”I was introduced to fashion by my mother. I’ve always looked up to my mother and her fashion sense. We would watch old movies and I would feel in love with the glamour of old Hollywood fashion.
Today, I would say my style is a mix of vintage and trendy touches. I wear what I like. At times I can be seen wearing a men’s item or two. I like to go from edgy to girly and even mix the two styles into one outfit. I feel as though fashion can’t be put in a box. It’s you every part of you, and for this Gemini woman there’s a lot of parts.’

‘As A Young Child My Father Always Instilled In Me That…’

‘As a young child my father always instilled in me that the way you are dressed represents the type of man you are. To be distinguished you must dress the part.
Now as a young man my fashion embodies what a true “Dapper Dan” represents. Fashion is what you buy, style is what you wear. I’m 26 years old. I grew up in Brooklyn,N.Y. in an impoverished neighborhood. My father desperately sheltered me from that kind of environment while other kids attended school with oversized baggy clothes and overpriced sneakers. He sent me to school occasionally in a nice pressed suit and shine buffed shoes.'
'My father taught me to be successful one must dress the part. To be a leader one must create his own lane and diverge from the common one. As a leader you don’t only represent yourself but an organization, group or culture. ‘Dressing the part’ shouldn’t be an obligation but rather a duty. A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back to the crowd. Fashion promotes individuality and not conforming to society.
I know I’m fulfilling the role when I’m consciously aware that everyone around me is striving for excellence and wants to make a difference not for themselves but for others around them and their community. The gift of inspiring others is a reward within itself. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.’

‘Recently I Studied Abroad In Ghana…’
Story submitted by Danny Dunson

‘I have always appreciated great style, more than fashion and trends. My brother and I combine from art, fashion, and interiors to create a lifestyle brand that focuses on handmade home accessories and interior design called Legacy Brothers.
Recently I studied abroad in Ghana for four months researching art and architecture. My stay in West Africa has influenced me to mix traditional African prints with the classic sartorial menswear. I also found my visit to Ghana to connect me to a part of my own legacy. I come from Alina.
The way I represent myself not only promotes who I am but also represents all of the men of my family. I believe that the way one dresses represents the world that they are a part of. Dressing, or the art of dressing rather, transports one’s mind into their own world that is created by them and allows other people to be a part of that world just by viewing them.’
