This Could Be a Scary Spring... emerging fashion

Thakoon s/s 2009.

As if the looming economic crisis weren’t bad enough, the monetary mayhem is now causing retailers to cut orders by at least 10%-15% for the spring. Even New York flagship stores are lowering their buys by up to 10%, hoping that tourists around the holiday season can help them bounce back. These order cuts can only mean one thing…our favorite designers spring collections will be even harder to get our hands on. Designers like Diane Von Furstenberg, Oscar de la Renta and Thakoon plan on shifting their focus to international markets. Other designers like Doo-Ri Chung plan on cutting back details to lower prices. Now, you won’t exactly go naked this spring, but if you absolutely must have these designs, I suggest you hop a plane to Milan and ransack them for all they’re worth. As for now, the availability for designer fashion come March is looking bleak.
