dapperQ is for anyone who wants to make any element of men’s fashion truly their own. It’s for all who have been discouraged — in a million and one subtle and not-so-subtle ways — from gleaning for self-expression from the rich and robust universe pioneered over centuries by dapper gents and today reflected in glossies such as GQ, Details and Vogue for Men.

I am launching this particular conversation now because we believe that is needed now more than ever. It’s not just the fact that designers haven’t yet found a lucrative enough niche in styling dapper clothes for our bodies – be they female, trans or anything not straight up male.
