How did April Walker refashion Walker Wear?

Grey Matter: A Podcast About Ideas

April Walker became a legend in the hip-hop fashion scene, as the first woman to break into the industry when she opened her store, Fashion in Effect in the late 80’s. Over the decades, she dressed icons like Biggie, Tupac, Jay Z, and Mike Tyson in her Walker Wear brand. In the process, she herself became an icon.

For our season 3 premiere we’ll hear April’s story, from her inspirations growing up in Brooklyn to the next generation she is inspiring now.
