With his eponymous store on 125th street, Dapper Dan pioneered
streetwear the early
1980s, co-opting luxury branding to design original
garments with high-end detail. A leading driver of the 80s chic style,
Dapper Dan began making clothes in Harlem, during which he was known for
giving rap its signature music style, styling everyone from Big Daddy
Kane to Mike Tyson.
He then went on to outfit entertainers and other
celebrities including Eric B & Rakim, LL Cool J, Salt-N-Pepa, Missy
Elliott, Jay-Z, Aaliyah, P.Diddy, Floyd Mayweather and many more.
In 2017 Gucci partnered with Dapper Dan to reopen
his atelier as well as release a Gucci-Dapper Dan collaboration
exploring the design synergies between the designer and Gucci’s creative
director.
Dapper Dan has been featured on platforms including The New
York Times, Elle, Vogue, W, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, CNN, and
Netflix. His works have been on display at The Smithsonian, The Museum
at FIT, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and The Museum of Modern Art.
Dapper Dan’s masterclass at the 2018 GTBank Fashion Weekend holds on Sunday, 11th November 2018; 4:45 PM – 5:45 PM.
