‘ No Jacket Required ‘ is an introduction into customized graffiti on denim. This is the first time there has been an entire exhibition dedicated to the customizing of denim in Johannesburg, with the goal of showing the viewers that this really can be a real work of art and is a showpiece in almost any environment, from wearing it on your back to hanging it in your home.
The title of the exhibition, ‘ No Jacket Required’ is a reference to the 1985 Phil Collins album with the same name which had influenced a TV series also title ‘No Jacket Required’ where Dreda was exposed to various musicians and artists. This was a big part in getting Dreda so involved in Hip Hop.
