  • EP201: Dandism, Elegance As Rebellion

    EP201: Dandism, Elegance As Rebellion
    May 13 2025
    In today’s solo episode, I dive into the world of Dandism its quiet elegance, its loud rebellion, and the cultural significance often overlooked. Inspired by the recent Met Gala, which sadly felt more like a clash than a celebration, I reflect on how Dandism has historically been a form of resistance, a declaration of identity, and a fight for visibility in the world of menswear. Was this tension at the Gala just fashion drama, or is it something deeper perhaps orchestrated by the fashion elite? Have we lost sight of what these men stood for? Let’s explore the roots, the rebellion, and the beauty of Dandism together.
