Hussein Suleiman (Daily Paper)

Hussein Suleiman is a visionary at the intersection of fashion and culture, and along with his best friends Jefferson and Abderr - he’s the Co-Founder of Daily Paper. Initially launching as a blog over a decade ago, Daily Paper has organically grown into a global streetwear brand- with flagship locations in Amsterdam, London and now New York. The brand’s unique fusion of African heritage, contemporary style, and attention to detail has garnered a massive following around the world. Their collaborations with the likes of Adidas, European super-club Ajax, Dreamville, Puma, The Van Gogh Museum, Bob Marley’s estate and so many others have contributed to the brand’s growing popularity. Daily Paper has been embraced and worn by a never-ending list of influential figures, including Beyonce, Jay-Z, former First Lady Michelle Obama, Sir Lewis Hamilton, Wizkid, Lupita N’yongo, Naomi Campbell, Lil Baby and so many more. In this conversation, we dive into Hussein’s journey, exploring the rich tapestry of his Somali heritage and upbringing in the Netherlands, as well as some lessons he’s learned as an entrepreneur in the creative world. From humble beginnings to global recognition, Hussein's story is one of faith and unwavering determination - against all odds. -- Hussein: ⁠@huzane @dailypaper Umar: @u_issa⁠⁠ @culturestudy This podcast was produced by David Roberts.
