About

Hi Guys, I’m Zakiya

The editor of Dapper Shorty, a website that embraces fashion, inspiration, lifestyle, and the my daily adventures as a fashion stylist.

I started Dapper Shorty in 2018 as a creative outlet working professionally as a fashion stylist. I would typically spend hours talking candidly about my line of work and the outrageous day-to-day stories to my friends family. Until one day some of my model friends naturally suggested that I should start a blog, thus the birth of Dapper Shorty.

Outside if the fashion industry, in my spare time, I genuinely enjoy eating and watching British period dramas on BBC. I‘m also an advent listener of 90s gangsta rap, and the smell of new leather is my weakness.
