Depression Chic: Style Trend Reports Spring 2009
Who needs economists? With an insight that’s downright uncanny, designers worked both sides of the crash of 1929, turning out glittery flapper frocks (Alberta Ferretti, Aquilano.Rimondi) and faded sack dresses (Burberry, Bottega Veneta) in equal measure. On the one hand, Jil Sander’s Raf Simons fringed not just dresses but suits, too; on the other, Marc Jacobs found himself at home on the prairie.
This is the trend I’m most excited about this Spring. Why? Oh, because it’s already in my closet. My mother says I look like a bag lady. I always called it “Homeless Chic.” Style.com just published it before I did. ; )
