Despite this interconnectedness, rarely has anyone taken a closer look as to <a href=\"http:\/\/fashionista.com\/2013\/01\/yo-an-incomplete-history-of-fashion-name-dropping-in-rap\"><em>why <\/em>rappers name-drop designers in lyrics<\/a>, or how these artists suddenly influenced designers beyond providing the runway soundtrack. This is where\u00a0&#8220;Fresh Dressed&#8221; comes in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-scope\">The documentary was co-produced by Nas and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last weekend. Combining old-school video footage and interviews, director Sacha Jenkins \u2014 who\u2019s also the creative director of the magazine &#8220;Mass Appeal&#8221; \u2014 sends the audience on a whirlwind trip through the history of hip-hop and fashion. From the breakdancers&#8217; custom outfits in the South Bronx during the \u201870s to the \u201880s designer Dapper Dan (known for spray painting designer logos on T-shirts from his Harlem apartment) to Rocawear, the clothing line started by Jay Z in the &#8217;90s, the references here stretch far and wide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-scope\">Additionally, he\u2019s enlisted more than 70 music and fashion industry players including Pharrell Williams, Andre Leon Talley and Tisci to weigh in on how hip-hop has influenced them \u2014 and vice versa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-scope\">Get briefed on &#8220;Fresh Dressed,&#8221; which will air on CNN later this year, in our interview with Jenkins.
