50 YRS of HIP-HOP FASHION: Pt 1 : WALKER WEAR: BY APRIL WALKER.

50 YRS of HIP-HOP FASHION: Pt 1: WALKER WEAR: BY APRIL WALKER.

Hello everyone out there as always it’s good to see you , I’m back with another one. This year the art form , the lifestyle , the music , known as Hip-Hop has been around for well over fifty years. That’s a milestone within itself , because fifty years ago who would have known that Hip-hop would take it this far? However for those of us who have been around since the beginning of this thing we call Hip-Hop , we are glad to see it has come as far as it has , and we were here to see it happen. But the music didn’t just come by itself , it came with an attitude , a swagger , or once again a lifestyle , the key word being style. Hip-Hop brought it’s own style and fashion with it, hence from Hip-Hop brands emerged known as streetwear and in the 90’s there was an explosion so to speak of designers and brands that were the pioneers in the art of streetwear , some of which are still around to this day and being reintroduced to a brand new audience of fashion and streetwear enthusiast alike. One of those brands being the one that is the topic of today’s vlog/blog , the brand that I am speaking of is WALKER WEAR by : April Walker.

Meet APRIL WALKER , she is the designer and owner behind this classic 90’s brand , that has stood the test of time and has been reintroduced once again to a new generation. At one point there was not a music video or even Hip-Hop based movie where you would not have seen a piece of WALKER WEAR spotted somewhere on camera , being worn by some Hip-Hop great.

Taking it back to present day , the brand is still in existence and she has not tried to really reinvent the brand just modernize it a little , all the while keeping the true esthetic of the brand alive, as well as the art of true streetwear that has seemed to have changed some over the years, but that’s another story for another time.

All looks in this video have been styled and arranged by JMADDD STYLES.

NYFW HIGHLIGHTS :

NYFW HIGHLIGHTS:

Hello everyone out there, as always it’s good to see you , I’m back with another one. It’s about that time of year again , or as I like to call it The Fashionable Time Of Year , When all the Fashion Weeks start happening everywhere from Paris to New York and beyond. However for today’s vlog/blog I’m talking NYFW 2023 Highlights, It’s good to see NY back up and running again on the fashion week front. Not exactly the same as it was before , but lets give a little more time and see where it goes , One of the biggest differences about NYFW is that it’s now open more to the public , and instead of a lot of shows being invite only , there is now a price tag attached to where you can buy tickets to the runway shows or in some cases even if you are invited , you maybe invited on a first come first serve or buy advanced ticket basis. which has basically changed the trajectory of the shows from being about those in the industry from Buyers , Fashion Stylist , Bloggers , Models , Magazine Editors and so on to those who just want to be seen for IG or any other social media purpose. But even with that big of a change happening it’s still good to be back in the city moving about , creating both good experiences and content all at the same time. One of the biggest highlights that was had by me for Fashion Week this time wasn’t exactly anything to do with fashion, this highlight fell more under the category of creating an experience. What experience you maybe asking ? Well I was able make a stop in the Bronx for a visit to The HIP HOP Museum, and I have to say it was an incredible experience to be apart of , I mean after all fashion and Hip Hop go hand and with each other when it comes to the influential side of things. If you are a fan of Hip Hop then this place is a must see and an experience that you need to be a part of and have , because it flashes you back to a time period gone by. So all in all I’m back at it again moving about through NY for Fashion Week, after almost about a two year hiatus for obvious reasons , and I got to say once again…IT’S GOOD TO BE BACK.

NYFW 2023 HIGHLIGHTS.

Fashion That Flew Below my Fashionable Radar: DAPPER DAN.

Hello everyone out there , as always it’s good to see you…I’m back with another one. Every now and again something new hits the market that completely escapes your attention , hence the title , Fashion That Flew below my Fashionable Radar. For today’s vlog/blog the new line or collection that completely slipped below my radar comes from streetwear legend DAPPER DAN. Now if you are a fashion or streetwear enthusiast and you don’t know who DAPPER DAN is then you need to get familiar , basically do your googles then come back and finish reading and viewing this vlog/blog. Now when it comes to DAPPER DAN over the last few years he has been apart of some of the biggest fashionable collaborations to hit the market , getting started with what was basically his comeback to mainstream fashion his collabo with GUCCI, once again if you don’t know anything about this , then you should. Then there was a few more smaller collabos like the one with Pepsi , but then shortly afterward came the DAP for GAP collaboration. But the question is , what has he been up to lately ? Well I got to admit that I didn’t see this coming and that was or is DAPPER DAN x PUMA which hit the market on Jan 14 , 2023.

This collection has the look of streetwear in it’s purest form , it is unapologetically DAPPER DAN , what I mean by that is , the look of the collection is bold and logo heavy , if you have caught a glimpse of it , you couldn’t miss it if you tried. But that’s what makes it great and that is also what makes it DAPPER DAN , now let’s have a closer look…

This is the kick off for 2023 , as it is the first vlog/blog of 2023. For today I am taking on another new client for Fashion styling and Image Consulting , my clients name is Taylor and she is now jumping into the business professional space. The goal for Taylor was to pick up on some wardrobe essentials that could easily interchange or mix and match effortlessly. In order to do this we had to get started with the basics and once we got the basics then we could expand from there if we are were to continue to work together in the near future. The list of items that I was in search of were as follows…….

1) Black dress pants.

2) Dark denim jeans.

3) 2 dresses.

4) Leather Jacket or Vegan leather jacket.

5) Classic white button up dress shirt.

6) Cashmere sweater.

7) Essential white T-shirt.

8) Black ankle boots.

All with a budget of $1000.00 , which when you are looking for this many wardrobe essentials, it’s easy to go over that budget. However I am proud to say that we were able to stay in budget and find most of these items to begin putting Taylor’s look together. You want to know how? Well here it is….
