Misa Hylton is the creative mastermind responsible for many of the iconic looks worn by your favorite Hip-Hop and R&B artists throughout the 90s, most reputably Mary J. Blige and Lil Kim. Misa Hylton was the brain behind Lil Kim's purple jumpsuit at the 1999 MTV awards. For over 25 years, Misa Hylton has been pushing the culture forward and a lot of her earlier influence has become the blueprint for artists such as Cardi B and Rihanna. In 2019, Hylton was featured in the Netflix documentary 'The Remix: Hip Hop X Fashion' which highlights the relationship and cultural impact of fashion pioneers such as Dapper Dan, Kerby Jean-Raymond, and April Walker.

Fun Fact: Misa Hylton custom-designed the MCM bustier and trench that Beyonce wore in her "Apesh*t" music video. 





Dolores Huerta, along with Cesar E. Chavez, co-founded the National Farm Workers Association in 1962. As she developed into an American labor leader and civil rights activist, Dolores played a key role in the enactment of the Agricultural Labor Relations Act of 1975 which granted California farmers the right to organize and negotiate for higher wages and better working conditions. Later on, stemming from her time advocating for the farm worker’s movement, Dolores focused on women’s rights and contributed to the Feminist Majority’s Feminization of Power campaign. Dolores also founded the Dolores Huerta Foundation, participated in campaigns to support equality and civil rights for all, and often spoke about social justice and public policy issues. In 2012, Dolores received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama.
“The freedom of association means that people can come together in organization to fight for solutions to the problems they confront in their communities.” - Dolores Huerta
