FIT Presents Fresh, Fly, and Fabulous: Fifty Years of Hip Hop Style

The Museum at FIT (MFIT) presents Fresh, Fly, and Fabulous: Fifty Years of Hip Hop Style, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the birth of hip hop (Feb. 2023). The largest and most comprehensive exhibition to explore this revolutionary and influential style, this also marks the first time that the museum examines fashion exclusively through one musical genre. Over 100 garments and accessories capture the pivotal moments in hip hop fashion's evolution, ranging from Kangol hats to custom Dapper Dan jackets and the Manolo Blahnik Okla Alta booties inspired by Timberland work boots.

Christopher Kane Fall 2015 Menswear

/

Over the last few seasons we've witnessed (and have enjoyed) an evolvement from Christopher Kane and his label. Graphic patterns continue to be a running theme in his collection, this time manifesting in a 3D cube motif. The trousers with this pattern are to-die-for. The Christopher Kane label gets more and more polished and refined with each passing season. Coats, cut to perfection and high-waisted slim cut trousers really stand out solidly on their own.

Conversation with the Renaissance Man - Kenny Burns

/
kenny-burns-fashionado
He's a music executive, fashion designer, film maker, producer, promoter, entertainer, entrepreneur, philanthropist, husband and father. Referred to as a "lifestyle expert" Kenny Burns has also earned the title of Renaissance Man. The dictionary defines "renaissance" as a revival of life, arts and culture, all of which are qualities defining Burns. However, Kenny Burns is not a man who is easily defined, nor does he need to be... What struck me most in our conversation, over lattes in midtown , was Kenny's genuine drive to help our young people from falling under the destructive enticement of money and power. Both are often a big deception carrying little substance and are perpetuated by the flaunting of wealth and materialism by celebrities.

 In his upcoming documentary, B.U.R.N.S -Be Ultimately Realistic & Never Sellout- Kenny delivers an eye opening reality through examples of his success and through personal struggles. He redefined success through love of family rather than love of money. Kenny was on his personal pursuit of happiness and discovered there are much greater things in life than possessions. We talked about the importance of "smelling the roses" and how much richer life is when you appreciate and value living. Kenny believes that " to succeed in life, you have to live a better life."

 When asked how he felt about being a celebrity, without hesitation Kenny replied, "celebrities are fucked-up"...  he doesn't like to be known or referred to as a celebrity for that reason. "You gotta know what to do with the power you have. To many people out there, so called celebrities, are misusing their power instead of making the world a better place."
