Style Equation Magazine - THE STYLE OF MUSIC ISSUE | Page 95

But hip-hop will always have its styles of choice, and reflect that proudly in
its music. Some flash, bling and of course, sneakers have become staples
for hip-hop royalty and their street-style counterparts.
Wright documents the love of sneakers in her collection, showcasing Dr.
Dre and Tupac’s “California Love” where “in L.A. we wear Chucks, not
Bally’s.” Her representation, with a classic Chuck Taylor is both a testament not only West Coast fashion and laid back skater style, but departs
the fashion dominance of East Coast hip-hop.
Now more than ever, notable hip-hop artists are modeling style and fashion for a global audience of fans. “It’s the colorful sneakers and jewelry,
they are styling after who they are listening to and who they are seeing
on TV,” said Wright.
Inspired by the work with her collection, Wright plans to explore more of
the connection between hip-hop, style and lifestyle in further collections.
“It’s already starting to trigger more ideas to continue projects.” There are
so many other aspects of hip-hop, style, fashion and life in general.
