X-Man-Fashion Lesson For You
I am not sure how long you lived in DR, if at all, but you need a fashion lesson on DR. Fashion is where you live and where you go or travel. Believe it or not, Tommy, Nautica, Ralph Lauren, Guess and Banana Republic are the best selling sportswear in DR among the "high class". Why? Because it is simply sportswear meant for casual wear, which is most of the wear-time in this country. While we wear Versaces, Armanis, Gautiers and Hugo Bosses for evening wear and elegant dinners and events, wearing the same for casual wear is a little too much, unless you want to be kidnapped.
While Tommy sportswear has long been associated with blacks in the United States, it is also one of the best selling labels worldwide, and not just by blacks. Their sales are so big, that the most prestigious magazines have the most expensive ads paid by Tommy. A Tommy shirt goes for $1500 at the Plaza Central store, not quite a fare for the poor. 90% of their sales are in the "jevitos" market and even their sales staff project that image. It is one of the most chic stores in DR, along with Plaza Boleras Guess and Nautica, who have some of the most beautiful girls selling.
Now if you relate Tommy to blacks, you should also do the same for Gucci, Louis Vitton, Ferrari, Cadillac,Mercedes, BMW, Cartier, Rolex and Chinchilla fur coats. It seems to me that those labels above are doing most of their sales in the U.S. among rich blacks, rappers and basketball, baseball players, and drug dealers. There is no one rap video without a Gucci hat, Mercedes SL600 AMG, Ferrari, Jaguar, or Cadillac Jeepeta. Fat Joe shows in his latest video the ultimate chinchilla coat, something reserved for multimillionaires. So fashion nowadays is how you wear clothes and accesories, not who wears them.
