Danny Nappi Clothing Danny Nappi Clothing Designer nappiclothing.com - Friday, July 16, 2010 By Alexis Hill Danny Nappi Clothing is not something that just happened to happen overnight, in fact it wasn’t even a dream much before it was a reality. This intuitive design company happened more by chance then by choice, not to say that Mr. Nappi himself hasn’t worked hard for it, he has; however, clothing design has not always been his first love. Danny grew up in Utah with a passion for racing, cars, and speed. Fashion was never necessarily something that interested him. He’d always liked to be different, thus altering his clothes to fit him and his unique style. It wasn’t until others kept asking where they could get his clothing that he realized it could be made into a business. A business that was chuck full of ups and downs, in and outs; yet, his perseverance has paid off. A big part of his desire to sew came from the hopeful recreation of a quilt his mother had made. When Danny moved out, the quilt stayed and he missed it. His mother would not hand it over, so Danny figured he’d one-up her and make his own. The quilt was made of denim, much like his jeans. Nappi jeans are unlike any other. Danny personally perfected the fit. He isn’t some head honcho sitting behind a desk instructing others. He IS the brand. He is as involved in the planning and designing as he can possibly be. This business is raw and perhaps imperfect, but it has that simple touch that makes in unlike any other. He cares. It’s not just about making money, it is truly something he is passionate about and that is what sets this brand apart from any other. Danny’s successes may come in far and few between, yet he has had some pretty spectacular moments in his career. Several of his pieces have been used on television shows like CSI. Former ‘N Syncer, Lance Bass, is a huge fan of the jeans. Many of Danny’s pieces have been featured in fashion week, yet one of his biggest accomplishments is something more local. Danny had the honor of designing David Archuleta’s clothing for his tour. Nappi Clothing is finally starting to make its mark on the industry. Danny finds the best moments of his career to be meeting people who just love wearing his clothes. It is something not many people get to experience in this lifetime, pure appreciation. Danny Nappi is still working hard to make his name be known, he knows his clothing can make an impact. For all Utahans, Danny is a great inspiration that life is bigger than just these Rocky Mountain walls.
