Episode 13: Dapper Dan
THE DROUGHT IS OVER!! For our 13th episode, we cover the life and work of iconic Harlem born fashion designer Dapper Dan. From his early days of hustling dice games on the streets of Harlem, to selling bulletproof minks, to being recognized as one of the world's most influential designers, Dapper Dan has always made waves no matter where he went. We talk about how Dan grew from a fashion no name to a sought after underground clothing designer for hustlers and celebrities and also cover the moment he was thrust into the spotlight, prompting all the luxury brand houses whose imagery he was using to bring the swift hammer down on his operation, issuing cease and desists and confiscating garments and machines.. But after a quick 20 year stint back underground, Dapper Dan was finally given his flowers.
