The Remix: Hip Hop X Fashion at 7:30 PM Friday
A Documentary by Lisa Cortes and Farah X
As hip hop music was taking off in the late 80s and 90s, associated fashion trends and styles were also making their voice heard. And both were largely dominated by men. But as the voices of Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliot, and Lil’ Kim grew louder, so too did the influence of their female designers and stylists working behind the scenes.
Double Lens: Harlem DocFest explores the cultural richness and history of Harlem along with critical issues impacting the community. This weekend-long festival of documentary films is FREE and open to the public, and includes conversations with filmmakers, actors and scholars. Please join us!
