DP was established by Daniel Poole, and the brand was popular in Europe and Japan starting from the 90s. From all the parties whether big or small, nightclubs and discotheques, select ships and the streets, DP were everywhere. After year 2000, DP decided to put clothing on hold, return to family life and engaged in interior design. After 16 years, Daniel Poole senses the people in Europe started to dress in similar styles and streetwear was becoming boring, so he desired to reactivate DP in order to install freshness back in the still water of streetwear market.
After reactivating the brand, PRETTYNICE and Wavey Garms based in London almost reached out to DP at the same time, hoping to work together and carry on the legacy of DP. Daniel Poole was still leading DP independently. After discussing with the director of Wavey Garms, Andres Branco, Daniel Poole decided to fly to Taipei in order to explore the possibilities of collaborating with the PRETTYNICE team.
Andres Branco from Wavey Grams is the prominent figure in London street culture. He is in charge of a known vintage shop, and has been planning numerous important parties in the underground. As the head creative of his team, Andres Branco was highly praised and recognized by the industry, and he is involved in many special projects of well-known brands. For example, he was the casting and style director of Nike Air Max Plus III 20th anniversary, and he was also the model for The North Face and The Face Magazine collaborative project.
With the help of Daniel Poole and Andres Branco, PRETTYNICE was able to see the holy grails of classic DP Archives and gained a deeper understanding of the cultural context of DP. After discussions and revisions, PRETTYNICE was able to craft what they do best with graphic designs and intricate clothing accessories and re-release many DP classic clothing items with a new twist. Finally, PRETTYNICE was able to proudly present DPPN-World Sound Systems in collaboration with DP.
