On Her Marque

Stacey Dash gets intimate with a new line of vintage-inspired lingerie.

It’s not as if Dash is, pardon the pun, clueless about the ins and outs of fashion. Back in the Eighties, she enrolled at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology before dropping out her freshman year to pursue acting. And her clotheshorse mother instilled a sense of style and love of fashion in her emerald-eyed daughter from the very start. “She wore Chloé, a lot of Nina Ricci, Oscar de la Renta,” Dash recalls. “She wore tight leather pants, mesh halters—my mom was hot. And she always took me vintage shopping.” You could say the actress has come full circle. Dash remembers one trip in particular to a store named Norah’s in Bel-Air. She was 12 and rummaging through the shop’s bins. Her final buy: a pair of vintage silk tap pants, which, she notes, “I would wear out with a T-shirt.”
