SUMMARY:'Fashion Killa': How Hip-Hop Revolutionized High Fashion
DESCRIPTION:August 2023 marked the 50th anniversary of the birth of the musical genre of hip-hop. Fashion Killa\, by music journalist and pop culture expert Sowmya Krishnamurthy\, commemorates the contributions of hip-hop to music\, fashion\, and our culture. Krishnamurthy was recently interviewed by NPR to speak about Fashion Killa\, and will be speaking at New Canaan Library. \nMs. Krishnamurthy will discuss the sociopolitical forces that defined fashion and tracks the influence of music and streetwear on the most exclusive (and exclusionary) luxury brands. This program is co-sponsored by Stand Together Against Racism – S.T.A.R.  \nFashion Killa is a classic tale of a modern renaissance; of an exclusionary industry gate-crashed by innovators; of impresarios—Sean “Diddy” Combs\, Dapper Dan\, Virgil Abloh—hoisting hip-hop from the streets to the stratosphere; of supernovas—Lil’ Kim\, Cardi B\, and Kimora Lee Simmons—allying with kingmakers—Anna Wintour\, Donatella Versace\, Tommy Hilfiger\, and Ralph Lauren; of traditionalist fashion houses—Louis Vuitton\, Fendi\, and Saint Laurent—transformed into temples of rap gods. \nSowmya Krishnamurthy is a music journalist and pop culture expert. Her work has been featured in Time\, Rolling Stone\, Complex\, XXL\, Playboy\, Highsnobiety\, and NPR. She is a graduate of the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan and lives in New York City. This is her first book.\nElm Street Books will be on site to sell signed copies of Fashion Killa. \n
