Karl Kani is the undisputed Godfather of streetwear who launched the first streetwear brand in fashion history! His style and influence are still felt today. Karl will be featured in the new NBC News digital documentary, 50 Years Fly: The Rise, Fall, and Revolution of Hip-Hop Fashion. Born and raised in the streets of Brooklyn, Karl’s creativity and originality were forged in the crucible of Hip-Hop and urban culture, where he quickly became a standout for his unique style. More than 30 years after he launched his eponymous clothing line, his designs have been consistent go-to’s from stars like Tupac and Wu-Tang Clan to Joey Bada$$ and Ariana Grande.

Karl also worked closely with Aaliyah before she passed away. On the cover of her 1994 debut album, Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number, she wore an iconic Karl Kani metal plate hoodie. The duo also collaborated on a custom racing jacket that Aaliyah donned on the cover of her sophomore LP, One In A Million. Regarding his relationship with the late R&B legend, Karl commented, “Working with Aaliyah was an iconic moment. She simply changed women’s fashion forever. Baggy bottom crop top: that’s the Aaliyah look. Before her, it didn’t exist.”

50 Years Fly: The Rise, Fall, and Revolution of Hip-Hop Fashion is currently available on NBC’s Peacock and also streaming on NBC News NOW, NBCNews.com, and NBC News’ YouTube channel.

Young Dolph's Daughter Blends Fashion and Art Therapy in New 'The Aria Collection'

Young Dolph’s daughter debuted her signature, The Aria Collection, on her birthday. The line is part of the Black Men Deserve to Grow Old brand, which is known for fashion with a purpose. His daughter created the design herself, utilizing sketches she made during art therapy sessions. The collection encourages healing for young children who have lost their fathers by emphasizing creative expression.

The product is described as:

Young Dolph’s daughter, Aria, is learning how to cope and accept the passing of her father despite how challenging it is to accept such a harsh, permanent reality. With guidance from therapy, her faith community, her mother, and the support of her family – she is constantly learning how to communicate her undying love for her father through art expression. Additionally, to accompany the collection, Aria penned a poem entitled “Daughters’ Deserve Their Father.” The collection will feature selected parts of the poem and was slightly augmented to speak on behalf of all children who are grieving the loss of their father. Aria beautifully designed a heartfelt drawing that illustrates the love shared between God, father, & daughter. The design is high level screen print and comes in sweatshirts and an adult tshirt. The adult white tee retails at $55 in sizes S-2XL. A portion of the proceeds goes towards the BMDTGO Cares Fund, which helps to amplify the voices of grassroot organizations and help families who have been tragically impacted by gun violence.

You can shop the collection here.
