Okay, this is the look covered in this month’s issue of The Elliott Wave Financial Forecast. It’s definitely not an overnight transition as the fashion elite have been pushing toward more covered and ghostly styles for some time.

"Oversized tops and skinny bottoms" remind us of the stock market, which always seems to have two tiers, one that’s rising, currently the Dow and S&P, and one that just can’t keep up, the Transports and small-caps. The implications of this disharmony, in fashion and stocks, is covered in today’s issue. |
