Dapper Dan Collaborates With Gap For “Dap” Sweater

March 11, 2022 by newhiphopnews

The clothing brand Gap has been making major moves in the fashion industry. Already, they teamed up with Kanye West and Balenciaga, now they’re partnering up with Harlem’s fashion icon Dapper Dan.

Dapper Dan, who made his name creating his own luxury-label items using authentic pieces from Fendi, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci at his Harlem atelier in the ‘80s and ‘90s.

His goal is to apply that same creativity to Gap. His first piece of clothing will be the salmon-colored hoodie that reads, charmingly, “DAP” in the same Gap font.

“This is the first time Gap has ever modified our iconic heritage logo by personalizing it for this collaboration,” said Mary Alderete, global head of Gap marketing.

Although Dapper Dan has collaborated with designer brands such as Gucci, Gap has taken his career to new heights literally. Gap debuted the collaboration on 30-foot billboard, on 42nd Street in Times Square.

“Gap allows me to do something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time,” Dap said. “I have so many people who tell me stories, ‘Man, I used to walk by your store when you were in Harlem and I could never afford to buy anything from you. Then, fast-forward 25, 30 years later you’re with Gucci and I still can’t afford you.’ What Gap does for me is it gives me an opportunity to reach down to humanity and let them know that you know you can have a part of me.”

Dapper Dan and Gap’s new Dap hoodie was available for purchase at the price of $99, only slightly more than the average Gap arch-logo hoodie, but like all hyped fashion, the sweater immediately sold out shortly after its 4pm release.

Bow Wow Strives For Mogul Status in Hair Care Industry

February 22, 2022 by newhiphopnews

At times an affronted detail, hairdos among men in hip-hop have a track record of accentuating their presence. Within hip-hop’s history, acts like Kurtis Blow, Big Daddy Kane, Snoop Dogg, and more have established signature looks, with their hairdos serving as the main attraction. Multi-talent Bow Wow also fits this mold as one faculty about his way of rocking a wide range of hairstyles from cornrows to blowouts and braid-outs, ever since the infancy of his career. Now, the rapper, actor, and entrepreneur is taking on the duty of becoming a mogul in the hair care industry with his recent collaboration with Kiss Colors and Care.

At the top of Black history month, Bow Wow launched his new hair maintenance products with hair beauty brand Kiss Colors and Care, including a velvet-styled durag, wave brushes, and a twist styling tool. In an Instagram post about the collaboration, Bow Wow explains how the durag served as a fashion symbol in the early 2000s and was also a better alternative to bandanas for protecting his classic braids.

“My love for durags came at a very early age,” said Bow Wow. “Early 2000s, we just started to incorporate them with the fashion. Even in the summertime, we would rock our durags. I wanted something that was comfortable and something that can keep my hair tied down better than a bandana.”

The aspiring mogul credits Allen Iverson’s fishbone braids as the inspiration for his decision as an adolescent to attain braiding his hair. He shared that his decision to cut his hair and sport waves ultimately was due to his desire to present himself maturely, showcasing his freedom.

“The first hairstyle I really remember doing, which I believe made me who I was, I got to give props to Allen Iverson with the fishbone braids,” he said.

Like Allen Iverson inspired many young Black men to sport fishbone braids, the early 2000s was met with a boom of young Black male adolescents who grew out their tresses and rocked braids. At the time, Bow Wow at the time known as Lil Bow Wow, was a primetime hip-hop act alongside the rise of refined waves and fade cuts. The durag resurfaced as a popular accessory to secure and maintain such styles. This burgeoning came right in time for hip-hop’s bling-bling era; baggy pants and jerseys were deemed official fashion statements and ultimately created a standard for hip-hop fashion.
