Authors: Soohyun Kim (University of Georgia) , Insook Ahn (Chung-Ang University)

Abstract

This current study is to investigate whether the relationships between hemline and macro-economic factors – rGDP, recession, and unemployment – are applicable now; and to analyze time lags reflecting economic factors on hemline index using U.S. data. The hemline theory and fashion cyclical theory were applied to propose the relationships studied.
