@@stayfocused4324 well yea but he brought it to the streets. Gucci, LV wasn’t catering to that demographics. Even if they could afford it odds are they would of had issues going into the store especially in the 80’s. He wasn’t selling actual Gucci but taking the prints and doing his own thing. After they ruined his business they took a lot of his ideas.

@enzigenes 5 лет назад

He has his brand. Since the 80's. It's called Dapper Dan. Gucci had to rip him off because they needed a gimmick to survive in fashion. So they went to the originator of urban high fashion and stole his creations. Dapper Dan is the brand and culture. Gucci is just a partnership.

@enzigenes 5 лет назад

They stole it because Gucci needed to tap into the Black urban market. They knew exactly what they were doing. Gucci was suffering as a brand. Around that time LV was more in tune with urban culture such as Hip-Hop, Gucci decided to steal his ideas to get in where they fit in with urban culture.
