Since the 1980s, the DKNY mural painted on the Houston Street side of 600 Broadway has been an icon of New York fashion advertising. After September 11, 2001, the sign became even more significant to locals for its portrayal of a pre-9/11 NYC skyline.
In early 2008 rumors began surfacing that the mural would be painted over after it was announced that Abercrombie & Fitch would be moving into the ground floor retail space. This morning NY1 reported that a local community board has approved the company’s request to paint over the DKNY logo... I personally can't believe this, and for some shit like Abercrombie would take its place...Awful! It is another step into the gentrification of NYC!!!

That's gross!! Just to show you how the fashion industry is, unfortunately. Empty hearted assholes just looking to make more money. That's a pain.
