What does the ‘term’ streetwear mean? It is a kind of clothing style generally inspired by its surrounding lifestyle of the street. It deals with the urban themes like graffiti and encodes the culture of such surroundings into clothing fashion. Most importantly, it gives clothing a high quality.
The germ of streetwear clothing style lies in distant past something around 1980s. A movement called punk was very much popular at that time which gave the way to hip-hop culture. For this reason both of them have similarities.
Shawn Stussy was the inspirational name behind streetwear. He worked as a local surfboard shaper of Laguna Beach in California. He used his own logo for his surfboard designs and after that for the very first time he printed his logo on t-shirts. From that time onwards, streetwear genre has gone under a sea-change.
What is remarkable for hip-hop culture is its being self-expressive in nature. Streetwear, like hip-hop, seeks to have expression of its own concepts. Clothing designers express their feelings in terms of designs they draw for garments. So it is designers’ expression, but it becomes the expressions of those who wear them too.
Streetwear style of clothing has become the part of the fashion of today. It inspires the designers of today but very few could achieve the quality streetwear offers. Some items like sunglasses, bags are available in high quality.
Streetwear comprises the mixture of both modern as well as traditional outlook. One can either wear traditional suit today or can wear t-shirt the next day or can have alternative. That is why streetwear has been termed as another name for fashion.
