CLAUDE SABBAH, 2000 WITH LAURIE SIMMONS PHOTOGRAPHED BY LAURIE SIMMONS PORTRAIT BY BRIAN BERMAN In an interview earlier this year, Yves Saint Laurent said that if he lived in New York, he'd be inspired by the style of the black community. Well, he may want to check out Claude Sabbah, who makes hip-hop couture. Think of a white ball gown lined in camouflage. Now think of it on Lauryn Hill. A couturier for the new millennium, Sabbah's work is influenced equally by New York street style, French high fashion, and his own Moroccan childhood. After roaming the globe from Paris to New Delhi, Sabbah has finally set up shop in New York. Along the way he worked as a stylist, DJ, artist, and musician. Like a true New Yorker, though, his inspirations are un-self-conscious and brash. He lifted both camouflage and the do-rag from the city streets, making them his own. Now his exuberant style is catching on. His shop on Mulberry Street, opened just 18 months ago, has attracted hip-hop queens, fashion editors, and even uptown girls. We asked Laurie Simmons to interview Sabbah because she's a connoisseur of street-wise New York fashion. They hit it off so well that she wanted to photograph his designs. Laurie's photos reflect her own work as an artist: lush, haunting, and, as befits Sabbah's clothes, a little operatic. photo courtesy of Metropolitan Museum N.Y.C USA
