> DIALOGUE WTH PAUL SMITH



went to "Sir Paul Smith in conversation with Dylan" tonight (NOTE: Dylan chief ed. from ID magazine)
quite interesting and reinforcing some of my thoughts as well. HIGHLIGHTS:

HAVE TO HAVE POINT OF VIEW
THINGS WITH LITTLE SECRETS
THINGS WHERE EVERYDAY MEN CAN IDENTIFY
EVERY SHOP, EVERY CORNER HAS THEIR OWN IDENTITY, BIG BRANDS SHOP IS LIKE STARBUCKS THESE DAYS - PATHETIC! THERE MUST BE REASON TO GO PARIS, BUT NOT ANYMORE
BIG BRANDS - BUILD IDEAS, ROLL OUT IDEAS LIKE PUSHING BUTTONS
UNIQUENESS
PASSION, ENERGY
I EMBRASS YOU, YOU EMBRASS ME
CARE ABOUT HUMAN BEING, THERE ARE PPL NOT VERY WELL
REAL PERSON
LARGER THAN LIFE
HUMOR, TOUCH AND GENTLE GESTURE (IN JPN)
PAUL'S DNA: LOVE OF LIFE/CURIOUS/OBSERVANT/YOU WEAR THE CLOTHES

finally, "IT'S ABOUT TODAY & TOMORROW, NO ONE CARES HOW GOOD YOU USED TO BE"
