A Designer Bootlegger Dapper Dan Now Collabs With Gucci
From store shutdown to designer collaboration.
From being shutdown by lawsuits from Fendi 1992 to collaborating with Gucci the brand he used to knock off in his hey day.
Dapper Dan brings in all the 80s/90s sophistication that was draped over the bodies of rappers, singers, bootleggers, and Mike Tyson; but with a hint of Gucci. Gold chains and GG signatures from tracksuits to belts. Vintage wash jeans, brown/tan hues and the money green, gold and fiery red palette Gucci is infamous for. Lion heads and Greek God's adorn the accessories with the unifying e pluribus umum - out of many, one.
Shot in the streets of Harlem, where the collection draws inspiration by Ari Marcopoulos, honoring Dapper Dan's New York roots. The man who made better Gucci and Fendi than the OG's themselves. Bullet proof Fendi and Gucci bombers where his forte. The Harlem of today is no longer the streets of yester-year, but this collab is a revival of what was.
Gucci is going beyond just a hit it and quit it collab, they are investing in re-opening the designers atelier. Finally Dapper Dan is getting the respect he deserves by the high fashion community. Dapper Dan has one legit, by showcasing the best of a hustler has to offer.
