Dante Silver tells the people his name and what he has on, then talks about poetry, culinary arts and the supper club he wants to build.

Dante, from Brooklyn, walks through his outfit. A Yankees hat. A Zara workwear jacket. Doc Martens that turn silver when you scratch them, because, he says, “my last name’s Silver.” He loves his people, culinary arts and poetry. To support him, pull up to the events he plans, a supper club and “family dinner on Sundays.”

His style tip: only buy what you love.
