The Ten Most Fashionable Artists In Hip Hop History

 

1. Salt-N-Pepa

Now let’s talk about these ladies. You were not fly girl in the late 80′s and early 90′s if you didn’t model your style after Salt-N-Pepa. They completely revolutionized music by proving they were just as good as male MCs and could look damn good doing it. Not being afraid to embrace their sexuality, they paved the way for artist such as Nicki Minaj. (See below)

 

2. Outkast (Andre 3000)

Andre 3000 has 2 distinct styles: urban dandy & funk soul brother. He always look amazing regardless whatever he decides on. With a mix of his fashion sense and interesting flow he’s created some visually exciting videos.

3. Missy Elliot

Missy is all about a stunt and a show. Let’s be honest, that blowup jumpsuit was brilliant.

 

4. MC Hammer

I personally blame this man for the question that plagues me every day: Should I buy harem pants?

 

5. Nicki Minaj

Ms. Minaj is a modern day hip hop Barbie. She’s completely fearless when it comes to her appearance. (I can personally attest to that) She might be one of the only rappers who can wear a Dior haute couture dress and make it look bad ass and uber sexy.

 

6. Sean Combs (Diddy, P.Diddy, Puff Daddy)

Now whatever name he goes by the man still has unlimited swag. My favorite incarnation of this mogul was in his 90′s Puff Daddy phase when he was dancing around in shiny suits. (My mother refused to buy me one)

 

7. Run DMC

If anyone could make white Adidas and gold rope chains chic it would be these guys. Not only are they hip hop legends but  they will always be considered fashion icons.

 

8. Kanye West

It would be blasphemy if I didn’t include Kanye in this post. (Wouldn’t want him pulling another VMA style incident) Kanye went from super preppy, to super dandy, and now mega fashionisto. Whether he’s wearing designer sneakers or womens blouses you will notice him.

 

9. Cee Lo Green

If you don’t like Cee Lo’s style then he will probably give a big ” Eff You.” His costumes are truly wild. How many guys do you know can dress up like a bird from the muppets and still look cool?

 

10. The Fresh Prince (Will Smith)

Modern pop culture might tell you that Jaden & Willow Smith are coolest kids in town. This is true but people must remember that being cool is in their DNA. Before Will Smith was their daddy he was rocking the mic with is dope Philly style.

Stop. Hammer time.  I love those sequined drop-crotch pants.  These guys both looked super fablous, and were perfectly outfitted together.  So many fashion people at the Rad Hourani event, but unfortunately the Fashion Indie cam died early into the night, but we were thrilled to at least be able to catch these dudes.

See the other photos from last night on Cult

We’ve been getting a lot of questions from designers and media who are wondering how Fashion Indie Week Brooklyn compares to Brooklyn Fashion Weak{end}. We’ve decided to provide 15 ways in which our event kicks buttocks, while other Brooklyn based runway shows fail to impress. Hell folks, fashion is war and we’re always ready for battle…
  1. Because 8 > 2.
  2. Because Fashion Indie rocks out harder than Amy Winehouse. We realize that might not be a good thing considering the emphysema thing but oxygen tanks are totally the next TrendSpark.
  3. Because our celebrity appearances will be better than Paulie Shore and the “Oh Face Guy” from Office Space.
  4. Because our models like to party. Like “Kate Moss” party, not “lame-ass second cousin who you never talk to who insists on inviting you to his graduation party” party.
  5. Because Fashion Indie encourages scenarios in which you wake up belligerent after a night of sake bombs with a used Durex in your hand laying next to that random chick you were eyeing on the runway the night before.

6. Because Fashion Indie sees no shame in choreographed dance breaks to “Too Legit Too Quit”.
7. Because Fashion Indie Week Brooklyn is actually taking place during New York Fashion Week, you know that time of year when every editor and buyer in the known universe is in NYC.
15 Reasons Why Fashion Indie Week Brooklyn Is Going to Make Brooklyn Fashion Week{end} Seem Like the Sequel to Glitter
You don’t mess with this brand of bad-ass.
8. Because Fashion Indie’s  designers are more badass than Steven Segal’s ponytail, Chuck Norris’ beard and Jean-Claude Van Damme’s lack of acting ability combined.
9. Because Brooklyn Fashion Week{end} satisfies less than a happy ending from a one-armed cavedweller from Narnia. See what I did there. It’s called Family Guy humor. 
10. Because Brooklyn Fashion Week{end} is going to get as much coverage as a Patrick Swayze bowel movement.
11. Because Fashion Indie Week Brooklyn is going to have more downloads than naked Miley Cyrus pictures.

12. Fashion Indie Week Brooklyn = Beyonce |  Brooklyn Fashion Week{end} = that two member of Destiny’s Child that got replaced by Michelle.
13. Because if Brooklyn Fashion Week{end} was a girl you’d paper bag her.=
14. Because Fashion Indie Weekend will get you laid. Corey promises… 15 Reasons Why Fashion Indie Week Brooklyn Is Going to Make Brooklyn Fashion Week{end} Seem Like the Sequel to Glitter
15. Because Daniel Saynt will be allowing Fashion Indie Week Brooklyn guests to take bodyshots off his rock solid abs.

 Abs may appear more hardcore in person.
