Will this long credit crunch continue to affect the fashion industry? It seems that people are prepared to give up their nights on the town and choose to purchase fashion gear instead. People want to look their best to make it seem they are not affected by the downturn. People are also choosing to purchase fashion gear over music which has resulted in music stores finding it increasingly difficult to survive. Will we be able to continue purchasing these luxury items if the credit crunch continues or will they be another sacrifice we have to make.
