The Book (available here)
looks at the early days of hip hop fashion through the lens of a legendary group of artists known as the "Shirt Kings". 
"Funky Phade", "Mighty Nike" & "King Kasheme" (pictured below) were the team that operated from their store at The Coliseum Mall in Queens, creating works of art for the likes of Mike Tyson, LL Cool J & Big Daddy Kane to name a few. So much in this book, a must have for anyone into fashion.
