There's so much I still don't know about 90s black fashion but I remember being so mystified and intrigued by it then. All the black-led TV shows (not just Fresh Prince) had such amazing clothes.

I sheepishly admit I loved Cross Colors garb enough to go and buy an awesome long oversized t-shirt thing that I was never ever ever going to be able to wear in public.

Fresh Dressed is a documentary on similar themes. I still primarily wear Pumas and Adidas because of their socio-cultural history.
