Hip-hop was born at a back-to-school party in the Bronx, in 1973, when DJ Kool Herc used two turntables to make the first breakbeat. To celebrate the culture’s half-century mark, the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology presents “Fresh, Fly, and Fabulous: Fifty Years of Hip-Hop Style,” opening on Feb. 8. The show includes some hundred garments and accessories, from yellow-nubuck Timberland boots (favored by the legendary Notorious B.I.G.) to a red Kangol bucket hat (made iconic by LL Cool J).
