Thank you for creating timely, thoughtful, and beautiful content. I appreciate what you say and the flair with which you say it. (And I always look forward to seeing what you wear.)
Wow! I need one of those pins: "Vintage style not vintage values". It never occurred to me to think about who had a hand in making clothes from the past.
I am so very glad I found your videos concerning "VINTAGE" and all that it entails about history and especially our people - I am a woman of color who just happens to enjoy wearing vintage every day and restyling/recreating clothing into vintage styles - "IT'S MY FASHION PASSION"
Beautiful message. It never occurred to me that my ancestors' hands mightve had a hand in creating the pieces i admired. This adds a new dimension to my hobbies. Thank you so much for making this video. Gonna get that book too!
“I know that every box pleat and bellows pocket is bound by the sound of the blues.” That sentence alone with your delivery is worth the price of admission! :) Also from a feminist perspective, thank you for uplifting and sharing Black women’s voices and stories. Can’t wait for more content.
You just explained myself to me! I'm a Black woman and a few years ago I got into the Dapper Day community and it's so great to see how I've been unconsciously connecting to my ancestors through fashion.
This video is everything. Thank you so much for your poetic and prophetic words, your gathering and sharing of wisdom and for expanding so many people's circles of awareness. And all done with such love and style! Inspiring.
Thank you for yet another very well made video! I'm not American myself, so my country's black history is ofc different, but I try to keep up with American black history and black social issues too, because well racism is racism no matter the country, and ofc America has always been a big influence to other countries, so the attitudes and trends from over there often trickle down to other countries in many ways. This video was as I said very well made, and powerful and even poetic (or maybe charismatic is the word I'm looking for) on top of that.
As a White Scott's - Englishman married into a Caribbean family I wish to say thank you. This is the most respectful and eloquently put together video that I've seen for a long time.... Thank you again.
FunFact about Black history: Jazz musician August Agbola O’Brown fought in Warsaw Uprising in 1944 side by side with Poles. It's actually really amazing that something like that happend.
Omg I already loved your Instagram content but had not had time to watch your videos yet, and now that I have watched one, I'll probably just play one every morning during breakfast because I like learning new things with my morning coffee. I also hope you'll reach ~monetization~ soon! (I also need to add that the amount of pictures and videos you have shown is probably more than I have ever seen when learning about Black history in my American civilization class - I went to Uni in France. Your videos should be played at school for real.)
This is the second (maybe third?) time I've watched this, and I think it's just stunning how you've connected music to fashion the way you've verbalized. It was great to see Nichelle Gainer and Derek Lipscomb, too! Thank you for this!
Beautifully written. You have this incredible knack for creating positivity and inspiration with every video and post. Thank you to Nichelle and Derek! So excited to learn more from them!
I have a large collection of photos of wealthy blacks from the 1860's to the 1950's. I have much respect for those that made it under trying circumstances. I LOVE your channel.
I love vintage because there is a story behind the pieces of the people who used them and bought them. It's good to learn from the past! I hope the Author didn't forget about Madam C.J .Walker who was one of the first black women to own a beauty company. When I read about her in a selling book for class I was inspired and looked her up! I'll have to borrow these books from the library 😍
Thank you for your extensive work on this RUclips Channel. Wow! I have shared with my teacher friends--- history, BLM, fashion, literature, music, theatre --- just a great source in these days of online learning. Thank you!
This was well done. This needs to be shared. So many of us forget where we all came from and how we can learn and teach each other our history. Thank you Dandy
This is a really lovely perspective to have on what can be a heavy, daunting subject. Thank you for highlighting such interesting speakers-- can't wait to check them out further!
I have long been a lover of vintage fashion and jazz while also being a strong advocate and member of the LGBTQ community. I've fought for my marginalized friends for as long as I realized it was happening. I love a vintage look. As I started to work more and more with the 1940's ball and got more into the scene, I had a hard time rectifying the stigma with my non-white friends. Some of my favorite people on the planet, felt uncomfortable with the idea of attending becuase of the lack of representation in the marketing and photos from the event. The stigma of the violence and harm that occured during the 1940's and I was asked the question of why I would want to celebrate that. This is something I have been trying to educate myself on. I learned about Gladys Bentley from the netflix special on Trans people in entertainment. I was just in such awe of her power and talent, especially in a time when being Black and LGBTQ was dangerous. Thank you so much for always sharing your knowledge on the history and strength of such powerful Black people in history. The day I stumbled upon your Facebook page was a really enlightening one, and I am beyond grateful to share your message across my Vintage lover communities.
Bernadette sent me. Your amazing styles (clothing, speaking, editing, all of them!) have made me subscribe. This is a particularly beautiful video. Thank you for making it!
I LOVED this video...your message, your look, your presentation...so , SO informative. Thank you, sir! Here's hoping we finally make some progress in coming together and realizing that we are all people and should all be equal.
Dandy - going back to "All Christmas Music is Black Music"... this morning I was listening to Ravel's Alborada del Gracioso (a morning of less vigorous dance re: back aches today :) ) the jazz elements make is so much more alive and beautiful to me. Weird to comment on another video in this one - but there you are. Warmest regards Jennie
What a powerful photograph of Fredi Washington. Vintage style not vintage values EXCEPT when style and values ring true together as they do in that long gone photo of Fredi. Great content, thank you for this video. Warm regards Jennie
This is a really beautifully created video. Your passion and love are so tangible. The music, the writing, the ideas, the conversation...every aspect of what you've created here is excellent and beautiful
Hey! Thanks so much for your video, I learned a lot from you, Nichelle, Derek, and the sources you provided! Also, it goes without saying you look fly as hell!
it’s delightful it’s delirious it’s dilemma it’s the limit it’s deluxe it’s de-lovely! Keep shaping it up! This was wonderful brought here from historicalgarments on IG!!!
My sentiments as are of the other comments; Yes, thank you for introducing other artist & educators. Your videos are always beautifully done & I always look forward to them.
This was beautifully spoken and lovingly made it was like a love letter to your ancestors and wow it was incredible thank you for teaching and showing your passions while using it to teach. I love learning and trying to break down that racism I was taught as well as sharing a love of learning about the people who came before us xx
i just watched the national arts club talk with nichelle gainer, really cool to see her appear her on your channel as well! thanks for another great video
I'm so glad this video was recommended for me! I'm going to check out The Work, thank you so much for putting together this video. Love your dapper outfits and style. :)
Hey dandy, I’m a big fan. Would you be open to being interviewed sometime? I’d love to talk to you and interview you a bit, just wondering if you would be open to something like that. It would be over zoom.
Thank You For Watching

