I watched "South Central" with my brother the other day... couldn't help but to notice some of the clothing that the characters were wearing in 1992 that I'd easily see myself wearing today. The film's basically about a gang member named Bobby who goes to jail for 10 years after killing a drug dealer (guy in top left corner). When he gets out he tries to save his son from going down the same path. First of all that color block blazer in the upper left is epic, burgundy, navy blue, grey and a mustard yellow... and to top it off the guy's hands were adorned with gold rings and a gold watch... The guy under him helps the main character, Bobby, change his life in jail and channels this afro-centric look cause he's too deep for what the other inmates wear. He dons these dashiki-esque shirts and kufis in the movie. The two boys on the right were the friends of Bobby's son Jimmie. I really like the kid in the upper right hand corners acid wash overalls and the print on the shirt that his friend below is wearing also. The movie's pretty dece though, and it ends well cause Jimmie doesn't end up becoming a gangster despite all the pressure around him.
