Dapper Dan’s 22nd issue sees menswear and philosophy unfold during unprecedented times. We form ideas, sentences, objects, garments and images into our magazine.
Our writers uncover the inimitable ideas of GmbH designers Serhat Isik and Benjamin Alexander Huseby, groundbreaking digital designer Jon Emmony and critically acclaimed filmmaker Matt Wolf.
Through the pandemic’s preferred means of online communication, architect Jack Self talks to Lara Johnson-Wheeler and Filep Motwary calls artist Berlinde De Bruyckere at home.
In the literary sphere, writer Paul Mendez discusses his debut work, Rainbow Milk, and British-born, Cypriot poet Anthony Anaxagorou calls out oppression and othering.
Each reforms language into art on the page, questioning the structure of words.
Objects—Margiela’s Tabi brogues, Sacai jewels, shoes by Camper and Jil Sander shirts—are at rest, while the bright young things in modelling move, restless before our photographers’ lenses.
Rebecca Solnit wrote, “Inside the word ‘emergency’ is ‘emerge’; from an emergency new things come forth.” The work we’ve crafted, in the pages of Dapper Dan, questions the form of what came before, bringing the new to the fore.
