do have to disagree with you on what you said about streetwear. That was an inevitable evolution. There were many cultural factors that showed that things were going in that direction. streetwear was around way before the masses heard the term "Streetwear". There were trade magazines created in the late 90's called streetwear magazine. They featured brands like Futura, PNB Nation, X-Large and Alphanumeric to name a few. All part of black American culture.

@@planetbrooklynacademy oh okay I thought it was a modern term. I only started to hear the term “Streetwear” when our style started to become associated with whites and Asians. They used to just say we looked like thugs. I think it’s important to specify that Streetwear derived from Black American culture because if not these other groups will co-opt it and act like they created it. There’s a lot of racial profiling and laws that criminalized us for how we dress so we cannot leave that part out of the story.

Isn't most things in this world derived from Black culture. And yeah much like others things "streetwear" was a term used in the underground for years. Then year later some little reporter catches wind of the word and puts it out there then everyone is using it. It kind like how the word "Woke" is now the hot word to use. But My mom said black communities were using that word back in the 60's.

Hey thanks for this informative video. Do you think there will ever be a cross between sustainable fashion and streetwear? I'm thinking about making my clothing brand go that way.

This is a topic I've discussed with my students. If you start a sustainable streetwear brand you have great potential to succeed in that pocket. 1. There's no one occupying that space right now. 2. To be sustainable is expensive. People who are for that are willing to pay a premium price for it. You could make bank. Now you just have to design a good product and market it well.

You named a lot of mainstream Hip Hop brands from the 90's. All those brands like Dada , Pelle Pelle , Phat Farm, Roca Wear, Ecko Unlimited, Fubu , ... those were mall ridden clothes and were not what would be considered real Streetwear , maybe Hip Hop gear lol. That shit was hella mainstream. Ash Hudson , owner of Conart , he's the first imo who dropped Conart in 89' ! He's also Slash's brother from Guns N' Roses. Conart was the real shit , all that other mainstream shit was corny ! And it seemed like a new corny brand was poppin up every week in the late 90s lol

Yeah I did name a lot of mainstream brands. Those are the ones that really push the needle of the trend. They are the ones that made "Urban" fashion global. But Conart was definitely a brand I group with others like PNB Nation, FreshJive, XLARGE and even Futura Laboratories who were true streetwear brands back when 'Urban" was the main thing. we actually considered them to be more graffiti brands. And Yes, in the mid 90s there was a new brand being created every other day it seems. But the fact of the matter is they were being created every day. lol Manufactures were just making up names and producing good and calling it Urban. I know this because I worked at many of these companies. Thanks for the info about Slash's brother. I did not know that. 👍

It's extremely important these kids today understand the difference between real Underground brands that started this, and watered down brands that we're riding off of the Underground. THIS IS IMPORTANT !! All your brands like Mossimo, Stussy, etc , were all biting from Graff companies. Stussy was a surf brand. Graff was around before Hip Hop, but was adopted by it. Graff is one element of Hip Hop. The clothing we're discussing is Hip Hop ! So when you say Graff Companies, that's HIP HOP my G ! All that Rap shit clothing was riding off of Karl Kani. All that shit after was mainstream watered down by late 90s. It's not easy for someone to explain, so I give you credit for dropping a video on it.

@@mikedillingham462 indeed. In order to understand the future you have to know your past. Unfortunately many of the youth today don't care to study or learn the history. Many believe it all started from the first brand they ever heard of or were told about. Brands like PNB Nation, Futura 2000, XLARGE, Triple 5 Soul and Tribal laid the foundation. But then the stuff being made was for the culture not "for a bag". It was done out of love and wanting to express creativity.
