Fashion will survive … it always does
DALLAS — What’s in store for spring?
David Wolfe, creative director for the Donegar Group, a trend forecasting company, says fashion is all over the place and people are concerned about the economy. So we take a look at the past and try to decipher the future.
In the 30s, during the Great Depression, fashion was far from depressing. It was bright and bold, more elegant and more luxurious. Expect that for spring.
Ensembles — a total look from head to toe — are coming back. Elegance endures.
Accessories are being played up even more than ever. Women are embracing prints (we all need a little eye candy right now).
During the 1940s and World War II, fashion survived the Blitz and the Occupation. Tailored femininity came into its own, and Wolfe says those are two words we need to remember as we go forward. Clothes that are tailored, practical and timeless.
Of course, there are timelss, feminine clothes today, but most women don’t recognize them in the magazines because they’re being modeled by 12-year-old girls with funny hair and makeup.
Good point.
But, he says, fashion will survive despite a suffering economy and rising food prices. It has before and it will again.
