Rocawear

Part of the Roc-A-Fella empire founded by Jay-Z and Damon Dash, Rocawear was launched in 1999, during Jay-Z's Hard Knock Life Tour. Based around streetwear staples like knit tracksuits, dark denim, leather bomber jackets, and fur-lined hoodies, Rocawear was originally targeted to young men but now includes a women's line as well. The label has been popularized by superstar rappers like Jay-Z, Method Man, and DMX, but Dash insists that Rocawear is keeping it real. "In our music, we talk about what we are," says the 30-year-old, Harlem-born music mogul. "We want to make clothes that help paint that picture."
