Misa Hylton

In 2021, Hylton launched her INC fashion collection for Macy’s department stores. This was part of an 'Icons of Style' campaign run by the store to promote and showcase the work of Black American style-makers and designers, including Ouigi Theodore and Zerina Akers as well as Hylton.

In February 2020, Harlem's Fashion Row honored Hylton, April Walker, and Dapper Dan for their contributions to the fashion industry.

Hylton starred in the documentary,The Remix: Hip Hop x Fashion, about the role of fashion in hip-hop. The film premiered at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival.

Hylton frequently dressed clients in Western-inspired attire in the 90s, such as in Mary J. Blige's "All That I Can Say" music video. The trend has been traced to the "Yeehaw" style of 2019.

Hylton is a global creative partner for MCM. In 2018, she designed the fashion in the "Apeshit" video by Beyonce and Jay-Z. She designed custom MCM chaps and a western hat for Megan Thee Stallion's July 2019 Jimmy Kimmel Live! performance. Hylton also styled and provided fashion direction for Paper's November 2020 Flo Milli editorial shoot, which included a custom denim bustier, panty, pasties, and headwrap.

In 2012 she opened Misa Hylton Fashion Academy with co-founder and stylist Jai Hudson.

Hylton most notably dressed Lil' Kim and Mary J. Blige, who she considered her muses. She began to design clothes due to the difficulty she experienced finding clothes for Lil' Kim, who was 4'11" and wore a size 4.5 shoe. Hylton was the designer and stylist for the purple jumpsuit and pasty that Lil' Kim wore to the 1999 VMAs. She stated that she focused on innovation and risk-taking with her early styles, and connected that pattern to being a member of the "hip hop generation". Hylton took inspiration from The Wiz for the fashion in Lil' Kim's "Crush on You" video. She also styled Lil' Kim for her solo debut album, Hard Core.

Hylton has three children. Rap mogul Sean Combs is the father of her first son, Justin (b.1993). She has two children with ex-husband and music executive Jojo Brim: a daughter, Madison Star Brim, who attended Howard University and is also pursuing a career in fashion; and a son, Niko, who is a rapper.
