Do you think the fashion industries are losing its status quo due to the economy?

Status quo wise yes they are. A lot of the big fashion houses that insisted they would NEVER create a low-brow brand from their main, have done so. Marc Jacobs,Versace etc.Roberto Cavalli - Just CavalliA lot of these houses are also working with places like Target and H&M-Lanvin (something they never would've done if not for the sinking economy).

These places are losing money big time. Cheap-o brands like forever21 and h&m are winning in this economy.

No I'm sure they'll create something new and unneccessary for people to spend on.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
