China came out of quarantine + went straight to shopping. Wow.

I’m sure Chanel will see this kind of bounce back too as they still are not an online retailer. I guess that’s one advantage for businesses that do heavy sales in-store — People has to wait until they reopen

It’s def going to be a YOLO wave of buying + indulgence that’s going to occur after this pandemic — Similiar to post-WWII. During the war we saw luxury houses close + luxury materials like silk, wools + other fabrics rationed....

Post-WWII ppl wanted all the sumptuous fabrics they were denied. Two years after the war Christian Dior gave us the New Look with yards + yards of silks, wools, furs + paddings. Cristobal Balenciaga also gave us leeengths of black fabric + silk

Ppl wanted what they couldn’t have

Basically, there’s going to be so much creativity + consumption on the other side of this.
