Fresh Dressed chronicles the history of Hip-Hop <> Urban
fashion and its rise from southern cotton plantations to the gangs of 1970s in
the South Bronx, to corporate America, and everywhere in-between. Supported by
rich archival materials and in depth interviews with individuals crucial to the
evolution of a way of life--and the outsiders who studied and admired
them--Fresh Dressed goes to the core of where style was born on the black and
brown side of town. (Courtesy of Internet Movie Database).
FRESH DRESSED is Directed and written by Sacha Jenkins and
produced by Peter Bittenbender and Marcus A. Clarke. I really enjoyed this
documentary type film. Having grown up within the era of a great deal of the
happenings of the film. I can even take it a step further as learning from the
people making moves at that time and starting my own clothing line. I know the
need to be fresh dressed. I liked how they treated the history and held
interviews with some of the more people of that day. I really appreciated the
examination and explanation of the movement of people in the industry and why
so many clothing lines failed to make a profit. I would suggest this film to
anyone looking to enter the clothing industry. For all of those reasons I give
FRESH DRESSED 4 ½ stars.
