Damon Dash Dishes on Margherita Missoni, Life Lessons

This is such a fashion/entertainment industry scenario: you develop intense phone relationships with people in the business, never once seeing their faces, then meet them at a party and exclaim, “So that is what you look like!” That is exactly what happened when I rolled up to Damon Dash at FIT’s Annual All-Star Salute Gala at the Rainbow Room. Damon and I had a brief professional relationship when I worked for RZA and Damon was CEO of Roc-A-Fella Records. Rapper Ol’ Dirty Bastard, RZA’s cousin, was just released from jail and Roc-A-Fella had signed him.  So phone convos between Damon and I ensued, but we never met. At the gala, I gushed about Wu-Tang and the craziness surrounding ODB and arranged to meet him at his office where I could really pick Damon’s brain. In return, I got a huge dose of inspiration and a little window into what magic is really made of. Click READ MORE for more about Damon’s latest endeavor!
