“Recessionista Style, Quality over quantity is key to looking chic in this economic crunch…How to save money but look fabulous is solved in a pinch: become a recessionista. The first step is learning how to shop smart.”
“Think Classic and Multifunctional: But remember this need so to be time honered, not trendy and made of long-lasting material. These elements make a piece a wardrobe builder that ultimately saves you money down the road.”
“Becoming a recessionista means building your wardrobe from the ground up and buying key pieces that can work together to create great looks. You need at least three beautiful dresses in your wardrobe, and work from there, advises Espinoza.”
“A bit of personality: A finshing touch or subtle embelishment or details that make it yours – and don’t be afraid to mix and match designers!”

Studio-808, Inc. is the brainchild of Erin Creaney, a PR executive with a near-athletic enthusiasm for emerging designers. Finding herself searching the city for great designers with new and different looks, she knew a larger operation was in order. What's more, she felt the world needed to know about the fashion percolating in the Windy City. Thus was born Studio-808.com.
