Dapper Dan Issue 04. Edited by Nicholas Georgiou, Vassilis Karidis.

Dapper Dan is a men’s magazine that is interested in inspiration, not novelty; in looking one’s own terms rather than being spoon-fed trends. It is created in Athens, Greece, by an international team and published twice a year, spanning fashion, culture and philosophy through striking photography and thoughtful texts. Eschewing the clichéd rules of men’s magazines, it follows a spirit, not a format. Dapper Dan is for the man who doesn’t feel he should have to be like everybody else.
