The exiting story about how the street wear pioneers Shirt Kings created a style that would define hip hop culture in the 1980s and beyond.
Jamaica, Queens, New York in the mid 1980s. Rappers, celebrities and hip hop fans came from all over the city to get their own customized T-shirt by the Shirt Kings. The style traveled all over the world through record covers and music videos, and the Shirt Kings designs soon became synonymous with hip hop and the culture of making something out of nothing. Shirt Kings: Pioneers of Hip Hop Fashion looks at the early days of street wear through the lens of the pioneering group of artistic entrepreneurs known as the Shirt Kings. By adapting the graffiti skills from the trains and spray cans to shirts and airbrush they created a new look for a new generation. Edwin PHADE Sacasa is a founding artist of the group and it is through his archives that we are transported to the 1980s in New York City where the fashion was loud, colorful, and filled with cartoon imagery. But not just any cartoon imagery for the cartoons where urbanized. Mickey Mouse with a Fila suit, Casper the Friendly Ghost with gold teeth and Pink Panther with gold chains.
People from across the city made their way to Jamaica, Queens to a small shopping mall known as the Coliseum where you could easily bump into the biggest names in hip hop of the day. From DJ Red Alert to LL Cool J to Big Daddy Kane to Mike Tyson - they all had to have their Shirt Kings designs. Shirt Kings: Pioneers of Hip Hop Fashion chronicles the art, the styles, and the people who where loyal supporters of the Shirt Kings, and takes us on a trip down memory lane to when customization and art reigned supreme in New York City.
After the hardcover has been sold out for years, just in time for hip hop's 50th anniversary comes another chance to take part of the Shirt Kings' inspiring history as pioneers of hip hop and street wear in this beautiful soft cover edition.

Epuisé et attendu depuis des années, Cholo Writing est enfin disponible dans une belle édition reliée. Le cholo est la plus ancienne forme de graffiti du 20ème siècle, un phénomène américano-mexicain visible à Los Angeles bien avant l'apparition des graphies de la fin des années 1960 à New York. Il a eu une influence majeure sur les expressions de la culture populaire californienne, y compris les mouvements lowrider, surf, skate et hip-hop. Les «placas» sont des inscriptions territoriales créées pour définir le territoire d'un gang, une véritable calligraphie urbaine en constante évolution avec des codes stricts utilisés par les gangs latinos pour l'écriture de rue depuis la fin des années 1930. Ici, le photographe Howard Dribble et le spécialiste de typographie François Chastanet documentent l'évolution visuelle du Cholo et l'influence des polices de caractères noires et de modèles calligraphiques comme le Old English à travers deux séries de photos commentées.
