How are celebrities influencing urban street style?
A Force For Good
One of the main reasons urban fashion has been catapulted into the mainstream fashion world once again is undoubtedly due to celebrity exposure. They are increasing numbers of celebrities both from the world of hip-hop and more mainstream avenues who are dressing and living an urban lifestyle.
Celebrities bring together the glamour and glitz associated with a real urban look and help to bring it to life. Famous faces often come to define a look and even define an item in itself, serving as an inspiration to millions around the world who aspire to be their favourite iconic star.
Simply embracing and following celebrity trends needs some thought putting into it though, you don’t simply want to become a duplicate, a bad copy or even worse, a wannabe. You can follow your favourite celebrity trends quietly without having to go the whole hog and look like you’re an innovation in human cloning.

Celebrities Using Their Heads
Not a phrase you see often, but celebrities are making use of their influence to ensure that urban headwear is very much in vogue this year. Celebrities are often seen wearing New Era hats, whether it’s due to a sponsorship deal or simply because they look great. Although traditionally the territory of rappers, such mainstream artists as Rihanna and even non-musically related stars have been seen out and about sporting a stunning New Era design.
There is no doubt that the popularity of these iconic and desirable hats have seen this cemented as a top celebrity trend for 2012. The sales numbers of clothing lines are known to go through the roof once a celebrity is seen wearing it, so the makers of the New Era range probably owe the likes of Rihanna and Jay-Z a nice dinner or a drink or two!
Urban style is no longer simply the playground for those who move in underground street circles. New Era hats and similar fashion labels have brought urban style to the forefront of mainstream fashion and the celebrity clamour for these have simply added the exclamation point to what is already a massively popular movement.
