How interior décor helps create immersive retail experiences Michael Kors "The biggest lesson that I've learned is that fashion is this tightrope where you have to be consistent but inconsistent. You need the connective thread but at the same time you need a sense of surprise." Warren Ellis "If you believe that your thoughts originate inside your brain, do you also believe that television shows are made inside your television set?" Simon Sinek "People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it." Don Miguel Ruiz "Be Impeccable With Your Word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love." Kenneth Branagh "Lighten up, just enjoy life, smile more, laugh more, and don't get so worked up about things." |
