Jon, there was a discussion about this maybe a month or 2 ago, and that's exactly what I said, I live and go to school here in Miami, and if you want to know about fashion, this is the place to be. I wouldn't ask Golo advice for clothing unless I was in need of a new pair of fila's. Yeah I still remember seeing the thread, I think I posted something there too. I dunno about the Fila's thing, man, they still get play in Europe where most fashion comes from anyways......Jay-Z had some Fila jacket or sweater in the liner note pictures of The Blueprint 2 album. Jay-Z is considered the biggest promoter of high-class fashions in the hip-hop world(after Puffy, of course), besides he has his own clothing label.....yeah I wouldn't take anyone's advice on shopping from this board, I'm alright regardless of me being here or in DR. Over there Diesel gets play like it's the last Coke in the desert, over here its just another brand name, Facconable also gets too much love in DR, but then again I don't mind seeing the stretch jeans on those girls down there, pantalones "chicle".......its always a good thing unless the girl's too big

Eve (a.k.a. Evie E, the first lady of Ruff Ryders, a pit bull in a skirt) is THE high fashion arbiter of hip hop. Jay-Z knows how to take Beyoncé's advice but even Lil Romeo has better stylists.

Dominican content: none of these artists are scheduled to appear in the country at this time.

First define what upscale means to you. There is a Zara, Mango, Naf-Naf, Lab, Benetton in those malls plus some smaller boutiques but nothing I would call upscale.

[LxtdK9i4]

[megasprut]

If you check out a site called Uepa.com they show pics from when P. Diddy was down in DR a few months ago, just do a search for his name and he sure as can be, was there.......I dunno about Romeo being more stylish than Jay, if it wasn't for Jay high fashion wouldn't be as big as it is in rap nowadays......I've got some info from some Ruff Rydin' friends that Eve wanted to go down there for a vacation, they promote for Ruff Ryders and they asked DMX if he wanted to go to DR and do a concert and just chill for a week or two........just some insider stuff

Plaza Bolera also has some nice stores, like Façonable.

Casa Virginia also has some designer clothes and there is a Hugo Boss store in the small plaza next to Plaza Bolera.

Also, what some stores do is that they bring in the occasional Versace, Armani, whatever tickles their fancy. I don't know where you can go nowadays since its been a while for me since I was there but try looking around in the malls I mentioned in my other post Jon, there was a discussion about this maybe a month or 2 ago, and that's exactly what I said, I live and go to school here in Miami, and if you want to know about fashion, this is the place to be.

Go to Bella Vista Mall down on Sarasota Ave, Acropolis Plaza on Winston Churchill Ave.....lemme think.....sorry thats what crossed my mind for now. And to think, I haven't been to DR since those malls were still being built! Its good to have people you know down there

[gMUVgw71]

Easy to have your clothes "Made To Order" here!You pick style,colors,fabric,tailor,and away you go!My wife goes to a woman in Arroyo Hondo who makes almost all her clothes except "jeans". It probably costs less than shopping at "Diamond Mall",and/or "Plaza Central".She never sees another woman wearing the same dress!CRIS

[TeveVikep]

There is Tommy Hilfger and Oscar de la Renta at Plaza Central if they are considered upscale. If you look in the sociales of the newspapers about the high rollers in the dr and their upscale clothes sometimes it will say where they got their clothes.

[zbckFNlW]

Golo would be the Dominican I would ask about upscale in the DR also. Finally we agree on something

Take a look in Acropolis, also you will find them located
between the 5-6 blocks which make up "little Manhattan" here.
You will find Boss, Armani, Ungaro, Valentino etc etc.
Plus local designer labels have small outlets located in this area.

The prices are high and the selection low. This is not Manhattan... That where you get all your designer bluejeans? LOL

[cigsstorenick]

Eve, DMX, Lil Romeo....Stylish? How CHOPO is that?
