👉🏽 girl help I can’t stop drawing connections between ghetto fabulous fashion and other cultural attire because it gets a bad rep in western aestheticism for being too loud, gaudy, and ostentatious despite keeping the art of adornment alive 👈🏽
like look at them. they are sisters. to me
Ghetto Fabulous is literally the name of the fashion subculture. I’m clawing at the walls in here because people are wondering why I am calling the style ghetto. According to the dictionary definition:
“…denoting or exemplifying an ostentatious or flamboyant lifestyle or style of clothing of a type associated with the hip-hop subculture.”
The fact that the word ghetto itself is a negative connotation is because of the intersection between poverty and racial minorities. But as an art it’s liberating, expressive, and campy even. As someone who was raised to distance myself from it, I love when other people are able to express themselves in the style wholeheartedly.
