At his now-legendaryatelier on 125th Street in Harlem, Dapper Dan remixed classic luxury-brand logos into his own designs in the 1980s and dressedthe likes of Eric B. and Rakim, Salt-N-Pepa, Big Daddy Kane, Mike Tyson, LL Cool J, Jam Master Jay, Diddy, Naomi Campbell, and Jay-Z. But before he reinvented haute couture, he was a hungry boy with holes in his shoes, a teen who daringly gambled drug dealers out of their money, and a young man in a prison cell who found nourishment in books. And when he turned his attention to fashion, he did so with the energy and curiosity that he approachesall things, eventually emerging as a world-famous designer whose looks went on to define an era. In this playful, poignant, thrilling, and inspiring account, he tells his story for the first time. A book signing with Dapper Dan will follow the event. Copiesof Dapper Dan: Made in Harlem are available at the Greenlight Bookstore kiosk in the lobby at 15% off. Discount only available on the day of the event. Daniel "Dapper Dan" Day's work has been displayed at the Smithsonian Institution, the Museum at FIT, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Museum of the City of New York, and London's Design Museum. His eponymous boutique was open from 1982 to 1992, and reopenedin 2017 in a major partnership with Gucci.

  • Taking Intellectual Property Into Their Own Hands
    Taking Intellectual Property into Their Own Hands Amy Adler* & Jeanne C. Fromer** When we think about people seeking relief for infringement of their intellectual property rights under copyright and trademark laws, we typically assume they will operate within an overtly legal scheme. By contrast, creators of works that lie outside the subject matter, or at least outside the heartland, of intellectual property law often remedy copying of their works by asserting extralegal norms within their own tight-knit communities. In recent years, however, there has been a growing third category of relief-seekers: those taking intellectual property into their own hands, seeking relief outside the legal system for copying of works that fall well within the heartland of copyright or trademark laws, such as visual art, music, and fashion. They exercise intellectual property self-help in a constellation of ways. Most frequently, they use shaming, principally through social media or a similar platform, to call out perceived misappropriations. Other times, they reappropriate perceived misappropriations, therein generating new creative works. This Article identifies, illustrates, and analyzes this phenomenon using a diverse array of recent examples. Aggrieved creators can use self-help of the sorts we describe to accomplish much of what they hope to derive from successful infringement litigation: collect monetary damages, stop the appropriation, insist on attribution of their work, and correct potential misattributions of a misappropriation. We evaluate the benefits and demerits of intellectual property self-help as compared with more traditional intellectual property enforcement.

Contact: [email protected] Mask On: How Fashion Erased the Politics of Streetwear in 2017 By Frances Sola-Santiago Hip-hop culture dominated the fashion zeitgeist in 2017. From a Louis Vuitton and Supreme collaboration to Gucci’s support of Harlem designer Dapper Dan’s store reopening, the fashion industry welcomed Black culture into the highest echelons of high fashion. Rapper Cardi B became the darling of New York Fashion Week in September after being rejected by designers throughout most of her career. Marc Jacobs traded the runway for the street, staging a show that included bucket hats, oversized jackets, and loads of corduroy on a large number of models of color. But while the industry appeared to diversify by acknowledging the indomitable force of hip-hop culture, it truly didn’t. The politics of hip-hop and Black culture were left out of the conversation and the players behind-the-scenes remained a homogeneous mass of privileged white Westerners. Nearly every high fashion brand this year capitalized on streetwear— a style of clothing born out of hip-hop culture in marginalized neighborhoods of New York City and Los Angeles, and none recognized the historical, cultural, and political heritage that made streetwear a worldwide phenomenon, symbolizing power and cool.

