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.  

Dapper Dan (or simply “Dap”) has long stood at the intersection of fashion and activism. From his start in Harlem to his partnership with Gucci, Dan’s career trajectory upended traditional routes to luxury clothes-making, bypassing, with style and sensibility, the barriers to entry in that world.

In this episode Dan tells hosts Susan and Todd about how a shifting balance of power in fashion mirrors current movements for justice and equity—a dynamic symbolized in even basic accessories like a tie. Dan shares how he achieved self-empowerment through the fashion system and why, despite his many accomplishments in the world of luxury, his ultimate goal in fashion is to fashion young minds.
