You have to stay updated on trends, social things and pop culture, you need to stay with the times and keep evolving.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't personally follow trends; I don't even like the idea of trends. I think it's kind of absurd that you have to change every six months, so I always try and buy things that hopefully I'll like forever, and resonate with me.
It seems we're always in transition and that it's more about trends than it is about what's meaningful.
I try to set trends.
Change and renewal are themes in life, aren't they? We keep growing throughout life.
I don't set trends. I just find out what they are and exploit them.
The one thing that I've learned is that people don't change. Each new generation has the same stuff that the last one did. It's one of those things where jazz kind of works in five-year cycles.
Don't follow trends, start trends.
Trends carry on forever, until they stop. I want to be around after things come to a standstill. As a result, I tend to be pretty conservative.
Trends are not real; they are for the consumer, and once we can get enough of us to free ourselves from it and realize that it's not about strong-arming our way through, it's about understanding that we are so needed for the balance of this planet, then I think we can start having changes.
The thing is to be able to outlast the trends.
