The Come Up vol. 2: Isaiah


"Style is the essence of all that we are, and it's how we inaudibly
express ourselves"



AGW: For everyone who isn't following you on Twitter or a fan of yours on LOOKBOOK, who are you?

Isaiah: I am an aspiring fashion designer. I blog at http://www.dapperdakon.com/, and I have much more life ahead of me. Hopefully one you will witness.


AGW: Do you have your own line?

Isaiah: I did when I was younger. It was a t-shirt label. It was going well but, you have to dedicate to those type of things, full dedication. I couldn't juggle a "clothing" line, school, and a job. I had to focus on my career first.


AGW: With #2010 here, what are some goals you have?






Isaiah: Design more creatively. Establish everything I have accomplished. Get my blog more publicity, learn more from what I am doing, learn about every aspect, and to become far more observant than I have ever been.











AGW: What's a summary of your style?



Isaiah: Style is one's true personality portrayed through their personification their attire. Style is the essence of all that we are, and it's how we inaudibly express ourselves.


AGW: What inspires you?
Isaiah: People, everyday life, music, the ugliest of things, and the things other people find weird or ordinary.

AGW: Among fashion designing, what are some of you other passions or hobbies?

Isaiah: Shopping, watching a great movie, listening to a record, finding a new clothing line or new music, and I also love art and, to read, when I can.


AGW: What are some of the up about being a #COMEUP fashion designer?

Isaiah: Publicity, encouragement, and support.


AGW: Downs?

Isaiah: Expectations.


AGW: Who are your favorite fashion designers?
Isaiah: This would be a long list, If I was to keep it honest, so I will keep it short. Seasons change and so do designs and designers. So, as of late: Lanvin, YSL, Moschino, Proenza, Schouler, DSQUARED2, Commes Des Garcons and Junya Wantanabe.



AGW: What are your favorite clothing lines?

Isaiah: Uniqlo, Shades of Greige, Maharishi, Zara, and ASOS.


AGW: What's "IN" right now?

Isaiah: For women, unfortunately Leggings. They are overrated and overused. For a gentlemen, skinnies and a pair of dessert boots. Also, anything Vintage, that's always trendy.



AGW: Any #SHOUTOUTS

Isaiah: Hello World.
