MOXY CREATIVE HOUSE

The world of music isn’t just about sounds, but sights too. Any good frontman knows that you’re going to need a slick tie to match that treble clef, a blazer than syncs with your beat, and ultimately an ensemble that engages his audience.

You’d think that everyone would have to be over the ironic logo T-shirts of The Ramones, but on any given day if you look hard enough, expect to see someone sporting the iconic band’s mock-presidential seal.

You just have to love Prince for all that he is, and all that he brings to the table both musically, and stylistically. In music, he brings technical prowess and an infamous perfectionism. To style, he brings a dapper, eclectic vision of Pop stardom.

While it might all be a little out of this world, definitely give the man credit for knowing the importance of a well fitted blazer. Year after year, spot at least one fantastically fitted blazer that, no matter the outlandish color or out of control embellishment, always manages to fit the man like a dream. Prince knows no matter what you’re wearing, if the fit is good, you’re in the money.

Bringing hip hop to the mainstream was no easy feat, but this trio managed to combine gold chains, track suits, and shell-toes into a look that seamlessly translated a musical genre to the masses for the first time. Almost everything synonymous with the early image of a hip-hop artist can be linked back to Run DMC.

Bringing the underground to the surface, Run DMC not only reinvented popular music, but gave the style of the streets a new voice in the market, and established sportswear as a solid foundation for any wardrobe.

 

What’s the secret to their longevity? The band never managed to crack into the Billboard Top 100, and their highest charting album peaked at No. 44 in the U.S., so it’s somewhat remarkable that these punk rockers have made such an impact.






The looks were All-American but dirty, roughed up by the street, ready to rock. Their music was as simple as their style, but the Ramones knew all they needed was the right attitude to pull it off.
