For this debut episode of ‘The Art of Dressing an Idol’ we have collaborated with the stylist and fashion consultant Ana Murillas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There was a glorious period of creativity, a boom of expression through music and art that was also reflected in the way young people dressed, and especially in the African-American community. I include here all the old school streetwear aesthetic that is very recurrent in my works, the Lo-Life and later the look of the bands, of the Latinos, the gangsta rap…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
