    Description

    New York Times best seller

    “Dapper Dan is a legend, an icon, a beacon of inspiration to many in the Black community. His story isn’t just about fashion. It’s about tenacity, curiosity, artistry, hustle, love, and a singular determination to live our dreams out loud.” (Ava DuVernay, director of Selma13th, and A Wrinkle in Time)

    Named one of the best books of the year by Vanity Fair 

    Dapper Dan named one of Time’s 100 most influential people in the world

    With his now-legendary store on 125th Street in Harlem, Dapper Dan pioneered high-end streetwear in the 1980s, remixing classic luxury-brand logos into his own innovative, glamorous designs. But before he reinvented haute couture, he was a hungry boy with holes in his shoes, a teen who daringly gambled drug dealers out of their money, and a young man in a prison cell who found nourishment in books. In this remarkable memoir, he tells his full story for the first time. 

    Decade after decade, Dapper Dan discovered creative ways to flourish in a country designed to privilege certain Americans over others. He witnessed, profited from, and despised the rise of two drug epidemics. He invented stunningly bold credit card frauds that took him around the world. He paid neighborhood kids to jog with him in an effort to keep them out of the drug game. And when he turned his attention to fashion, he did so with the energy and curiosity with which he approaches all things: learning how to treat fur himself when no one would sell finished fur coats to a Black man; finding the best-dressed hustler in the neighborhood and converting him into  a customer; staying open 24 hours a day for nine years straight to meet demand; and, finally, emerging as a world-famous designer whose looks went on to define an era, dressing cultural icons including Eric B. and Rakim, Salt-N-Pepa, Big Daddy Kane, Mike Tyson, Alpo Martinez, LL Cool J, Jam Master Jay, Diddy, Naomi Campbell, and Jay-Z. 

    By turns playful, poignant, thrilling, and inspiring, Dapper Dan: Made in Harlem is a high-stakes coming-of-age story spanning more than 70 years and set against the backdrop of an America where, as in the life of its narrator, the only constant is change. 

    Praise for Dapper Dan: Made in Harlem:

    “Dapper Dan is a true one of a kind, self-made, self-liberated, and the sharpest man you will ever see. He is couture himself.” (Marcus Samuelsson, New York Times best-selling author of Yes, Chef)

    “What James Baldwin is to American literature, Dapper Dan is to American fashion. He is the ultimate success saga, an iconic fashion hero to multiple generations, fusing street with high sartorial elegance. He is pure American style.” (André Leon Talley, Vogue contributing editor and author)

    Commentaires

    “It’s easy now to take for granted the trail [Dapper Dan] blazed. . . . Detailed descriptions of his family’s tragic journey through poverty, the changing nature of his beloved and cursed neighborhood, and his adventures as a hustler are riveting.” (The New York Times)

    “Dapper Dan is a blazing example of how, time after time, African American people have taken what others considered ‘nothing’ and, through sheer creativity and strong sense of self, made masterpieces. This incredible book captures his journey, his community, and his determination to create. Immerse yourself in the pages, and enjoy the opportunity to travel through a rare mind.” (Taraji P. Henson, Emmy- and Oscar-nominated actress) 

    “Dapper Dan is a dream maker from Harlem who carved out a piece of its royal cloth, sewed it up, and shared it with all of us, creating stars through his vision. Dap was there with the hood heroes and hood horrors, the joy, sunshine, and pain; he survived it all, and finally his book is hitting the streets, letting us all know how.” (Nas)

    Intrinsically addicting.

    Mr. Day, bless your heart for coming out on the other side, and sharing your life journey with us and what it meant to you to pull through the inevitable phases of the everyday Harlem struggle. You have shed light and given new meaning to the intrinsic value of 5 stars. *I have NEVER replayed or reread any book in my entire life with the same enthusiasm and anticipation to start it all over again, as I reached the end of your remarkable autobiography.

    Surpassed the Hype

    this book exceeded my expectations. it was captivating, edifying, educational and in a very unintentional way, spiritual. So exceptionally done that it's hard to tell if it's 5star because of the story, the writing or the narration or all of the above; viola, the trifecta! likely all of the above. this is ready for the big screen. well done.

    This story is the epitome of real

    Real lingo will pash real struggle you get get from all levels of emotions listening to Dan's story. He feel anger you for you feel pain you feel joy you laugh all the time because some of the stories are just too crazy to be true not to mention the many notable names that Dan has encountered helped and actually been hurt by in one way or another. At the very least what you can say Dan has lived a full life and his story has many more chapters for both he and us to learn from. I highly recommend this book.

    Great Great Book

    This is a great book, a great in debt look into the life of Dapper Dan. As a fellow Harlemite who family moved to harlem in the 1930's and hearing stories from my great Aunts and grandparents, this book brought back a lot of great memories.