Thank you for sharing your passion of vintage styles and the history it entails.
No, thank you for uploading. Shared because this needs sharing.
“Vintage gives me a portal to the people history never writes about, but who lived it all the same” THANK YOU SIR that exactly

Thank you! I was pretty proud of that line. 🙂
@@DandyWellington You should be proud of the whole thing! So poetic and powerful.
You just explained myself to me! I'm a Black woman and a few years ago I got into the Dapper Day community and it's so great to see how I've been unconsciously connecting to my ancestors through fashion.

Uggh this is POETRY! This is the best explanation of #VintageStyleNOTVintageValues. Love it.

Thanks very much for watching it and your perspective. It’s all about moving forward but the past informs our path. Cheers!

This made me cry (in a good way). Thank you so, so much!
Mr. Wellington, thank you again for educating me. You have my love, affection and respect.

Thank you for providing insight. Off to check out both your speakers here.
This was really good, Dandy. I love the weaving of connections of the past and present to keep us motivated and proud at the same time.💖
A well written and edited video. Also, a great perspective on colored influences on vintage sartorial and lifestyle impacts.
Thank you for your extensive work on this RUclips Channel. Wow! I have shared with my teacher friends--- history, BLM, fashion, literature, music, theatre --- just a great source in these days of online learning. Thank you!
Came here by the Gentleman's Gazette! And I already love your channel.
This was well done. This needs to be shared. So many of us forget where we all came from and how we can learn and teach each other our history. Thank you Dandy
Love love your channel
I grinned through this- so powerful and moving
This is a really lovely perspective to have on what can be a heavy, daunting subject. Thank you for highlighting such interesting speakers-- can't wait to check them out further!
This is fantastic! Also, even when you’re not singing, your voice is so musical. Such a pleasure to listen to.
Wonderful video. Will you please provide links to your guests' work?
Thank you
DONE! Thank you for catching that!!

You speak like a poet
When you went to London, you truly became a Harlem Globetrotter. 😏
\Awesome post! I believe you'd like my content too. Keep up with your great work! 💛🧡
Cringe.
