Thirty-odd years ago, this neighborhood, now clearly on its way from gruff to posh, was a spectacularly run-down, forgotten corner of Manhattan, a breeding ground for punks and rock poseurs. Into that incubator of stylish rebellion came Maripol, direct from Paris and bearing a valise stuffed with artistic dreams.
