Dress and music again work together and influence the runway. Hip Hop from New York and later Los Angeles is recognized by oversized proportions, hoodies, and sneakers. Low slouch at the waist for pants and ball caps worn backwards also defines the look.
Seen in the 1970's, Hip Hop music include MC-ing (rapping and beatbox) and DJ-ing (repeated music motifs with fingers on the turntable). Breakdancing is also associated to Hip Hop. Clothes consist of red, black, and green, kufis (or fez), loose running suits, Nike sneakers and Starter Jackets.
On the runway, hats and short down coats, hooded sweatsuits and low waist or full cut jeans and cargo pants provide a hip-hop feel.
