Is Gucci Stylish or Tacky? Yes-10
In one photo from that
time, Dapper Dan stands
outside his store; in the
window is painted "Coming
Soon Dapper Dan's Ladies
and Gentleman Boutique." At the Gucci store, amid
the luxe leather jackets in
late-1980s styles and the
entry-level T-shirts that
simply advertised the
collaboration was a T-shirt with these painted words
faithfully rendered as they
were on the actual window
($550). For this, I am a mark. For
this, I am the mark. That picture is imprinted on my
brain. The confluence of
hip-hop history and fashion
iconography was too much
to resist, and I bought it,
even if Dapper Dan himself would never have used a
cotton this filmy. I sat on
one of the raised G
chaises while I was being
rung up, and wondered
what it meant to be tacky. Gucci 63 Wooster Street, 212-710-8980;
