We would be remiss if we didn't repost a link to the New York Times' recent article on Daniel Day, better known uptown as Dapper Dan, an uptown dandy if ever there was one. I was still in grade school when Dapper Dan's Boutique was a major source of sartorial inspiration for the hip-hop performers and prominent street hustlers of the era, but I certainly knew of the place. Day recounts his early efforts and heyday as a style influencer, and its interesting to see that he's still leaving a mark on fashion today. While his sartorial flair seems to have taken a turn towards the more conventional, the man does look great in a suit. A great article, you can link to it here.
