My favorite, Papierdoll, all this week is posting fashion predictions and recapping 2007 for us all. It is great, because they aren’t your run of the mill.  The first, expert papierdoll turned to is by Lauren Sherman, fashion writer for Forbes. Sherman’s predictions weigh heavy on the minds of the business intelligentsia as fashion investors might look to her crystal ball statements and double down on fashion companies she deems worthy.[...]So what does Sherman have to say?

While we abhor top ten lists, we couldn’t resist creating our 10 disappointing fashion moments of 2007. Being the [...]

 

So keep checking in to see what the rest of the week will bring us from Papierdoll’s recaps and predictions.
