The stories behind the iconic celebrities, brands, and images that defined hip-hop style.On a hot summer night in August of 1973 DJ Kool Herc and his sister, Cindy, put on a "back to school jam" in the recreation room of their apartment block at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the West Bronx.

The birth of hip hop rippled out across the globe, influencing music and fashion for generations.Early hip hop style focused on customization--from spray-painted jean jackets and sweatshirts to creased jeans and fat laced sneakers. Before Louis Vuitton had apparel, Dapper Dan designed his own luxury sportwear in addition to one-of-a-kind looks with the logos of MCM, Gucci, and Fendi. Hip hop's eclectic style eventually evolved into its own apparel brands, from Cross Colours to FUBU to Sean John, Roc-A-Wear, Baby Phat, Billionaire Boys Club, and BAPE. Sections on
