In light of the current economic crisis, shoppers are putting luxury on hold as they learn to live within their means, thanks to the help of fashion website Stylehog.com.
Stylehog.com: Runway Fashion on a Budget
(1888PressRelease) October 20, 2008 - Stylehog.com, a Canadian fashion ezine focusing on affordable fashion, is helping North American women survive the latest financial crisis with their style intact.
In times of economic slowdown, one of the first non-essential items to be sacrificed is luxury fashion. Shoppers are thinking twice before spending $695 on a pair of Christian Louboutin pumps and are more interested in finding affordable ways of updating their wardrobes.
Julia Seidl, founder of Stylehog.com, says now more than ever consumers are looking for alternative ways of maintaining a luxury lifestyle (or at least the appearance of one), without footing the bill.
"At Stylehog.com, we show readers how to replicate the latest fashion trends but at prices that are manageable for every shopper's budget. The idea of runway looks for less is extremely appealing, especially now as shoppers are struggling to live within a strained economy. Consumers are learning to live within their means without sacrificing their personal appearance," says Seidl.
Just as lipstick sales continue to be an indicator of an economic slowdown (Leonard Lauder's theory that women who are feeling less certain about their economic future will still purchase lipstick as a mini-indulgence), affordable fashion alternatives allow women to feel that euphoric high that accompanies a trip to the mall, without having to fear their monthly credit card statement.
"No matter what the economic climate, women still want to stay in tune with the latest fashion trends. Stylehog.com not only shows readers what is being seen on the runways of Paris and New York," Seidl continues, "but also provides links to retailers that carry similar trends at prices that won't lead to buyer's remorse."
Stylehog.com, is an online fashion magazine that highlights the latest fashion trends straight from the runways of Paris, New York, London & Milan and provides readers with direct links to North American retailers offering similar trends but at wallet-friendly prices. Stylehog.com gives readers the ability to shop from the pages of their favorite fashion magazine without having to think twice about the price.
Based out of Toronto, Ontario, Stylehog.com features both chain and independent retailers that offer delivery within the U.S.A and/or Canada.
