A visually rich documentary tracing hip-hop fashion from its roots in Black and Brown communities through systemic oppression to cultural dominance, celebrating style as resistance and self-expression.

The history of Hip-Hop / Urban fashion and its rise from southern cotton plantations to the gangs of 1970s in the South Bronx, to corporate America, and everywhere in-between. Supported by rich archival materials and in-depth interviews with individuals crucial to the evolution of a way of life--and the outsiders who studied and admired them – Fresh Dressed goes to the core of where style was born on the black and brown side of town.
