Two quotes this week, from a piece in the Weekend Financial Times’ Fashion Supplement from the 9th/10th April 2022 in an article titled “Sage and the Scholar” featuring Paul Smith and Priya Ahluwalia.
“The industry has changed enormously and it’s a much more crowded and competitive place. To anyone starting out (as a creative) today, “Be brave enough to ask yourself why should anyone buy what I’m doing, what is my point of view and if you can start answering that even in a very small way then you will be on your way.”
Paul Smith
“I have taken Paul’s advice to, ‘Keep your feet on the ground and never think you have made it.’ “I don’t want to become a moment….then fall off.”
Priya Ahluwali
