Dapper Dan

Pretty Big Deal with Ashley Graham

Ashley Graham sits down with fashion icon and Harlem legend, Dapper Dan! You may know him as the Father of Logo Mania — and you’ve definitely seen his designs on artists, athletes, and runways across the world. Dap found his way into the fashion world when he was inspired to put his signature spin on looks from famous European brands. Decades after being forced to close his first shop and take business underground, Dap has returned to the mainstream, reopened his Harlem atelier, and taken his rightful seat at the table in the fashion industry.