Themes: ● 70s and 80s ○ Police Brutality in the United States and the Black Panther Party ■ How did “self-actualization”and police brutality inspire groups like the Black Panther Party to build the foundation for the birth of hip-hop and streetwear fashion? ○ Graffiti and Social Movements ■ How did black and brown communities respond to continued police brutality and poverty globally? What art was produced as a response to these grievances while also building community? ■ How did graffiti play a role in advancing the hip-hop movement? ● 90s ○ Michael Jordan and Sneakers ■ Jordans quickly became incorporated into streetwear, so they were always in high demand. Because Jordans were vastly consumed by Black people, Jordans quickly became associated with crime and violence. ● Spike Lee commercial ○ Streetwear, Urbanwear and Luxury Brands ■ Luxury Designers, and NY Fashion week had a disdain for urban fashion. Not only was the word “urban” synonymous to “ghetto”, but this label was used to exclude black designers, and people from big media platforms, fashion shows and stores.

Naturally reflection is in order and we did that in several ways. We held a Property Owner’s Think Tank where we reviewed achievements, what we want to let go, what we want to continue to pursue from an investor point of view, and examined new projects to add. We looked at existing BID resources. We analyzed data prepared by the BID staff that showed the growth in assessed values, the trends in pedestrian counts, and the impact of exempt vs. taxable properties. We discussed existing database platforms and ways to leverage strategic partners as we continue our journey. Recognizing that development activity is taking place on 125th Street, we examined what is happening with development above retail spaces; how to mitigate construction impacts, what will it take to activate development across 125th street and why are private developers not taking advantage of the cultural bonus that was put into place in 2008 with the re-zoning of 125th Street.

  • Anthony Lopez
    CUSTOMIZED SHOES: A HIP-HOP STAPLE AND A REBELLIOUS FASHION ANTHONY LOPEZ COMMENTARY: AMIT BARIA RESPONSE: ANTHONY LOPEZ In our society today, pursuits to conform or adjust to the ever-altering trends that dictate the fashion landscape are priorities for any fashion or pop-culture connoisseur. For better or for worse, the fate of consumer America is predicated on the domineering shadow of adolescent acquisition, and even more on producers capitalizing off the individuality that consumers hope to achieve. In hip-hop culture, where lavishness and extreme excess is a requirement at times, designer and name-brand fashions have found a niche in the urban ethos catalog. Throughout its rich and relatively young history, hip-hop’s standard dress has undergone many modifications. However, one of the most essential and enduring hip-hop staples has been footwear. According to Rebecca Arnold’s Fashion, Desire and Anxiety: Image and Morality in the Twentieth Century, the cultures of feet and fashion have been negotiating for years, footwear first appearing as a necessary accessory during the 1980s when groups like Run-DMC made songs such as “My Adidas” to promote their undying love for “kicks” (Arnold 40). Fast-forward to 2002, and the marriage between shoes and hip-hop is still very much evident. Popular brands such as Nike, Reebok, and the ubiquitous Jordan brand are some of the most widely consumed and hip-hop endorsed products on the market. However, as of last year, a new phenomenon has taken the urban shoe market by storm, and reinvented the image of what it means to be “ghetto fabulous.” The phenomenon we are speaking of, my friends, is the personalized shoe.

  • Poets and Thugs
    Poets and Thugs by Silvia Bombardini Frank Ocean at Panorama Music Festival on July 28, 2017 “This dark diction has become America's addiction / Those who ain't even black use it”. This is how a spoken word poem read by Malik Yusef puts it, at the end of Kanye West’s song Crack Music. But it’s not just America’s, it’s the whole world’s. From its humble beginnings in the post-industrial South Bronx of 1973, hip- hop culture and its dark diction, rap music, have spread to all continents and reach further still. “Just about every country on the planet seems to have developed its own local rap scene” wrote National Geographic back in 2002. In the New York of the 70s rap was the voice of side-lined communities, of the city’s Black and Latino youth. Literally so: some say that hip hop’s distinctive vernacular began as a wilful rejection of the racial hierarchy of language, which held the English spoken by whites as a superior form of cultured speech. But minorities and disaffected youth in need of a voice are found throughout the world, and ever more of them find one in rap to speak out against racism or vocalise their dreams. That hip hop was always supple enough to welcome foreign stimuli and adapt to localised conditions is arguably what made its fortune as a global movement, spawning a multitude of regional subgenres. It is also what allowed rap music to survive and thrive in the age of the web and peer-to-peer file sharing.
