The vintage dandy shaking up Goodwood

by Hannah Rogers | 2024

Say “era” to most millennials and they will think of a Taylor Swift album, but in Dandy Wellington’s world it is the Jazz Age, and it never went out of style. Pass him on the street and you might assume, from his glamorous attire, that he was in period costume. He’d say he doesn’t need an excuse to dress up.

THE MAN FLYING THE FLAG FOR VINTAGE STYLE NOT VINTAGE VALUES

by JENNIFER BARTON | 2022

Dandy Wellington is a jack of all trades – and the best-dressed one for miles around. The Harlem, New York-based bandleader, producer, performer, style activis, and Goodwood Revival's very own Best Dressed judge, is known for his dapper style, a voice as ‘smooth as molasses’ (according to his friend and fellow vintage lover, Hill House Vintage’s Paula Sutton), and an approach to vintage that embodies the mantra, #VintageStyleNOTVintageValues.

Meet the Vintage Menswear Aficionado Who Can Teach You How to Nail Your Personal Style

by Courtney Lichterman | 2021

What modern style aficionado hasn’t admired the graceful curves of a 1920s spectator shoe or the ramrod-straight shoulders of a 1940s dinner jacket and lamented that their generation had sartorially missed out? Instead of bemoaning that fact, musician, event producer and self-described “style activist,” Dandy Wellington has decided to make the past come to him, dressing exclusively in vintage clothing, whether at the dancehall or the dentist.

Dandy Wellington: ‘Life Is an Occasion

by Brian Sheridan | 2018

William Shakespeare once famously asked “What’s in a name?” That line from Romeo and Juliet could be asked of Dandy Wellington, a Harlem-based bandleader, singer, songwriter, and choreographer because, in his case, his name is everything.
