Boom boxes, break dancing and the Salsa King: Fashion Week Black History from Jamel Shabazz

Times Square, 1982—this photograph says it all. Reproduced from Fashion Week/Black History Month staff favorite Jamel Shabazz: Sights in the City, it is one of 120 photographs that bring the streets of 1980s and 90s NYC back to life in an instant. Other photographs recall old-school 80s police vans, Flatbush boys with their boom boxes, Washington Square Park break dancers, prostitutes, pimps, block parties and the World Trade Center towers lit up at night. "At once photojournalist, portraitist, urban archivist and fashion photographer," Marla Hamburg Kennedy writes, "Jamel is a man in love with his city and his camera is his tool to freeze decisive moments in his surroundings."
