520    "A cinematic narrative of glamour, grit, luxury, and luck,
       Fashion Killa draws on exclusive interviews with the 
       leaders of the fashion world to tell the story of the hip-
       hop artists, designers, stylists, and unsung heroes who 
       fought the power and reinvented style around the world 
       over the last fifty years. Set in the sartorial scenes of 
       New York, Paris, and Milan, journalist Sowmya 
       Krishnamurthy's reporting on the intersecting histories of
       hip-hop and contemporary fashion focuses on the risk 
       takers and rebels-the artists, designers, stylists, models,
       and tastemakers-who challenged a systemic power structure 
       and historically reinvented the world of haute couture. 
       Fashion Killa is a classic tale of a modern renaissance; 
       of an exclusionary industry gate-crashed by innovators; of
       impresarios-Sean "Diddy" Combs, Dapper Dan, Virgil Abloh-
       hoisting hip-hop from the streets to the stratosphere; of 
       supernovas-Lil' Kim, Cardi B, and Megan Thee Stallion-
       allying with kingmakers-Anna Wintour, Donatella Versace, 
       and Ralph Lauren; of traditionalist fashion houses-Louis 
       Vuitton, Fendi, and Saint Laurent-transformed into temples
       of rap gods like Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, and Travis 
       Scott. Krishnamurthy explores the connections between the 
       DIY hip-hop scene and the exclusive upper-echelons of high
       fashion. She tracks the influence of music and streetwear 
       on the most exclusive (and exclusionary) luxury brands. At
       the intersection of cultural commentary and oral history, 
       Fashion Killa commemorates the contributions of hip-hop to
       music, fashion, and our culture at large"--|cProvided by
