Skirt Length Indicates Lowered Economy

The hemline economy: Maxi length skirts are a sure sign of bad times, and now they are as long as the 1929 Great Depression
The Hemline Index has been used since 1926 to indicate the state of the economy
Although maxi lengths are on-trend, runways of Autumn/Winter 2012/13 showed shorter skirts
This disagrees with the Bank of England's latest growth prediction for this year, which was cut to zero
