...want to hazard a guess at which luxury brand might be next to stumble, take a quick spin around the second or third floors of New York City's Bergdorf Goodman department store. There you will find racks upon racks - sometimes, entire collections - of designs by Marc Jacobs, Chanel, Dior, Armani, Thakoon and Alberta Ferretti marked down 40%.

Sasha Tosic, founder of DJ4LIFE, also says enrollment has risen in Los Angeles, Chicago and Las Vegas. Robb Smith, owner of Central Florida-based FAME training school, has seen a 20% jump in deejay certifications this year. Aspiring deejays are flooding the schools, and flooding the market. "It's a lot easier to find a deejay these days," says Mark Rankin, who trains deejays in Chicago...
...Area (stage name: DJ Padd). "You can control everyone.' You can also pick up the basics in a month or two, and schools aren't ridiculously expensive: Rankin, for example, charges $600 for a month-long class in Chicago.
