Dapper Dan Says Floyd Mayweather Stayed Loyal To Him; Thanks Jay-Z

February 15, 2019. 1 Comment

Harlem designer Dapper Dan ne Daniel Day today (February 15, 2019) responded to rapper T.I.’s “Fuck Nigga” diss song taking aim at boxer Floyd Mayweather for wearing Gucci. On Instagram, Day pointed out that at the least Mayweather stayed loyal to him when his tailoring business was at rock bottom.

In a post on Instagram, Day wrote, “When the brands took everything from me and I was sewing in a basement, @floydmayweather was there. When artists couldn’t afford to buy #DapperDan clothes, I would give them credit, and then y’all got famous and y’all never came back. I’m not going to call y’all out, but I’ll give y’all the opportunity to speak up.”

In an Instagram post responding to a Gucci balaclava top detailed with oversized red lips view as inspired by blackface, T.I. ne Clifford Joseph Harris Jr. last week called for a three-month boycott of Gucci. Not long after he made the call, Mayweather was spotted with his crew in a Gucci store in Beverly Hills by TMZ. In an exchange asking him about the boycott, Mayweather stated, “I’m not no follower, I do what the fuck I wanna do,”

Long before the Gucci controversy, T.I. and Mayweather have had a rocky relationship that some say is rooted in Mayweather’s overly friendly relationship with T.I.’s wife, Tameka Dianne “Tiny” Harris.

Prior to T.I.’s call for a boycott, Day responded to the Gucci top with news he was planning to meet with Gucci’s CEO to hold him accountable for the top.

In his post thanking Mayweather, Day also thanked Shawn Carter, who he credited with exposing him to a new generation. Day wrote, “This new journey for me started with #JayZ (@aintnojigga); Thank you brother for doing that #LifeAndTimes feature on me, which led to #KelefaSanneh’s 2013 “Harlem Chic” cover story in @newyorkermag.”

He also thanked Black Twitter, Wu Tang Clan, Sean Combs, and stylists Monica Morrow, Marni Senofante, June Ambrose and Misa Hylton. He added, “Shortly after that, #BlackTwitter exploded. Black Twitter is why I reached where I am today. And I want to give a special thanks to @wutangclan, because they told their stylist @monicamorrow to “find Dapper Dan” because they wanted me to do their clothes. And thanks to you too @diddy for sending @marnixmarni, @juneambrose, and @misahylton to the basement for clothes also!”

In sad news, Kering hasn't realized its mistake an In sad news, Kering hasn't realized its mistake and brought back Alessandro Michele (kidding but not really). Instead it's announced the appointment of Sabato De Sarno as Gucci creative director. De Sarno will present his debut runway collection at Milan Women’s Fashion Week in September 2023.

The 39-year-old Sabato De Sarno was raised in Naples, Italy. He began his career at Prada in 2005, moving to Dolce & Gabbana, before joining Valentino in 2009, where he eventually was appointed fashion director of men’s and women’s collections.

De Sarno's resume is no joke, so we look forward to seeing what he brings to the table and will do our best to not hold it against him that he replaced Michele. That's on Kering.
French luxury conglomerate LVMH announced earnings French luxury conglomerate LVMH announced earnings yesterday and noted that Fenty Beauty doubled its revenue in 2022 versus the prior year. In an earnings release the company attribued the growth to "expansion of its distribution network and the success of its launches." 

First launched with LVMH's beauty brand incubator Kendo in 2017, Fenty's growth over the past several years has largely been fueled by global expansion. 

Comnenting on Fenty Beauty's first forray into Asia, CEO Rihanna in 2019 stated on social media, "When I launched @fentybeauty in 2017, it was important to me to make sure it was available globally so everyone had access to it. We are continuing to expand our Fenty Beauty family to Hong Kong, Macau, Seoul and Jeju in September!”

While LVMH didn't provide 2022 Fenty Beauty revenue figures, it announced the beauty brand brought in $573M in revenue in 2018. Forbes in 2021 valued the entire operation as worth $2.8 billion, of which 50% belongs to Rihanna.

Tiktok sensation Terri Joe has landed a feature wi Tiktok sensation Terri Joe has landed a feature with Paper magazine with an editorial shot by Oscar Ouk. 

Assuming the character of a conservative Christian southern belle, Terri Joe's live exchanges attract thousands of viewers and have lead to exchanges with Doja Cat, Madonna and Hunter Schafer. 

In real life, Terri Joe is Kelon, a 27-year-old based in Houston (who is okay with any pronoun). According to Paper, Kelon worked in tech before becoming a fulltime content creator with more than a million followers on his main account @_psyiconic.

When asked about the origins of Terri Joe (who is white), Kelon explained, "It actually didn’t start off with Terri, but with Jeorgia Peach. It started with that background and with me talking to random people and saying the most random things. And then one day I decided it would be funny to just throw on a grandma costume that I had and a raggedy wig and just go on Live. I think I was loosely basing it off of a character from my favorite TV show True Blood."
