In an era when Los Angeles' entertainment and fashion scenes were redefining themselves, a pivotal collaboration emerged between the late great DapperAfrika and myself fresh out of film school. This photoshoot, featuring the stunning supermodel Nyad Deng, whose presence epitomized elegance and strength, would serve as one of many shoots by myself & Dapper. DapperAfrika's visionary eye brought to life an original aesthetic that seamlessly merged the ancestral Afrikan style with a contemporary twist.This shoot not only paid homage to a distinct cultural narrative but also set standard for creative direction in a dynamic industry, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of fashion.
