First Night sold out, however another date has been added ✨TICKETS ON SALE NOW tribecafilmfestival.com . . The Remix: Hip Hop X Fashion takes a look at the journeys of fashion architect Misa Hylton and streetwear designer April Walker, among others, who grabbed a foothold in hip hop fashion and never let go. The film focuses on the cultural impact these talented women and Dapper Dan and Kerby Jean-Raymond have made in the fashion world, from iconic looks styled in influential music videos to their global cultural impact. As hip hop music was taking off in the late 80s and 90s, associated fashion trends and styles were also making their voice heard. And both were largely dominated by men. But as the voices of Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliot, and Lil’ Kim grew louder, so too did the influence of their female designers and stylists working behind the scenes.

Akers, who also works with Beyoncé, told The Hollywood Reporter: "I love MCM. Obviously, from [the 2018 Beyoncé] 'Apeshit' video, I was all about them. I worked with Misa to create a custom look for the video. I remember thinking, ‘What brands can we use to make a comeback? What were some of the old-school brands that were logo driven and a part of the culture?' In selecting some things to utilize, MCM was one of the favorites. Growing up, all of my fabulous Aunties wore it; I thought it was so cool.”

MCM president of the Americas Patrick Valeo added, "What Misa Hylton did with Lil’ Kim a long time ago was not given the credit it should have been given."

Thanks to MCM’s chief visionary officer Sung-joo Kim, a documentary film will soon be released in an effort to correct the overlook as well as honor the influence women have had on hip-hop culture. 

"At the Tribeca Film Festival, on May 2, we will premiere a movie called The Remix: Hip-Hop x Fashion which is all about music and hip-hop from the '70s to today from a woman’s perspective,” Valeo said. "Misa Hylton will be the speaker in a lot of the movie. We have 80 percent of staff as women producing it."
