A Look Back at Kris Kross Fashion

We remember Chris Kelly and the fashion he helped inspire.

The Mac Daddies - Child rappers Chris Kelly ("Mac Daddy") and Chris Smith ("Daddy Mac") of Kris Kross had everyone wearing their clothes backwards during the '90s and jumpin' to their infectious beats. With the sudden passing of Chris Kelly on Wednesday at the age of 34, we take a look back at some of the duo's unconventional style.   (Photo: Chris Connor / WENN)
Jump! Jump! - The duo busted onto the scene at the age of 13 after they were discovered by producer Jermaine Dupri. Their first single "Jump" was a huge hit with eight weeks in the Billboard Hot 100 and their debut album Totally Krossed Out went multiplatinum.   (Photo:  Michel Linssen/Redferns)
Billboard's Best New Artists - After conquering the charts, the accolades soon followed. The video for Kris Kross' follow-up single "Warm It Up" earned the duo a Billboard video award for Best New Artist. The single also reached No. 14 on the singles chart.
