this is an interesting topic, but I fear that people will embrace indie designers for all the wrong reasons just as they embraced big names in prosperous times for all the wrong reasons. Buy clothes and bags and accessories because you love them, not because you want to be perceived as being “in touch” and “young,” or you want to convey that you’re not spending in an uncouth way on luxe labels.

i dont think the luxury consumer will ever lose its core customer. But even this economic slump is effecting the rich, because it’s the stock market going down and with the Madoff scam too.

I would like to see the midmarket brands become more popular.

Thanks for the post. This is really interesting. It seems like independent artists in music, fashion, and beyond are getting more notice these days.

fascinating post! i’m glad more indie designers will get attention over some more well known lux brands. the mega-brands may feel a pinch with lower sales due to the economy but they probably won’t lose their core customers. Indie designers will have a tougher time in a difficult economy, so its great for them to get the spotlight and more customers. Also, maybe it will foster less of a uniform ‘look’ and encourage people to cultivate a truly individual style.

It really is an interesting time for this. I recently posted an article in a similar vein, looking at the effect of imitation products on designer goods. After reading this article, I think I'll have to study the economics of it a little more, fascinating stuff.
