Dir. Sacha Jenkins. 2015, 90 mins. Digital projection. With Damon Dash, Daymond John, Karl Kani, Nasir Jones. Fresh Dressed is a fascinating chronicle of hip-hop, urban fashion, and the hustle that brought oversized pants and graffiti-drenched jackets from Orchard Street to high fashion catwalks and shopping malls in Middle America. Director Sacha Jenkins’s music-drenched history draws from a rich mix of archival materials and in-depth interviews with rappers, designers, and other industry insiders, including Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Sean “Puffy” Combs, Nasir Jones, Pusha T, Swizz Beatz, Damon Dash, André Leon Talley, A$AP Rocky, Marc Ecko, Big Daddy Kane, Kid ‘N Play, Russell Simmons, and many others.
