B-Girl Be Fashion Show
B-Girls come in many different sizes and styles, with all types of passions and skills. Throughout hip-hop, the fashion has changed and evolved into something that each can call their own. From baggy threads and baseball caps, to heels with a blinged out bikini, the many faces of hip-hop gear have affected the fashion trends of today and tomorrow.
Sarah White and Brandi Phillips do their best to open the door into the world of b-girl fashion. In it's many forms.
With Performances by Isis, Aiyana Sol, Karma, Madeline "MadFresh" Howie, Dj Drea and more.
