The Great Depression Redux: Spring 2009


With the slumping economy and worsening global market, the words “recession”, "crash", and “depression” are words we hear all too often. Appropriately, style.com has coined the term “depression-chic” for the 1920’s-inspired looks we saw on the Fashion Week runways.
