Days before New York City's People Ball (BPL_Presents), our consigliere jeremyoharris called the man of the hour DapperDanHarlem to hear his Cinderella story.
is as ubiquitous with New York luxury as Karl Lagerfeld is to Parisian luxury. His innovations know no bounds and often have few manners, so it feels only right that for New York City’s People’s Ball, the 50th anniversary edition, Dapper Dan was the guest of honor. Days before the ball,———DAPPER DAN: I’m so excited about this thing. Oh man, this is more than the Met Gala. This is a personal thing for me.HARRIS: I believe we might have gone for the first time the same year.
DAN: Oh, yes. Let me tell you something, I could not believe it. I saw a woman, she had her back to me, same height and everything, at one of the affairs, and it was the most embarrassing thing around. I ran up and gave [her] a hug. I couldn’t believe it was two people in the world, so elegant and so gracious.
DAN: Other than my natural affinity for being around the people that’s going to be attending, it’s also a part of who I am creatively, and the Met Gala is something where it’s more about brands. But the People’s Ball is more about what made me who I am. Expressing that look, and that feel, and that culture that comes straight from the individual and not from the brand. I’m right where I needed to be.
HARRIS: It’s the night of the Cinderellas. Does that make you the fairy godmother, or the fairy God Dapper Dan?DAN: So that’s what it’s all about. I want to raise my magical wand over all those people and tell them you are what it’s all about. The Met Gala is just something that’s been extracted from you guys. Because you are responsible for the Met Gala. Without you guys, without that creativity coming from the grassroots, there would be no Met Gala.
DAN: That’s an excellent question, and that’s what I love to address at all times. Let me put it the way I usually put it. The brands turn things over to suit themselves and to suit the market. In order for the chemistry to work between where ideas come from, and how ideas are marketed, you have to constantly be generating new ideas. So a person like myself in fashion, or a person like Jay-Z in music, we have to keep opening up pathways for us to develop the next Jay-Z and the Dapper Dan.
