'Fresh Dressed': EW review

Fashion is the primary focus of Sacha Jenkins’ vibrant documentary on hip-hop style—and indeed, it leaves no Air Jordan or FUBU overall unturned. But the film smartly places those looks in a larger socioeconomic context, tracing the line from Sunday-best traditions in black churches to Bronx B-boys and beyond. Excellent archival footage forms the visual backbone, while designers, tastemakers, and topline stars (including Sean “Puffy” Combs, Kanye West, Nas, and Pharrell) bring talking-head knowledge. Midway through, the narrative gets a little bogged down in the details of retail; still, Fresh is a colorful, comprehensive trip. B+
