Fresh Dressed | Documentary | In Select Theaters June 26



Fresh Dressed is a documentary by filmmaker Sacha Jenkins that explores the history of urban street culture which was highly influenced by fashion and hip-hop.

The documentary was co-produced by Nas and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Combining old-school video footage and interviews, director Sacha Jenkins — who’s also the creative director of the magazine "Mass Appeal" — sends the audience on a whirlwind trip through the history of hip-hop and fashion. From the breakdancers' custom outfits in the South Bronx during the ‘70s to the ‘80s designer Dapper Dan (known for spray painting designer logos on T-shirts from his Harlem apartment) to Rocawear, the clothing line started by Jay Z in the '90s, the references here stretch far and wide.

Additionally, he’s enlisted more than 70 music and fashion industry players including Pharrell Williams, Andre Leon Talley and Tisci to weigh in on how hip-hop has influenced them — and vice versa.

Watch a clip from the upcoming film below.





This interview is part of KCRW's coverage of the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
