What most infuriates the front-row naysayers, of course, is that Giannini's style is working: in 2005 and 2006, Gucci reported 18.4% and 16.8% growth, respectively. In 2007, it reported an 11% increase...
...people might think. Either way, creating such melodrama around a simple choice of wardrobe actually perpetuates Harvard’s reputation for self-obsession and arrogance instead of diminishing it. In reality, a Harvard hoodie signifies only two things about the wearer: she attends Harvard and intends to keep warm. Some steer clear of the Coop’s apparel section because their relationship with Harvard isn’t as simple as a “Go Crimson!” headband would imply. Few undergrads I’ve spoken with gave a “yes?...
