People say there is a crisis in the world. Some even try to make future forecasts, expressing at times absurd opinions and assumptions.
We agree: there is a crisis. And to some extent it has affected many fields in our lives. But since Fashion Point talked about fashion business, the question that interests us the most is whether the crisis has affected directly what we write about, namely the fashion world in general and the fashion accessories in particular. This is the main question we would try to answer in this issue. We will find out whether manufacturers and designers perceive the global crisis as a stimulus to development or they are shutting down in panic their manufacture. We will consider how the makers and designers adjust their business strategy and what anti-recessionary solutions they offer to customers.
Let’s look forwards to the end of the year and peruse women's fashion trends for season Fall 2009, cause they have been already formed. And our fashion trend guide will leave you with a much more refined look.
This fall brought an interesting blend of themes and inspiration to the runway. From feather to fur, sky-scraper heels to bohemian boots, strong shoulders with shoulder pads to the slim silhouette – you can choose what you wish.
In general, designers divided into two groups – one of them were direct reactions to the economy and responded by offering “investment dressing”- classic pieces that will last a lifetime, others - brought forward extremely colorful collections, including neon orange, hot pink, cobalt blue, shades of green and yellow and more; purples, teals and deeper blues, cranberries and reds were also used in many fashion shows.
Here’s FPedition invites you to see the top trends from Fashion Week Fall 2009.
