THE STAYING POWER OF A STREETWEAR BRAND: PAPER PLANES.

THE STAYING POWER OF A STREETWEAR BRAND: PAPER PLANES.

Hello everyone out there , as always it’s good to see you…I’m back with another one. Today I am back in my streetwear bag , if you are the least bit familiar with this vlog/blog or my YouTube channel , then you know that streetwear holds a special place in my fashionable rolodex. If you are not to familiar then you may be asking , why is that ? Well streetwear is where I got my intro into the world of fashion , from watching brands like KARL KANI or FUBU and how they got their start all the way up to being inspired to start my own brand many years ago as I saw those guys growing and taking over in the streetwear space or genre. The MAGIC Market Place was an amazing thing to see at that time as all those brands would converge on Vegas and so to speak compete side by side with one another for various buyers business. Being that I saw all of this happening and through my hat into the streetwear ring as well , I can appreciate how difficult it is and can be to maintain a streetwear brand. So it is always interesting to see how those various brands and even brands of today that have been built off the backs of those original streetwear brands have and do to maintain longevity past being just a flash in the fashionable pan and there is no other genre of fashion that is harder to keep alive and relevant than a streetwear brand. But there are those that have managed to do this be it past or present , and the brand that we are taking a look at today is The PAPER PLANES brand. This is not the first time that I have spoke on this fairly new brand that falls under The Roc Nation umbrella owned and co-owned by JAY-Z and Emory jones , and that is why it fits perfectly into my STAYING POWER OF A STREETWEAR BRAND segment. This brand was introduced somewhere around 2018 or so and continues to grow and progress to the point of going from mostly on line sales to now it’s first brick and mortar location in lower Manhattan , basically proving that slow and steady growth is better in most cases than over saturation that can cause any brand to fade faster than it should. In short, PAPER PLANES falls under the IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW category , and I have to say that I’m a major fan of this new age streetwear brand. So with that said lets have a look at what you can expect from PAPER PLANES for this current fall/winter season.

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

The JMADDD STYLES FALL FASHION SPECTACULAR: PT.4: 50 YRS. OF HIP-HOP FASHION & STYLE: THE TRACKSUIT.

THE JMADDD STYLES FALL FASHION SPECTACULAR:PT.4: 50 YRS. OF HIP-HOP FASHION AND STYLES.

Hello everyone out there , as always it’s god to see you , I’m back with another one. Welcome too the fourth installment of my Fall Fashion series , Today I’m going to take you on a fashionable journey from present to past back to present. And it all starts here , A little over a week or two or more ago , I went to go check LL Cool J’s THE F.O.R.C.E. TOUR , and it was truly an excellent show. I mean all the acts did an outstanding job from THE ROOTS , to QUEEN LATIFAH , to LL COOL J himself and all of the special guest surprises in between. Overall the show was an excellent representation of 50 years Hip-Hop.

But it wasn’t just the show itself that was good , it was the show within the the show that was down right incredible as well. By that I mean the audience , just about everyone came out dressed in old school looks , instantly flashing you back too anytime period gone by. A time when the music , the fashion , the style was all new , but the amazing thing about it was that all the looks you were seeing at the show , wasn’t clothing that was saved in someones closet from that time period. The looks being seen that night was new adaptions of that true old school street fashion , basically showing that these looks are back with a new more modern twist. But the most noteable piece from that time period and the show as well was the classic tracksuit , which was always a major staple in streetwear or street fashion.

Well it’s back like it never left , and I for one am absolutely glad to see it’s return in such a major way. So that is the focus of todays vlog/blog the return of the classic tracksuit from both Adidas & PUMA. The only difference from the look of the tracksuit then as opposed to now is the tailoring , the new adaptions of these classic pieces are designed to fit better instead of being as baggy or big , but still gives you the same great look and feel of yesterday. Also there are so many ways to style looks based around these tracksuits , in fact let’s have a look.

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

So what do you think ? Back like it never left ? Well as always…I LET YOU TELL IT…and on that note , to shop the looks in todays video and in the pics above log onto www.adidas.com and www.puma.com .

50 YRS of HIP-HOP FASHION & STYLE: Pt.2: KARL KANI.

50 YRS of HIP-HOP FASHION & STYLE: Pt.:2:KARL KANI.

Hello everyone out there , as always it’s good to see you, I’m back with another one. As I was saying in part one of this series, Hip-Hop has reached a major milestone this year , reaching its 50th anniversary. But it’s not only the art form of Hip-Hop that has reached its 50th anniversary but all the fashion and lifestyle that came along with it. The style and attitude that is Hip-Hop has also reached the same milestone. With that said, at the beginning of what is called the Golden Era of Hip-Hop from the late 80’s going into the early 90’s we saw the emergence of a different kind of designer , a designer that came with the power of relatability that made the brand they were designing relatable as well. In this case I’m talking KARL KANI , From the very moment that you first saw KARL KANI , You instantly thought or at least I know that I thought , that could very well be me or it could very well be you. He made fashion become something that you actually do or be apart of it no longer seemed untouchable or unattainable, in turn breeding a whole new crop of designers that gave you a whole new form of fashion that came to be known as streetwear.

I remember the first time I ever saw this vest that kind of started it all, for the KARL KANI brand in my fashionable opinion being worn on YO’ MTV RAPS , I didn’t know what it was or who made it , but I knew it was something that I wanted to have , not even being sure of what the KANI signature on the side even meant. Or even these adds that ran in magazines like VIBE , RIGHT ON , or THE SOURCE ,

not to tell you my age or anything. But if you fast forward from then up to now , the brand is still here , making it’s mark and maintaining it’s spot in streetwear , keeping its true esthetic only difference it’s graduated to a more high end look with richer looking materials elevating the brand and the look of the brand to a more street luxury look as opposed to being stuck in the look of what would be streetwear.

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

So in a nutshell the KARL KANI brand after all these years is still out there making noise having its presence felt, solidifying its position in fashion and streetwear.

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.
