Danny Chung

“안녕하세요, 저는 필라델피아에서 온 A&R과 작곡을 하는 대니 정이고, 블랙핑크, 소미, 자이언티, CL, 제이팍과 함께 작업했습니다.” “저의 스타일과 정체성은 언제나 힙합과 팝 컬처로부터 영감을 받았습니다.” “제 정체성은 음악과 패션을 통해 형성되었고 이 둘 중 어느 하나를 빼놓고 다른 하나만 생각할 수는 없습니다.” “모든 ‘Pre-Loved’ 아이템은 제가 직접 고르고 또한 저에게 특별한 의미를 지녔던 물건들입니다. 그렇기에 제가 아닌 다른 분들에게 전해져도 계속 특별하게 여겨졌으면 좋겠습니다.” “My name is Danny Chung and I’m a songwriter and A&R from Philadelphia. Music and fashion have shaped who I am and I believe there is not one without the other. I put together outfits much like how I put together songs. Both need to tell a story and make people feel something. I try to make my clothing communicate like the lyrics of a song so when you hear my music or see what I’m wearing, you’ll have a better understanding of who I am. My closet is eclectic in every sense. There’s thrifted pieces I’ve bought for a dollar to high end rare pieces that I’m too embarrassed to say how much I’ve paid for. Most of the basics are black and in all different textures but I make sure I have statement pieces of color to add that pop factor to what could be a boring outfit without that pop. I try to stay away from anything logo heavy and keep things clean without too many graphics at all. My pet peeve in fashion is novelty t-shirts. I don’t believe fashion is supposed to be funny or ironic. One’s fashion makes a statement and being laughed at is not the statement I want to make. My style, and just who I am as a person, has always been heavily inspired by Hiphop and pop culture. This culture made me who I am so I find it my duty to make sure I give credit to where it is due. Everyone from Tupac to Zack Morris to Puff Daddy to 1TYM to Jim Jones to James Dean to ASAP Rocky and countless others have influenced my style and I just do my best to add my own twist to it and do them justice. There are many special pieces in my Pre-Loved closet that were actually hard for me to let go of. Every piece was hand picked and bought by me because it meant something to me at one time or another and they probably still do mean something to me but I just hope that they can continue being special to someone, even if it’s not me.”
