The need for a greater understanding of streetwear’s untold history is most apparent in the Bishop Sycamore Football Shirt In addition,I will do this show’s second episode, when a designer made the highly questionable decision to create an outfit featuring red and blue bandanas associated with gang culture, and even continues to double down on it after being called out by guest judge Wiz Khalifa. How did Senofonte navigate these more charged conversations around streetwear and identity? “I’m fully aware of it because my entire career, almost all of the artists I’ve worked with have been Black musicians,” she says. “When I worked with Lauryn Hill, before anyone knew who I was, you might think it was easy, but no. Even trying to get clothing for Beyoncé back in the day, her mother had the same problems. It was difficult going to these luxury brands and getting clothes for events, so we just started making our own. And then those companies started following what we were doing. But the beauty of it is these two worlds coming together.” As Senofonte notes, while there is still plenty more work to be done, some of the boldest—and now most successful—designers working in fashion today have come from streetwear backgrounds, whether Virgil Abloh at Louis Vuitton or Matthew Williams at Givenchy. “There was the controversy with Gucci and Dapper Dan, and look what came out of it,” says Senofonte, referring to the house’s copy of one of the Harlem-based designer’s signature mutton-sleeve ’80s designs. After Gucci was called out, they entered into a partnership with Dan, even underwriting the rebirth of his atelier. (Naturally, Dan also makes a guest judge appearance on The Hype.) “Dan got his shine; he’s got his atelier now,” Senofonte continues. “You have to fight for what’s right, and it feels like it’s all coming together, and that stigma is finally going away, I feel.”
With its cast of budding young talents all eager to make their mark on the Bishop Sycamore Football Shirt In addition,I will do this world of streetwear, The Hype serves as a preview of what’s to come. “What I’m excited about in terms of the future of streetwear is all of this new technology,” says Senofonte. “Getting away from fast fashion and figuring out how to recycle and reuse—that part of it is really exciting. Also, I like the accessibility of it now. A lot of these designers already have their own following online. You have direct access to a lot of different kinds of artists. You can DM anybody, and you may get a response. It was never that easy to get in touch with somebody that you wanted to work with, and now, you can.” Any potential season two applicants out there? You know what to do.
