<> - Recessionistas in, fashionistas out

Move over fashionistas – there’s a new girl in town. She’s called the “recessionista” and she delights in spending $70 rather than $700 on a cashmere cardigan or $1 to make a kiwi fruit face mask instead of shelling out $100 for a session at a trendy day spa. As the world economy tanks, recessionistas are finding pleasure in finding bargains rather than splurging, in an era where ostentatious consumption – even for the well-off – is beginning to appear gauche.

패셔니스트타? 리세셔니스타!
패셔니스타여, 길을 비켜라! 동네를 주름잡을 새로운 여성이 나타났다. ‘레셔서니스트’라는 이름의 이 여성은 캐시미어 카디건에 700달러가 아닌 70달러를 쓰는 것을 즐거워하고, 유행하는 스파에서 하루에 100달러를 쓰기보다는 단 1달러로 키위 마스크 팩을 만드는 것을 좋아한다. 세계 경제가 침체되면서, 겉치레하는 씀씀이보다는 할인 상품을 발견하는 것에 재미를 붙이는 리세셔니스타들이 나타나고 있다. 부유층이라 할지라도 과시용 소비는 눈치 없는 행동으로 보이는 시대가 왔기 떄문.

A 99-year-old Chinese man has gone on trial in Beijing accused of swindling some 750,000 yuan (≒ $109,700) from an American, the oldest criminal defendant ever in the city.
