Toxic waste is in fashion this season.
Last week, the clothing chain Anthropologie debuted a V-neck tunic dress dubbed the “Gowanus” — named after the Brooklyn neighborhood whose canal was slapped with a Superfund status in 2010.
The $188 frock is designed by UZI NYC, which is manufactured in Sunset Park.
But it was the store, not designer Mari Gustafson who named it.
When she first saw the moniker, “I thought, ‘We have designed the Superfund-site dress,’” Gustafson told The Post. “This is for when you dress in your crazy mud boots as you are picking industrial waste out of the Gowanus canal.”
Anthropologie, which is owned by the same parent company as Urban Outfitters, kept with a Kings County theme for other items in the UZI NYC spring collection — you can also buy the Park Slope, Ditmas Park and Carroll Gardens dresses. The store did not return a request for comment.
“I thought it was cute that the names they picked were South of Atlantic Avenue. I am a big believer in South Brooklyn,” Gustafson, a Bay Ridge resident, said. “North Brooklyn has been sold to European interests. Real Brooklynites can’t afford to live there.”
