Fashion = Escape

Fashion may be another aspect of society vulnerable to the state of the times, but according to Versace, Galliano and their counterparts, consumers don't care to know that. Galliano expressed this notion well when he proclaimed "we are in a credit crisis, not a creative crisis."

Shoppers and fashion savvy amy be willing to cut down on their spending, but not on their style. For now, fashion is the world's escape.
