Hip Hop:
“Appearing in low-income urban areas in the 80s, hip hop portrayed the disfranchisement and distrust of the status quo. Color or thematic matching of formal, military, and sport garments showed the ingenuity of less affluent but style-conscious youngsters.” [1]
The first image is of the 80's rap duo Salt 'N' Pepa circa 1987 sporting color matching and sports garments. The second two images are from DSquared2'S Spring/Summer 2009 Menswear Hip Hop collection showcasing thematic colors, sports garments and overall ingenuity.
