Cross Colours is Getting its Own Exhibition in LA

Starting next month, the California African American Museum in Los Angeles will host Cross Colours: Black Fashion in the 20th Century, a new exhibition showcasing the seminal brand. Cross Colours is a label that quickly rose to fame on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which I’m sure all of us have at least some familiarity with. Both the brand and Will Smith‘s careers blew up during this show, with the vibrant clothing being worn by Smith countlessly over the years.

 

The streetwear brand, founded by Carl Jones and TJ Walker, dedicates itself to conveying a positive social message, their tagline being “Clothing Without Prejudice.” The brand had a surge of fame in the 90s being worn by Snoop Dogg, Stevie Wonder, Muhammad Ali, and Dr. Dre, and then again in 2018 seen on Bruno Mars and Cardi B at their Grammys performance. All of these highlights along with other memorable pop culture moments will be displayed at the exhibition.

 

Cross Colours: Black Fashion in the 20th Century will open on September 25th and run until March 1st, 2020.

Fendi Beats Headphones SS15

Fendi x Beats by Dre Designer Headphones Coming Soon

Fendi Beats Headphones SS15

Unless you’ve spent the last five years living off the grid, you’ve definitely seen a pair of Beats by Dre headphones. Formally established in 2008, Beats Electronics headphones (and earbuds) have become ubiquitous fashion accessories, in part from their street-cred backed name, but mostly because of the unmistakable red and black colorway and “b” logo. Now, hot on the heels of the announcement of an Apple acquisition, Beats has teamed up with Fendi for a special headphones collection. Having already worked with Alexander Wang last year, the company is no stranger to designer collaborations and this new roll out is sure to be hot.

The Fendi x Beats by Dre headphones are hand stitched and created in the Italian house’s signature Selleria leather. The series will be available in a wide range of colors including sunflower yellow, fire red, emerald green, blackboard, and asphalt, and all of which will bear the mark of Fendi Roma’s logo heat embossed at the top of each band. Previewed on Fendi’s Spring/Summer 2015 men’s catwalk, the complete collection of headphones will be available for purchase at the end of this year. In the meantime, start preparing your ears and saving your pennies!
