The Latest Fashion Trends
Amongst the new designs presented at Paris Fashion Week, one theme stood out: an emphasis on the unconventional. Check out these new pieces from designers that stray from the repetitive designs fashion has shifted into.
Paris Fashion Week showed both new, unseen designs, and others that took inspiration from the past. Designers such as Vivienne Westwood and Valentino returned to older, more classic silhouettes in their fall/winter collections.
The (Fashion?) Economic Report
In the March meeting, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) decided to keep interest rates steady at 4.5%. They are also expecting the economic growth the US has been experiencing to slow in the light of the new policies the US will be granted by the Trump administration.
As the Trump administration’s tariffs are put in place, the economy has been reacting accordingly. Inflation has been skyrocketing, as brands scramble to adjust their supply chain locations to avoid heavier tariffs.
Major firms have lowered their predictions of economic growth for the US by a large amount. Goldman Sachs estimates that the US economy will only grow by 0.5% over the next year, a number that is more than 2% smaller than the growth experienced during the previous year.
