This is the concept narrative behind my collection. I combined the two subcultures Hip Hop and Grunge to create my own, a music group named "D3Z". From my own personal experience, as well as what I found while conducting my research, there was a divide in the music industry about what type of music belonged to which culture and it hindered collaboration. "D3Z" encompasses all areas of music, Grunge, Jazz, Hip Hop etc to create a new sound and community.
