The Dapper Dan Story 

this man is the reason why ur favorite luxury designer puts out box logo shirts for the people

I’m so pissed that I missed a chance to meet Dapper Dan in NY. He was in Brooklyn Library where they were hosting a fashion event and I didn’t know it was that day until it was over. Am glad u made this so I could know more abt him

In Africa he traded his American clothing for their style of dress and that’s what hooked him. He loved the vibrant colors. Drug dealers wore his clothes first and rappers followed because they wanted to look like the street cats. “Made in Harlem: A Memoir.” His book goes into more detail for those intrigued with his story.

Dapper Dan 🐐 80’s, 90’s to now. Clothing, Boxing, Rap all these industries + you heard of him! Inspiration to many!!!

Wow man you really did your research, props to you. The most in depth docu on him yet and I’ve pratically seen them all. Dapper Dan is a legend and this did him justice.

I just moved to Harlem and I’m praying I run into Dapper Dan

Always a good day when Threaducation uploads!

Just got into your channel not too long ago so seeing this episode pop up is real dope on many levels

Thank you for giving Dapper Dan his flowers 💐

i remember when i first heard the story of Dapper Dan. i was instantly a fan. great stuff, Threaducation.

Much appreciation for George Foreman’s injury to allow for Dap’s exploration.

Can’t believe I didn’t know any of this!🔥🔥🔥

av learnt so much from your channel bro ....i actually feel i can be part of fashion now

luv this. I wish you posted more man . I ABSOLUTELY LUVVVV THIS CHANNEL‼️

Your videos are so good, thank you

Another amazing vid

while I love your content, look into something like a shure-37mb. Your microphone is very subpar and I usually put on captions and turn the video down more than I usually do. Your voice is fine, but you sound like a facetime audio call.

Whoa! Great Pick

Always a good day when Threaducation posts! Fires me up

Very informative

You got a legend, and you are one too

We love you Dapper Dan you are appreciated and you were necessary❤

basically shaped not just Gucci best styles and Hip Hop but Drug Dealer Flyness as a whole salu the Don!

13:37 Artistic Integrity…😂😂😂😂

Amazing Dapper Dan changed the direction of ready to wear clothing and couture.

Probably my favorite video after the Margiela and Virgil 🔥🔥

Dapper Dan is the hip hop godfather of fashion

Dapper Dan doesn’t get the respect he deserves. These brands need to respect and kiss his feet.

Now big corporations, sign stars to big deals thus cornering the fashion market.

Wow!

Supreme 😭😭

Will you do a vid on Junya Watanabe and Yamamoto?

NICE!

They always trying to imitate us!!!!

Anybody can make anything.. but black people make things cool

Great video, you should do 'The young thug story'/ 'the style progression of young thug'

The goat! It's crazy how much all these brands were trying to shut him down and end up copying his style. Black designers, you are validated regardless

DAP IS THE BLUEPRINT!! THE FASHION COUNCIL OWES HIM AN AWARD! 🐐👑💗🔥💪🏽

great video as always. I really like stories about individual people making their way to the top, with unconventional methods like Dan did with "using" big companies works. It always feels like a personal spin, to take something existing and show it through a personal lense, thereby creating something completely new and inspiring. The art world is always a take & give, art is created throughout the process of observing several inspirations, the culmination of them is the artwork. After an artwork is created, other artist make take this with various other things as inspo and create something new, which can also be used as inspo. I really like the Pope-Series of Francis Bacon, where Bacon used a portrait of the Pope Innocent X by Velázquez as a silhoutte, giving his own, dark and disturbing spin. Whilst Dans work is far from dark and disturbing, a certain originality is given and even if the Logomania conquers the piece, his influence and vision is clearly seen. The process, the inspiration and the motive is clearly noticeable, it even seems like it screams at the viewer. I love it.

Glad The legendary Dapper Dan is getting the love he deserves. The creator of logo mania
