Dapper Dan: Made in Harlem - by Daniel R Day

Dapper Dan: Made in Harlem is a memoir that tells the story of a remarkable and unlikely evolution, from a hungry boy with holes in his shoes to a world-famous designer whose looks defined an era.

This book is not just about fashion but also about adventure, struggle, curiosity, hustle, love, and determination.

Dapper Dan's story is an inspiration for anyone who wants to change their life and make a difference 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.

Dapper Dan's memoir is an intriguing and twisty tale about the hustle and the hustler, and it is eloquently and engagingly told.

The book contains multitudes, and so does its author.

Pick up Dapper Dan: Made in Harlem to spend some time in the mind of a truly creative and clever innovator.
