Listen "Ep 57: Basic & Tacky: Recession Era Fashion in the Late 2000s"
Episode Synopsis
We're finishing off our three-part journey through the cultural and fashion evolution of the 2000s with a discussion about the end of the decade. In this episode, I talk about the impact of the 2008 financial crisis on fashion trends and luxury, the odd combination of back-to-basics fashion items and flashy, tacky, neon styles, and the strong '80s influence on fashion at the time. And of course, I finish by sharing the late 2000s trends I personally hope to never experience again (tunics over leggings: I'm looking at you).
