Sinopse

Rise of Streetwear explores the fascinating evolution of streetwear from a subculture rooted in skateboarding, hip-hop, and DIY aesthetics to a global phenomenon that has reshaped the fashion and business landscape. The book traces streetwear's origins in the late 20th century, highlighting how marginalized communities used clothing to express their identities. Early streetwear brands disrupted traditional fashion models by leveraging exclusivity, collaborations, and direct-to-consumer marketing. The book argues that streetwear's success stems from blending authenticity with aspiration, providing a platform for self-expression while tapping into consumer desires for status.

It progresses chronologically, starting with streetwear's birth in Southern California's skate/surf scenes and New York City's hip-hop culture, then charting the rise of influential brands and their marketing tactics. The narrative culminates in an examination of streetwear's current state, its high fashion integration, and ongoing debates about authenticity. Rise of Streetwear adopts a narrative non-fiction style to present rigorous research, including interviews with designers and brand owners, archival research, and market data.

The book is structured into three parts: Foundations, Ascension, and Legacy. It examines the cultural precursors, analyzes the factors fueling streetwear's growth (social media, celebrity endorsements), and assesses the contemporary landscape, offering insights into its implications for the fashion industry and cultural expression.

Imagination - A Manifesto

Ruha Benjamin

A world without prisons? Ridiculous. Schools that foster the genius of every child? Impossible. Work that doesn't strangle the life out of people? Naive. A society where everyone has food, shelter, love? In your dreams. Exactly. 
 
 
 
We have the power to use our imaginations to create a world in which everyone can thrive. But obstacles abound. We have inherited destructive ideas that trap us inside a dominant imagination. Consider how racism, sexism, and classism make hierarchies, exploitation, and violence seem natural and inevitable—but all emerged from the human imagination. 
 
 
 
The most effective way to disrupt these deadly systems is to do so collectively. Ruha Benjamin highlights the educators, artists, activists, and many others who are refuting powerful narratives that justify the status quo, crafting new stories that reflect our interconnection, and offering creative approaches to seemingly intractable problems. 
 
 
 
Imagination: A Manifesto offers visionary examples and tactics to push beyond the constraints of what we think, and are told, is possible. This book is for anyone who is ready to take to heart Toni Morrison's instruction: "Dream a little before you think."
