From Aaliyah to Teyana Taylor: Black Women Taking on Streetwear
Urbanwear was born in the streets of Black neighborhoods. There is a certain sauce that melanated people add when coordinating a fit.

In today’s episode we discuss the impact, importance and influence of Black women in Streetwear with special guest and sneaker aficionado, T. We talk about the legacy in streetwear created by the likes of Misa Hylton and June Ambrose, and the future driven by emerging leaders like Martine Rose. For such a significant effect on the culture of Streetwear, the recognition is lacking. Let’s talk about it.
