In The Black

20london-450.jpgFashion trade mag Women's Wear Daily is not really known for gazing reflectively upon the fashion industry in general, but today they've got a poll up asking whether or not making a profit ruins fashion's artistic streak. It's a question worth asking, but an article in today's New York Times argues that money has not spoiled London Fashion Week -- in fact, an influx of cash has made it better, allowing designers more creativity. Of course we'll wait and see how those same hot British designers, such as Giles Deacon (his dress, pictured), are doing in a few years. Being in the black may not seem like a stylish concern -- business-wise, anyway -- but it does mean you can do more than when a fashion line is operating in the red. [photo via the New York Times]
