Hip-hop fashion got its start in the South Bronx along with the four other elements of Hip-hop culture: graffiti, rap, breakdance and DJing. Clothes expressed individuality, but also had a functional purpose: Fat-laced Pumas and cool sweatsuits looked fly, but they were also perfect to wear while creating and performing difficult breakdance moves.
