[ddohnggo]

Save your money.

Or spend it all before prices skyrocket.

there will be no more rockets. however, i think that the quality will decline in order to accommodate lower prices. we will have some early sales this season that's for sure.

[xadam]

already feels kind of like that, to be honest. massive selling threads, low funds to buy anything with.

it was fun while it lasted, i will sell everything but my ccp twister seam shirt which i will twist around myself when i'm living in a box by the east river...

How come I still hear Barneys and many other places have sold out some of the Rick Owens, Lanvin pieces? As well, I see that alot of Yoox stuff that I have in my dream box gets snapped up like crazy(casem can voice my opinion too) with high prices.. so the recession is here?? if so, why stuff still gets sold out at such high prices.. *sigh

[philip nod]

Highest of high end goods rarely suffer in a recession. The things between the very top and the very bottom get gutted.

I agree, but I think in this climate it may be better to be a niche store a la Atelier or IF, rather than a big dept. store that caters to a lot of middle class buyers. Speaking of which, I just got fired from my day job (Happy Monday!), so another client down!
