Recently the New York Times published a story about the growing bike culture in NY. The highlight of this story was the “Glossy Black Dutch Bike”. The photos were taken in Downtown Manhattan. The bike is OK, but I’m really feeling the clothes display in this piece. These are Modern Classic pieces. Yes, I placed modern and classic together!
“This new It object is the glossy black Dutch bicycle, its design unchanged since World War II. Increasingly imported to the United States and starting to be seen on the streets of New York (and in the windows of at least one clothing store), it appears to have everything a good craze needs. That includes a hefty price tag — usually between $1,000 and $2,000 — and a charming back story about how the bikes have been an indispensable part of the picturesque Dutch cityscape for decades.”
