New York Times Best Seller, Dapper Dan: Made in Harlem Book is a memoir of Daniel R. Day.

With his now-legendary store on Lenox Ave near 125th Street in Harlem, Dapper Dan pioneered high-end streetwear in the early 1980s, remixing classic luxury-brand logos into his own flamboyant designs. But before reinventing fashion, he was a hungry boy with holes in his shoes, a teen who daringly gambled drug dealers out of their money, a young man in a prison cell who found nourishment in books, and, finally, a designer who broke barriers to outfit a whos-who of music, sport, and crime-world celebrities in looks that went on to define an era.

Langston Luxury Candle

The Langston Luxury Candle by Harlem Candle Company mixes elements of the jazz poet’s creative vision with fragrance symbolic of his life. The worn vintage leather of his favorite armchair, aromatic tobacco laced with a hint of clove and vanilla from the pipes of the neighborhood men, and the smell of ambery incense recalls his many visits to churches in Mexico. A dramatic heart of heady jasmine and a warm background of resinous sandalwood round out this deeply personal blend that perfectly evokes Langston Hughes, a true Renaissance man.
