Behind the design

Large pockets, plaid fabric and a roomy cut bring workwear references into Karl Kani’s vest. The Museum at FIT connects this style with Tupac Shakur and with the designer’s influence on 1990s hip-hop clothing. The source identifies cotton and wool but does not publish a more precise year.
