Kudos to Dapper Dan for finally getting his flowers because he IS a TRUE FASHION PIONEER ✨🔥🧡
That's how it is being black on your own land stolen by colonizers. Blacks were in America first for thousands of years, and on earth millions of years before the colonizer/white man was even invented
after death..?? didnt he died a few years back

Dapper Dan is a Fashion Icon in every sense of the word. So happy to see that he is getting his well deserved flowers. The industry had to catch up to his genius..👋👋👋

Salute to dapper Dan....truly from the bottom to the top of fashion his styles were NYC back in the best days...Salute
Dap is the dude. Legit just be walking around Harlem. Respect OG!
He really is ❤ so down to earth and humble. just walking around regularly 💯
EXTRAORDINARY! Being the son of a tailor that work for the Jews in the garment district late 50’s and 60’s it’s amazing to see a black man take on and create his own fashion line. Becoming an icon in that world is a major achievement and inspiring. My hat goes off to you DAPPER DAN. Thank you for your positive spirit and energy. Just what WE needed!
Saw the Harlem Renaissance exhibit at the Met yesterday. If you get a chance, go see it. And have the soul food meal in the cafeteria ("The Eatery). It's the only thing on the menu that's good, and worth the price ($21).
I remember in 1986 buying the original Gucci tennis sneakers that were a must have because all the drug dealers were wearing them and I couldn’t find any sweat suits by Gucci to wear the sneakers with so, I got on the Grayhound bus and headed to Harlem NY from Philly. Long story short, I had Dan make me a sweat suit that got the attention of Cool C, Steady B, Will Smith when I wore it to a 80’s hip hop festival in Philadelphia pubic park called the fairmont park Plateau
I've Always Been A Huge Admirer Of Dapper Dan He Is The Greatest 🙏🏿💯❤️
Congratulations 🎉🍾 you deserve it all -- wishing you more to come ❤
This man had a profound influence on everything. Truly a living legend
Amazing brother with a style of his own, legendary!!
NYC created so much swag specially Harlem they have had such a big influence in the hip hop culture
He looks good for his age.
Iconic figure. Without a doubt. Seeing an almost 80 yr old walking around lovely is incredible.
I Love this guy story.
i'm from the Pacific Northwest but grew up on New York hip hop almost exclusively. Dapper Dan's name rings bells even to my neck of the woods. to say he's a legend would be an understatement. them Dapper Dan leathers. bro looks fucking incredibly for 80 years old.
Me and this Man is the same age. I can’t believe I will be 80 years old this year.

Amazing Amazing man. True inspiration. I wore the DAP hoodie on a recent hike on a mountain ⛰️ in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 and 2 pple walked by and knew about the Harlem Legend. I felt a huge sense of pride.
Did Fendi ever come back and apologize or do a collab
Man I visited Harlem and the energy makes you wanna come back everytime so to see him in his community is very dope
Respect the brother.... The new generation has a voice too..
This is the first time I saw Dapper Dan without glasses
I'm so glad that he has lived long enough to see himself become the hero, loved by the mainstream fashion lines
Harlem makes it and the whole damned world appropriates it. Thanks to brother Dap for representing the home team and educating the people on how Harlem gets down.

Fashion icon
Glad to see Dapper Dan get his flowers and shake hands with local vendors/supporters. The blue & red attire is 🔥.
Love this story……
When you greet a man in Trinidad & Tobago in the 90’s , you called him Dan . Dance Hall musicians in Jamaica during this time , also referred to themselves as a Dan . Meaning clean , well dressed & respectful.
That woman said "For too long, the fashion system has excluded Black people while appropriating Black culture." A brilliant artist true to his roots got them to see and say that out loud.
This King deserves all his flowers. Kennedy awards, a star on the Hollywood walk of fame, all the flowers he deserves..
Go Lindsey! Thank You For bringing this story!
Amazing
Dope!!!
"I didn't do knock-offs. I did knock-ups..."
🙌🏽😎🗽
My man Dapper Dan😎💪🔥
DAP like an urban legend but he’s real. 🙏🏾
Respect!!!❤❤
God blesses his own
You are a lifesaver Mr Dapper Dan⚘️
I remember all of this. Hip hop culture is in just about everything nowadays

I knew that fight with Tyson was going to mess it up for him temporarily.
