BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Black Style Moment: Dapper Dan

February 22, 2022

A most influential Black Style Moment in history has to be Dapper Dan in the 1980s and 1990s, working from his store on 125th Street in Harlem in ways that changed fashion forever. He was the first designer to use logos and created a look once described as “luxury on steroids.” Dapper Dan’s vision changed the way we think about and see the world around us, and we tip off our hats off to him this Black History Month and every month.
