It’s the worst hit inflation ever globally. On the wake of the steeping financial abyss, a cool style funda is zooming into the art of living. Call it fashion frugalist! Creating fashion accessories out of the rubbish is now a craze. Topping the list is tailor made bags out of tattered rags. Second hand things are hugely making a comeback. The celeb brigade is the first to dig their luck. Farming, pot-planting, cloth swapping, pig-feeding, everything is just too cool.

It’s always a trend when the top-shot juggernauts flaunt it. Trendsetters, role model, call it what you may, the commoners and the mass celebrity fan followers are doing just the same. They are finally falling into the shoes of the high-street characters.

The retail chains in US shares a very gloomy forecast. What is more shocking is that there will be no holiday parties during the year end and this is definitely going to kick off a devastating slow down in the clothing industry. However the big names from the film fraternity are joining noble causes – cloth swapping for charity.

Among the A-listers of the Hollywood brigade, actress Lindsay Lohan is swapping clothes at the Visa Swap Event in London. Other names include Kylie Minogue, Helena Bonham Carter and Naomi Campbell.
