Boy Meets Girl in the Overgate, was Dundee's first go at a "Unisex" boutique in the early/mid 70's - the concept being to sell gents & ladies clothing from the same shop, rather than from separate stores or departments as it had been up to that time. You can see the window display has both male and female garments mixing with each other.
It's a pity it was a rather short-lived store because despite the place selling all the latest up-to-date gear around, it also had the best shopfront logo on town!

ReplyDeleteThe circular shop sign is so typical of the early 70's - it brings to mind Dave Hill's "Super Yob" guitar design and the "Disco 45" pop magazine logo!
