    Shine editor Joanna and I were talking this morning about how just kind of "bleh" Fashion Week has been, how you can really feel how toned down everything is because of the recession and how we both wonder if maybe designers should have saved money and just skipped this season. Other fashion editors have been talking about how powerful all of the clothes are, how these are tough designs for tough times. While it's true that there's a certain Dynasty meets Tron vibe happening-we've seen tons of black leather, space age metallic fabrics, hoods, and over-the-top '80s-office outfits-that doesn't mean many of these pieces are attractive or something you'd actually want to wear. And that's kind of sad. Anyway, here's the bad news first. We'll round up the best of Fall '09 at the end of the week.
