Dapper Dan 19 looks at how we—as artists, writers, thinkers—carve out time and space in a world that bombards us constantly, keeping us ever-notified. In the pages of our magazine, we build new rules. We champion those who move against this mechanism, embracing iconoclasm in an Instagram age. We question Raven Smith’s content and commentary, Samuel Ross’s garments and products, and Andrew Bolton’s curation and exhibitions. We showcase duo FAKA’s radical singularity and the structures in tailor Daniel Haworth’s craft. We shoot Celine SS19 and capture Zegna’s collection, placing garments alongside objects to reveal both the inanimate and the human.
Menswear and philosophy are mined. Ideas are distilled. Dapper Dan 19 explores the intimacies of alienation, a new individualism.
