Influencer Spotlight: Brooklyn Cloth's Streetwear Favorites

What does streetwear even mean in 2023? 

This question can be difficult to answer because of the variety of styles that are associated with the term. If we look back in time, preferably in the mid-‘90s, we can see that many artists such as Jay-Z, Tupac, Biggie Smalls, and Dapper Dan, just to name a few, paved the way for what we consider to be modern-day streetwear. Though decades later as the fashion industry evolved into the next century, streetwear has progressed into having many faces that the public associates it with, and many have become enthusiasts of the style. 

This is why we want to share with you Brooklyn Cloth’s Top 10 Male Influencers who are enthusiastic about streetwear but infuse it with their unique personal flair.
