The CFDA will honor Dapper Dan with the Geoffrey Beene lifetime achievement award, making him the first designer without a fashion show to ever win the honor. The 77-year-old Harlem, New York native thanked the streets of Harlem in an Instagram post in September when he heard he would be receiving the award. “Isn’t it ironic how the fashion world says that Dapper Dan won the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award, without ever having a runway show?” he wrote. “The streets of Harlem have been my runway for 35 years. Isn’t that where the major luxury brands got their inspiration from? Maybe logo-mania is an illusion. Thank you Harlem, I love you!” We at The Source congratulate them both on their well-deserved award.
