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.

The Fashion Hype.

The Fashion Hype.

Hello everyone out there , as always it’s good to see you , I’m back with another one. Welcome to a new segment that I am going to be doing on this vlog/blog site called The Fashion Hype. What the fashion hype will be about is those items that you come across on the internet or possibly even on the runway that basically get overhyped way more than they should be , the item will usually be something that most people would look at and say , there is no way that I am wearing that or would even bother to pay for it , but some how some way it’s selling out everywhere and being seen all over the place and on everyone. When I say everyone I mean celebs and influencers alike adding to what’s that..??..You guessed it…The Fashion Hype. For today the subject is an article of clothing that unless you just don’t look at the internet at all or don’t look at social media , it couldn’t be missed. The reason it couldn’t be missed ? Well for one it’s completely outrageous even more than the YEEZY Foam Runner Boot , second when you see it , the first thing that comes to mind is something of the cartoon persuasion. Astro Boy , or Mario Brothers , perhaps even The Amazing Spider-Man , by now I’m almost certain that you realize I am talking about The Big Red Boot that seemingly has taken the internet by storm.

So much so that this overly cartoonish boot, which retails for 350.00$ by the way, is completely sold out and on back order on the MSCHF website , not to mention the outrageous price these boots are going for on after market reseller websites like StockX. So what’s the appeal of these boots? Why the huge demand for something that you will probably absolutely hate by next season or heck maybe even next month? Well that remains to be seen , the only thing I can come up with is , everyone always wants to be the first to be different in this influencer age then there is the amount of celebs being photographed ninth boots , who more than likely did not pay for these boots , but were probably gifted these boots , which adds to the general public wanting to pay for and cause these wacky boots to go on back order. Hence the title The Fashion Hype.

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

Even though I think these boots are outrageous and would never actually purchase them for my own personal wardrobe , I still like to put on my Fashion Stylist hat and give you some possible ways to style them.
