Reviews
"Slick Rick writes the foreword to this vibrant exploration of the birth, spread and evolution of hip-hop style -- from rec rooms to red carpets -- through images and analyses from stylists, designers and more." --NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

"To mark the 50th anniversary of the birth of hip-hop, an exhibition at New York's Museum of the Fashion Institute of Technology and an accompanying Rizzoli monograph unpack the stories of designers like Dapper Dan and behind iconic looks like Salt-N-Pepa's "Push It" jackets, created by rapper Christopher "Play" Martin, exploring the creative relationship between music and fashion." --HARPER'S BAZAAR
