THIS ILLUSTRATED CHRONICLE OFTHE PAST 20 years, taken from the pages of PAPER magazine, depicts how style both influences and is influenced by everything out on the streets. From hip-hop, clubs, music, art and skate culture to drag, film and fashion, it is a circular relationship. Style begins with a group of cool kids who create some outlandish look while hanging out together,then see it appropriated by the world of high fashion,then into mass culture, and then watch as it eventually ends up on the street once again--where it's transformed into something completely new. 20 Years of Style shows you the power of youth and the avant-garde, and how even the most outrageous creations eventually infiltrate the mainstream.This book is essential reading for marketers, historians and students of hip culture,as well as anyone who's trying to figure out what the next big new thing will be.
