FASHION GET INSPIRED

DECODED: REVENGE BUYING

nupur.amarnath@timesgroup.com
R
evenge buying has become a much
discussed topic in the luxury fash-
ion world, especially when Her-
mes in China, recorded a $ 2.7 mil-
lion in sales on the day, it reopened re-
cently. But revenge against whom or
what? Is it due to the restrictions
of lockdown and living a forced aus-
tere life or is it just missing your
high of good old retail therapy?
What is revenge
buying
‘Revenge buying’ or rather ‘revenge
spending’ is the overindulgence in re-
tail therapy by consumers, who have
missed shopping at their favourite out-
lets, thanks to the lockdown.
WILL THIS
THE
BIG Q: HAPPEN IN INDIA?
F ashion pundits feel Indians are going to hold on to
their money — at least for this year. Sunil Sethi,
chairman, Fashion Design Council of India says, “If I think
from the head and the heart, my heart says that there
should be revenge buying in India, and I know fashion
world would welcome this move. But the head says that
this will not be the case for India, because we as Indians,
in times of crisis, move away from what we would call
wasteful expenditure.” What will definitely happen is more
conscious buying after careful thought, as people are not
in the mood to let go of their money, he adds.

Banksy's latest artwork introduces a
new superhero — a nurse
A
young boy has chosen a nurse as the
superhero— he wants to play with,
over Batman and Spiderman— in a
new artwork by Banksy. The artwork en-
capsulates the gratitude Britons have felt
towards the country's National Health Ser-
vice(NHS), during the coronavirus crisis.
The painting by the secretive street artist
was unveiled at the University Hospital
Southampton, south England, recently. The
new painting will be on display at the hos-
pital, until after the lockdown and it will
then be auctioned for NHS charities.
It is not the first Banksy work inspired by Covid-19. He posted scenes of his trademark
stencilled rats running amok in a bathroom last month, accompanied by the comment:
"My wife hates it, when I work from home." His existing, ‘Girl with a Pierced Eardrum’
mural was also updated with the addition of a blue surgical mask, although the update
was not confirmed to be his work on Instagram.

WILL COVID-19 WIDEN THE DIGITAL DIVIDE? STUDENTS WITH

THEIR SCIENCE
HOMEWORK

A
mid steep rise in the coronavirus pan-
demic cases, the United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP) has
warned that there is a risk that the economic and
technological divides between the industrialised,
emerging and developing countries, could widen
further, especially in digital transition.
WHAT'S DIGITAL DIVIDE?
According to experts, the world is now divid-
ed between people who have access to
Internet and those who don't have this
privilege. Those who don't have Internet are
the 'new underprivileged', because no access
to digital services means more risk to life
and livelihood— people in various sectors,
where 'work from home' is possible, are able
to manage lockdowns better than those who
don't have this facility, they add.
STUDENTS’ TAKE
While the big players have taken
advantage of digitisation during
these lockdown times, emerging
startups and young aspirants are
still struggling to get a foothold.
Countries developing their econo-
my through digital means, may
suffer a noticeable digital divide, compared with
those having well-established digital bases

Vidyalaya, Thiruvananthapuram
In this technology-driven world,
though it is convenient for people hav-
ing access to Internet and smart-
phones/laptops/PCs to work smoothly
from home, it is important to under-
stand that a large chunk of world pop-
ulation is still without Internet access.
This gap is likely to widen, in years to come

THE IMPACT
