Following the launch of a collaborative model with vintage king Sean Wotherspoon, Gap once again surprises. This time it has collaborated with legendary designer Dapper Dan, who is nearly 80 years old, to launch a limited series of clothing. It uses Dapper Dan’s skills in reorganizing luxury elements and pays homage to the popular culture of the 1980s, recreating the retro luxury trend style. To use a tacky word, “This series is ‘black’ enough.”
Who is Dapper Dan? As early as the 1980s, he was the most influential men’s clothing store owner in New York. He taught himself design. Because there was no frame, his works were very dynamic and reflected the emerging hip-hop fashion at that time. In particular, Dapper Dan’s definition of luxury goods is also ahead of the times. He even goes so far as to dismantle high-quality bags and use them as embellishments for special clothing, which is staggering. Even though Dapper Dan ended his clothing store business in the 1990s, his unconventional design and style still became part of hip-hop culture. Gucci even used him as its muse to launch a limited series of clothing.
The most immediately recognizable design of this joint limited series between Gap and Dapper Dan is to replace the classic “GAP” logo with “DAP” and add Harlem (Harlem) in script below to show the design. The origin of the teacher. At the same time, striped elements are broken up, and golden textures are used extensively to outline a luxurious style, leading consumers back to the retro street fashion of the 1980s.
