Fashion’s dialogue with the economy reveals a paradox. Recession-inspired minimalism.. whether muted dresses, versatile genderfluid pieces, or practical accessories all signal a collective desire to simplify. Yet it is still consumerism, rebranded. Fashion reflects our anxieties, manipulates them into trends, and convinces us that even during hardship, style is worth the investment. In this way, fashion does not just mirror the economy; it becomes a tool to navigate and endure it.
