The Dapifer was an independent fashion magazine that focused on editorial photography, fashion industry news, art, and street wear. It was founded by Lakenya Kelly during his undergraduate studies at Cornell University in 2010.[1] Initially a small streetwear blog, it released its first print issue in October 2011, and maintained a limited print release schedule for future issues. The Dapifer was owned by Kelly, its founder and editor-in-chief.[1]
Contributors[edit]
The fashion media platform collaborated with various brands and agencies, including Ford Models, Wilhelmina Models, New York Models, Alexander McQueen, Saint Laurent, and La Jolla Fashion Film Festival. The Dapifer also collaborated with contemporary visual artists, such as Brooklyn painter Michael Alan. In July 2016, Kelly was appointed as a judge at La Jolla Fashion Film Festival.[2]
Online Platforms[edit]
In 2016, The Dapifer transitioned its operations to digital publishing. The publication introduced iOS and Android apps to facilitate mobile access to its digital content, both of which have since been removed.[3]
In 2016, The Dapifer launched an online networking platform also known as The Dapifer. This platform served as a career resource for professionals in the fields of photography, modeling, styling, and creative arts. It was designed to facilitate networking and career development.
