What are the factors behind the success of the most renowned fashion Medusa, who was supposed to warn against fatal attraction and vanity unique associations? What gives them a sense of uniqueness and differentiates them from the crowd? Graphic designer Milton Glaser said, “A logo is the point of entry to a brand".

Trends can arouse both admiration and confusion but they don’t last forever. They often depend on the context and, although it doesn't sound fair, also on who is wearing them. Find out if logomania is the trend for you.

Gucci:
exclusive or inclusive?

It’s impossible to discuss the logo without mentioning the name that has changed the history of American fashion (and not only that). Dapper Dan was born in Harlem – a neighbourhood of New York full of contrasts and inhabited in large part by Afro-Americans. In 1982, inspired by his own travels, Dapper Dan decided to use his cleverness and tailoring skills to create a store open around the clock that offered custom fashion described by the designer as an “Africanization of the premium European brand”. He turned products with monograms known to fashion fans into unique designs beloved by Black artists, in particular by rising stars of hip-hop. As time went on, he began to recreate the iconic fashion house logo patterns by himself, which caused him legal problems and forced him to close his business in 1992. The somewhat forgotten “bootlegging” designer made headlines LOUIS VUITTON PRESENTS wore a jacket that looked almost exactly like the one Dapper Dan designed for Diane Dixon in the late ‘80s.
