Although its main focus lies on questions of fashion, it doesn’t really make sense to call Dapper Dan a “fashion magazine”. It’s rather a magazine that according to its publishers was created for an unconventional and bohemian type of man, for guys that don’t really care for the latest trends and instead search for things with “substance”. And although (especially as someone who lives in Berlin-Kreuzberg) I believe that this way of thinking is itself part of a bigger trend, Dapper Dan is one of the most beautifully designed and exciting magazines you can get at train station kiosks at the moment. The first issue SS2010 came out around two months ago and it features, amongst other stuff, interviews with Damir Doma, Lucas Ossendrijver and Jürgen Teller. I just hope these guys don’t run out of money before they are able to print the second issue. Check out Dapper Dan’s website or the nice blog of editor and photographer Vassilis Karidis for a little preview of issue #1. I also posted three of Karidis’ pictures of his Damir Doma shoot for the magazine below.
