Criza din lumea financiara continua. Se spune ca Romania nu a ajuns inca la limita de jos a colapsului. Piata de fashion insa nu renunta atat de usor. De fapt, contraataca. Si aduce branduri noi care sa castige lupta cu criza. Este probabil ca marile case de moda sa intarzie sa se gandeasca la debutul pe o piata ca Romania din cauza crizei economice. Tocmai de aceea exista un potential neexploatat suficient pentru brandurile care si-au fixat ca target consumatorii cu venituri peste medie care tocmai din cauza vremurilor vitrege ezita sa investeasca in produse de brand Sursa: Ziarul Financiar Sensiblu vinde in malluri creme si ceaiuri cat medicamenteReteaua de farmacii Sensiblu, liderul din retailul farmaceutic din Romania, inregistreaza vanzari de pana la 50% pentru produsele nonfarma din portofoliu in unitatile situate in galeriile centrelor comerciale, in conditiile in care ponderea medie a acestui tip de produse la nivelul retelei este de 20%.

Style Icon pe internetThe web has given rise to a new breed of fashion guru. You no longer have to be a celebrity or model – just a fashion enthusiast happy to put yourself on the line, online. Kelly Bowerbank picks out 10 of 2009's cyber sages. The blogosphere is swamped with wannabe e-cons – bubble heads with their bottoms out all desperate to enlighten us sartorially. So how do you know who is worth a glance? Our list includes some of the most influential, popular and interesting style bloggers of 2009, starting with the well-established – Alix Bancourt of The Cherry Blossom Girl website, who has a loyal global following – and ending with Elizabeth Ammerson, a relative newbie to the style blogging scene (in fact, she's practically unknown and doesn't post too often, but she's definitely one to watch).

But it is Patrick Li’s peculiar job, as an art director and graphic designer for some of the hottest new clothing designers in the business, to articulate their vision in the single nanosecond it takes to look at the name on the label of a dress or a T-shirt. His medium, if you could describe it as such, is logos, hangtags and shopping bags, the kind of things that subtly, but instantly, tell you if a designer brand is modern, fastidious, industrial, urban, preppy or just plain out of your league.
