Runways reflecting the times at NYFW

New York - Day 3 of New York Fashion Week rolled along, with shows from Jill Stuart, Herve Leger, Monique Lhuillier, and Francesca Liberatore just to name a few. While the public often focuses on the glamour of the clothes, it's important to remember what else clothes can tell us about the rest of the world. During the peak of the Great Recession from 2007 to 2008, designers were going very minimalist on the runway with lots of neutrals and dark colors to ensure that they would product that sold.
