Celebrate Hip Hop Culture With Pelle Pelle

If Pelle Pelle had a synonym, then it would be the word “Hip Hop.” Why? Because it was one of the most dominating music genres since the 1980s that inspired the brand’s founder, Marc Buchanan, to an extent, he expressed his love for elaborate embellishments and raw aesthetics, so it became a core part of the Pelle Pelle identity, standing as one of the most dominating urban luxury streetwear brands from the Golden Age of Hip-hop to its modern day influence on today’s fashion that fills the heart of its fan. From legends like Grandmaster Flash and Tupac Shakur to modern-day artists, this genre of music became something far more prominent within the industry than just rap. It became the representation of a culture, movement, and style. 

Reaching the mark of 50 years, in 2023, the whole world celebrated the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, and so did Pelle Pelle by launching its limited edition Pelle Pelle Hip Hop Jacket collection, commemorating the 50 years of hip-hop. Offering not only fans but also celebrities to represent their love for rap through an expressive form of clothing, which paid tribute to one of the most innovative genres of all time. 

Pelle Pelle and the Legacy of Hip Hop Fashion

Pelle Pelle was founded in 1978 by Italian-American fashion designer Marc Buchanan, four years after DJ Kool Herc, also known as Clive Campbell’s invention of the hip-hop genre. The genre’s innovation gave birth to many legendary artists, while it revolutionized the music industry and street culture, with millions of listeners wanting to hear the new set of scores. Similarly, the genre’s appeal reached Marc, who saw a gap within the market for colorful and statement-making jackets that he designed in strikingly visual and elaborated embroideries, with rhinestone detailing in an outerwear that reflected hip-hop aesthetics, raw energy, and an unapologetic symbol of style and status within urban fashion. 

And as hip-hop reached its golden age in the mid-80s to late 90s, the fashion brand also reached new heights of popularity. Its jackets became highly sought after amongst the hip-hop community, from fans to rappers. Pelle Pelle became a trendbreaker that represented confidence, individuality, and self-expression.
