According to Stefano Gabbana the fashion industry needs some rehabilitation. "I think we all need to sit back and ponder over this anxiety we all have of constantly needing to anticipate," He claims that over the past few years, the fashion system has become "drugged." and WWD wrote that He foresaw a vortex of collections that have shorter and shorter life spans and that are often out of touch with the needs of a consumer increasingly overwhelmed by a crescendo of merchandise and wooed by super-early sales in this tough economy. "If one stops and analyzes the scenario, you ask yourself what’s this mad rush for, for who, for what? Does the average consumer really care?" he asked. Well whether the fashion game needs rehab or more drugs, the coming months will reveal the full extent of the recession.
