The film offers a scholarly commentary on aspiration, self-projection and the street-level appropriation of couture exclusivity ... Go to Full Review

The fascination of Fresh Dressed lies in the inventive and revealing way it interweaves politics, music and sociology. This, it turns out, is much more than just a documentary about fashion. Go to Full Review

Hagrid W Sep 21, 2017 I gave this a spin via Netfux Streaming, and I was impressed. You get a nice overview of hip-hop fashion and how the earliest designers started out using pieces of other designers clothing to deconstruct and rebuild to make their own pieces, then went mainstream with a certain urban lifestyle look. Worth a rental. See more
Rey W Jan 17, 2017 Some pretty spectacular footage.
