'Dancing With the Stars' 2009 Recycles Fashion From Previous Seasons

— September 25, 2009 — Pop Culture
It appears as if the recession is even affecting successful reality shows as last night we saw 'Dancing With the Stars' 2009 recycling fashions from seasons past.

On 'Dancing With the Stars' 2009, we saw the exact same outfits used in seasons seven and eight thrust back into the spotlight, tightly hugging the curves of Karina Smirnof and Natalie Coughlin.

The fringe-tastic frocks are very flashy and fluid, reason enough for them to be recycled back into 'Dancing With the Stars' 2009.
Trend Themes
1. Recycling Fashion for Cost-cutting Purposes - The trend of using recycled fashion for economic reasons could disrupt the fashion industry and pave the way for sustainable fashion practices.
2. Repurposing Previous Artistic Creations - The trend of repurposing artwork or designs from previous seasons or productions could disrupt the artistic production industry, making it more cost-efficient and environmentally friendly.
3. Embracing Frugality in Entertainment - The trend of being mindful of expenses in entertainment productions, such as reusing costumes, could disrupt the entertainment industry by placing more emphasis on creativity and resourcefulness.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Industry - The fashion industry could benefit from embracing sustainable practices and offering recycled clothing lines to meet the growing demand for eco-friendly fashion.
2. Artistic Production Industry - The artistic production industry could benefit from establishing more eco-friendly production practices such as reusing design concepts and materials, leading to cost savings and waste reduction.
3. Entertainment Industry - The entertainment industry could benefit from embracing more frugal approaches to production without sacrificing creativity or quality, which could lead to cost savings and increased efficiency.
