Gucci x Dapper Dan

By Annabelle Fernandez - published

It's been nearly a year since Gucci and legendary Harlem couturier Dapper Dan began working together and now, the duo's first collaborative collection is finally here. Inspired by the streets of Harlem and Dapper Dan's custom pieces from his '80s archives, the collab ranges from apparel to footwear, eyewear, leather bags, and more. Accompanying the collection, which is officially available to shop online at gucci.com today, is a series of photographs shot by Ari Marcopoulo in the streets of Harlem. Featuring over 40 portraits, the Gucci x Dapper Dan lookbook manages to perfectly combine the spirit of the Harlem designer with the Italian fashion house. Click through to see and shop the collection in full.

Earlier this year, Gucci partnered with Dan to reopen his iconic Harlem atelier on Lenox Ave. The appointment-only shop allowed customers to get bespoke garments designed by Dapper Dan using Gucci raw materials, fabrics, prints, embroidered patches, and hardware.

Dapper Dan first made a name for himself in the 1980s with his custom made-to-order pieces that repurposed logos from luxury fashion houses like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and more into new, hip hop-inspired designs. He was forced to close his famous Harlem boutique in 1992 after being sued by several major brands. Photo: Ari Marcopoulos/Gucci x Dapper Dan
