Entertainment Weakly – Skurban Style

That’s no typo in the the title, it’s editorial commentary. The April 20th issue of Entertainment Weekly has a “Style” page with this breaking news: “The latest hip-hop style trend? Skateboard Chic.” Apparently, the style is called Skurban. The layout features a couple DGK decks in the layout, and assorted trite skateboard culture observations. If you can stomach it, you can see and read it all after the jump.

Skateboarding as fashion in Entertainment Weekly

From the April 20th issue of Entertainment Weekly:

The latest hip-hop style trend? Skateboard Chic. From bling king Pharrell Williams to Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy, MC’s of all stripes are taking cues from ghetto-fab cekeb skaters like Stevie Williams and Marcus McBride. Fashionistas call it “Skurban,” but we just think it’s fly.

Read the captions – “The quintessential wardrobe staple for skater boys in the hood.” I have to stop typing, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

  1. Reminds me of Action Now’s “Summer Guide to Cool”

  2. Are the Fashionistas trying to overthrow a fashion dictator who is being backed by the CIA? Your clothing would be more rebellious if you didn’t wear the same goddamned thing every other rat-faced little fucker is wearing. Skurban. Sheesh.

    Hey, is the Castro cap a reference to Fidel or the infamous Castro Street, SF gay neighborhood? Looks kind of like one of those leather boy hats.
