Though dandyism may be a new word for some, its concept is all too familiar. It’s in our DNA. It’s the epigenetic gene that makes us resilient, community-minded, creative, innovative and free. It’s what we’ve witnessed our foremothers and forefathers practice in order to make a dollar out of 15 cents. It’s the ingredient that birthed zoot suits, Sunday’s best, ghetto fabulousness, and so much more. Call it what you want — dressed to the nines, casket clean, sharp, put together, dripped out, putting that sh*t on — it’s what’s in us that makes what’s on us look so damn good.
