A publication that investigates intricate interplay between an outdated economic indicator, the ‘hemline index’, and the UK’s current economic recession. This is a theory, established by George Taylor in 1926, that links hemline lengths to stock market performance, proposing that during time of economic upturn, skirts shorten signalling optimism, while in downturns, they lengthen as a sign of conservatism. Adopting a speculative perspective this project urges readers to embrace a longer, more modest hemline in correlation with today’s economic crisis. This publication includes removable neon pink perforated posters and digitally embroidered slogan patches that can be sewn onto garments
