The First Edition of Sick Script explores the history and evolution of streetwear as a culture and fashion trend, and how it has influenced the Indian fashion scene.
Streetwear has its roots in the skateboarding and surfing cultures of the 1970s and 1980s, where brands like Vans, Stussy, and Supreme first gained popularity. These brands were more than just clothing, they represented a lifestyle and a sense of rebellion against the mainstream. As hip-hop and other subcultures emerged, streetwear began to evolve and expand, incorporating elements from various cultures and communities.
One of the unique aspects of streetwear is its ability to reflect the cultural and political climate of the times. Brands like FUBU, Rocawear, and Sean John emerged during the 1990s, a time when hip-hop was becoming a major cultural force and representing a new voice in fashion. Streetwear fashion continued to evolve and adapt, with brands like A Bathing Ape, Bape, and BAPEX gaining popularity in Japan and The Hundreds, HUF, and Diamond Supply Co. becoming popular in the United States.
The streetwear industry has exploded over the past few decades, becoming a billion-dollar market that shows no signs of slowing down. What started as a subculture for young people in urban areas has now become a global phenomenon, with brands and designers from all over the world jumping on the streetwear bandwagon. While the industry may have humble beginnings, it has now become a cultural force, influencing not just fashion, but music, art, and even technology. It's exciting to see how streetwear will continue to evolve and shape the world around us.
In recent years, the streetwear market has expanded to include India, where a growing youth culture is fueling the demand for unique, statement-making clothing. Indian streetwear brands like VegNonVeg, NorBlackNorWhite, and Anti-Social have emerged, offering a fresh take on traditional Indian fashion.
