Sowmya Krishnamurthy is a Ross BBA Alum, music journalist, on-air host and author of the critically acclaimed book Fashion Killa: How Hip-Hop Revolutionized High Fashion. Krishnamurthy explores the connections between the DIY hip-hop scene and the exclusive upper-echelons of high fashion. She discusses the sociopolitical forces that defined fashion and tracks the influence of music and streetwear on the most exclusive (and exclusionary) luxury brands. At the intersection of cultural commentary and oral history, Fashion Killa commemorates the contributions of hip-hop to music, fashion, and our culture at large.
