Hip-hop stars and fashion industry mourn stylist Derek Khan Priya Elan © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: Farooq Salik/Alamy Tributes have been paid to Derek Khan, the fashion stylist who invented the “ghetto fabulous” or “bling” look which merged haute couture with street style, who has died aged 63. Khan altered the aesthetic of hip-hop culture in the 90s by convincing previously reticent fashion labels to work with rap stars. His work with Mary J Blige (he styled her 1997 Share My World album cover), Sean Combs (then known as Puff Daddy) and Salt-N-Pepa forever changed the look associated with the genre.
