Fresh Dressed traces hip-hop style from streets to runway
Filmmaker Sacha Jenkins on his new documentary on the evolving look and culture of hip-hop fashion, and the costs and rewards of staying fresh.
Sacha Jenkins joins Shad to discuss Fresh Dressed, his new documentary about hip-hop fashion, style as identity and how trend travels from neighbourhoods like the Bronx to high-end fashion boutiques, and back.
The filmmaker also reflects on the price of keeping up appearances in a world where the rich dress like they don't have money and the poor dress like they do.
WEB EXTRA | As Jenkins joined Shad to discuss his film and larger questions of identity and self-presentation, the two spent a few minutes discussing the Rachel Dolezal story.
Dolezal, who resigned as head of a NAACP chapter after her parents revealed she is white, maintains that she "identifies as black" and has since childhood.
