Streetwear, also known as Street Fashion, is a noun defined as casual clothing of a style worn especially by members of various urban youth subcultures, while the word Urban is an adjective defined as in, relating to, or characteristic of a city or town, or denoting or relating to popular dance music of black origin.

Truthfully, most would say it denotes or relates to popular culture of black origin (especially those of black background). As of late, most urban interests have become trends that have exponentially increased in the interests of other communities and cultures. While some may argue that this is cultural appropriation, others would insist that it is inspiration and admiration.

Ultimately, my project goal is to express the untold story of the other side of the Runway; inform fashion consumers on the origins of current fashion trends in today’s society and how the populace of the areas where the trends originated live.

i decided to create a fashion line that consists of streetwear silhouettes with heavy influence from high fashion, somewhat making a mockery of the collaboration and putting my own spin on it.
