1. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Andrew, style consultant – on dandyism:
“The truest part of dandyism is to be able to show your authenticity at the highest level with the highest respect for the spaces that you find yourself in. So, that person who can do that is going to do so in detail; they’re going to so in fit and in the construction of garment. They’re going to do so in the things that a lot of other people may not even recognize, but will always experience. And to me, that’s what a dandy is.”

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Henry Adams, cultural and architectural historian – on being a dandy:
“It’s everywhere in the Black community, the notion of what a ‘dandy’ is. And so, they may or not have known the term dandy, but they certainly know of and know personally plenty of dandies right in their own family or their own block or neighborhood.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Guy Wood, Harlem Haberdashery co-owner/entrepreneur – on being a dandy:
“You work with what you have. So, it doesn’t matter if you head-to-toe Gucci, head-to-toe Versace, that’s a cheat code. That just means you have a lot of money. The guy who has no money has to go in that store and figure out an outfit with $200 – that’s the dandy.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Henry Adams, cultural and architectural historian – on being a dandy:
“People should be true to themselves. People should find their truth and aspire to look like themselves. And part of the thing that made me rebel against looking like ‘Superfly’ or Shaft, was I didn’t want to look like everybody else.”

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Guy Wood, Harlem Haberdashery co-owner/entrepreneur – on confidence:
“That’s what dandy is, is what you feel to put it together and be confident in what you wear. I love to see people with bold statements. I don’t care how far out it is because at the end of the day, it’s you. If you confident enough to do it, I look at it and say, ‘Oh, that’s dope.’”

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Andrew, style consultant – on dandy statement items:
“We have the opportunity be dandies every day, and I would challenge or would encourage all of us, especially as Black people, to remember our history, to remember that we used to throw on our Sunday’s best, not for any racial angst because we wanted to be our best. We wanted to show up as the best versions of ourselves.”
