BHM: Birth of Cool: 20 Black Style Pioneers


Happy Sunday!

So if you know me, you know that GQ is one of my favorite magazines/websites, so I was pleased to see their feature, in partnership with the guys of Street Etiquette (see my last post) entitled "Birth of Cool: 20 Black Style Pioneers". Many of the men featured are well-known figures such as Miles Davis, Marvin Gaye, and Harry Belafonte, but I was even more impressed by some of the lesser known men that were part of this distinguished list, including Dick Gregory, Johnny Hodges, and Vivien Thomas.

Anyhow, check out the slideshow here and see how these men helped mold our history.

Cheers to style,

JIP
