Fashion Killa is the perfect book to celebrate the 50th anniversary of hip-hop - the writer does an amazing job of connecting the history and people connected hip-hop and high fashion. The cultural contributions of hip-hop artists and designers has often been minimized in the past and this book provides much needed history. From start to finish, kudos to author Krishnamurthy for her work.

A very interesting book and the author did an excellent job sharing, and organizing, the material. I was a little disappointed in the text, stylistically, but (overall) this is a valuable look at a fascinating and important topic.

A great read into how fashion and the world of hip-hop came together. Also sheds some light on which designers embraced people of color and those who did not. Loved the information about “Dapper Dan”. It always amazed me how when one did not want to dress hip hop stars and upcoming rappers, when he stepped in and filled a niche, he was condemned for it. They shut him down yet some of the fashion houses/designers representatives wanted to purchase his fashions. Very good read Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the arc of this book. Receiving the book in this manner had no bearing on my thoughts.
