Deflation Chic: With the feeling of recession lingering in the air this spring of 2002, will fashion become depressed and conservative?
Composite proposes a powerful style that will survive this great depression (called deflation in Japan, or recession in English). It is not the anarchy of old punk, nor the sleazy sleaze of grunge, but a personal, creative style with a do-it-yourself spirit that recognizes quality. Featuring mega brands as well as many up-and-coming designers, it portrays the counter-spirit of spring fashion.
