I remember walking on broadway in manhattan about 15yrs ago . I had on all Gucci head to toe and ran into Dapper Dan. I was so damn hyped and my young bros had no idea who he was , shit had my mind blown smh. He gave me the highest compliment and I hold that with me til this Day 💯💪🏾
Dapper dan should've been over a urban division in one of those high fashion companies decades ago. Like seriously that man should've been given a chance to run his own division by one of those high end fashion brands . He did his own thing for years and he should've had his own billionaire brand by now .
Whatchu mean? Ferg been sittin on steps since forever lol. Dan probably used one cause his pants were white and then Ferg was like, "Fuck it, I'm too cozy, give me one too".
im not black, but im a minority in my country and i know how it feels to be oppressed and discriminated. but this is very inspiring to see. whatever they sayin resonates with me more power to the minority
This guy was so incredibly ahead of his time. Everything you see in his collections is stuff that high fashion streetwear today draws so much inspiration from. I still can’t believe this guy hasn’t been a lead designer at fashion houses like Versace yet- I mean only recently did gucci contract him out to design just one collection. Hopefully he’ll start selling his own pieces now that gucci has helped him reopen his shop, cause I know ima be first in line for such a legendary tastemaker.
Shame this man got shut down by these big brands just for making customs which is what so many kids are doing these days. Hip Hop style was unique back then now everybody rock the same fits no personal style.
Santy Valens ryte he changed the game if he had a store now it would pop but everybody want the real deal but who cares on the price if it looks good on u and stylish where it fashion only repeats not end !☺
If you really believe that, you must be blind. Fashion has evolved so much in the past few decades that we’re lucky to have people like ASAP Mob representing our generation and encouraging individuality. Respect.
I see you Danny! And even my ex in two of the pics! I remember that he used to carry clothes in the car back then, too. I'm glad that he is doing great. Danny is also an awesome Salsa dancer. If he were to ever read this comment I think he would know who I am. And about the pillow comment, yeap he has always been clean and a sharp dresser. Nice interview!
And that's what hip-hop do, it can take you from the corner to the rest of the world! So true really think about it you can't say that for any other type of music
I was always asked the question, when I was making clothes back in the day. I was the first Hip Hop designer Marc ECHO knew of before he became a designer. If you ever meet him or speak to him, ask him about COOCH STYLES in Lakewood NJ, where he's from.
Shout to MTV for this video we knew about Dapper Dan waaay in LA back in the 80's and the Koreans at the swap meets was jacking his style. What y'all know about the Gucci belt that reversed to Louis Vuitton. Lol. 80's shit
We buying Supreme and Gucci and shit but they are influernced by us and we're making them richer support black people before you go out and drop $500 on some Gucci
if you claim to be a fashion head and you don't know who this is you're not into fashion know all levels of fashion if you claim you are a fashion head not just the white brands every body fashion repeats itself
Harlem is BLACK MECCA, and as far as Dapper Dan, he had the vision no doubt. But the Models were the Drug Dealers,the Drug Dealers girlfriends, than the Rappers!! So what i'm saying is Harlem Drug dealers set most of the trends you see in HIP-HOP!!! Even before the rappers!!
It’s sad what blacks have to go through just to be able to participate in the market place and to thrive in society that song drake raps called “motherfuckers never loved us” is one of the songs of the soundtrack to the black struggle, drugs have been a gift and a curse in the black community it’s painful man that this was what it took to create real opportunities not crumbs for our people and we paid for that opportunity with our lives.
Tell us who you think is the most fashionable person in hip-hp?
xxxtentacion
A$AP Rocky
Fab
Rocky or Ferg , i like both
The A$AP Mob
Dapper Dan deserves a FULL hour and a half documentary!!!
Louis Mont he really does.
"We didn't do Knock Offs..We did Knock Ups!" 😂🙌 Classic

So wait his was fake shit or was he takn the gucci apart and added other stuff to it

He suppose to be a billionaire. All the big brands stole his blueprint.
Raquel & Shaquan so true but atleast he got respect from the people.
lmao the only reason dan even sold anything was bc he stole their logo’s
@@jaapvlaanderen8569 not true he sold and made custom clothes catering to the gangsters and hustlers.
@@jaapvlaanderen8569 Troll
@@jaapvlaanderen8569 🤡🤡
He's literally sitting on a pillow to keep his white pants clean lol
Steezk TOO COZY

Black people can make a way outta no way....another tale of us making something out of nothing. This was beautiful
Jake spaceman better know it. 💯

@Ron Miller TALK that shit.

This VIDEO WAS REAL TALK. SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY DISLIKES AT ALL!
I couldn't help but smile all through this interview. I like this man. He's to be studied by generations to come.
hold up hold up lmao so this guy's father designed logos for hip hop elites and worked for dan!? Ferg's got it in his blood for sure
You know the bad boy baby is Ferg
Dapper Dan is one of the best designer's out here period....

DAPPER DAN LEGEND!

Always heard Dans name in songs but never who he was. Now it all makes sense. G on my chest I don't need Dapper Dan - Jay-Z
Definitely a living legend! ❤️
And that's what hip-hop do, it can take you from the corner to the rest of the world!
So true really think about it you can't say that for any other type of music
HE'S A GEM THAT COULD NEVER BE FORGOTTER...
