They say there's nothing new in fashion and it's true.. styles constantly repeat themselves. Even today's hip-hop style has been done before. Saggy pants? Done in 16th century France during the 'sansbelt' period. Heavy gold and diamond jewelry? The Spanish conquistadors were there first. Doo rags, hats on sideways? Pirates have been there, done that. Heck, I bet even the old carriages had spinners on their wheels.
The rules of this contest are thus: show us today's big bling, hip culture as seen thru the eyes of yesteryear's classic artists.
