Consumer Quotes

• Yes, there may be some convergence to what you see on a screen that's different from the way you will experience a magazine in your hand, but there are lots of ways you can signal differences.

• The inner sort of consumer identity got the best of people. And everybody just wants things for free. And that's created this strange kind of cheapness to everything, where everything becomes throwaway.

And I think that's regrettable.

You think there would be some, because the consumer is of all colors and all shades. But you don't see that in fashion.
