Karl Kani gets props from VIBE magazine
VIBE’s 15th Anniversary cover
VIBE magazine’s current issue marks 15 vibrant years of quality hip-hop and R&B music and culture reportage.
What would a celebration of one of the most successful urban publications be without acknowledging one of urban fashion’s pioneers, Karl Kani?
In an article titled “Behind the Seam Dreams”, Karl Kani is listed first in a list of 15 of the most “definitive sportswear brands”.
“No brand inspired me because there was none [before me],” Kani says. “My inspiration stemmed from the fact that there weren’t any black designers in the market and the clothing choices at the time were not made for us.”
DrJays.com currently has Karl Kani’s Kani Life Denim available, and we’re extremely excited about launching Kani Ladies in the very near future.
Check out Boss Lady’s interview with Karl Kani:
Cross Colors, Karl Kani, MCM,Levis, Bugle Boys, Jordache jeans Triple Fat goose and if you were real fly you had the Woolridge Jacket, the Starter jackets with hats the Bulls, the Hockey team Kings and the Whitesox jacket with matching Jordans or Nike Cotezs man I was a fly dude in back then and now lol!!!!
