From Circuit City liquidation and the oil situation to the automobile industry, the economic outlook is stark and gloomy. And this gloom is starting to affect the fashion industry and art as well.
“A Gallon of Gas” is a fashion editorial in Fantasticsmag that reflects on the current economical crisis.
The editorial illustrates that “There’s no more left to buy or sell. There’s no more left in the well,” with photography by Jeff Kirk of model Shane Foran with an empty gallon.
Foran was styled by James N in pieces from Lacoste and H & M.
