More fuel for inflation?
Yahoo: Fashion chains far from cheerful about future of cheap chic
It was a sign of the times: fashion so cheap it became "disposable" as globalisation brought containerloads of low-cost clothes to the UK. But the days of the £4 jeans and £2 T-shirt could be numbered, with analysts and retailers now warning that the era of constantly reducing prices is coming to an end.

Millions of public-sector and private-sector job losses coming soon. VAT rise to 20%. Price of clothes, food, and petrol rising strongly. Wages stagnating.
There will be a bloodbath on the high street over the next twelve months. I wouldn't want to be invested in retail commercial property or shopping centres. Who will be the next Woolworths?

I've noticed the clothing quality has nosedived at places like Next and M and S since the credit crunch.
My sis and I used to buy heaps at every Next sale but we hardly go in there now.
