Quote by Karl Kristian Flores

“People used to shop in stores; swiping through hangers, trying on clothes, and being surprised by what looked good on them. Now, clothing is a 2x4 digital image that you scroll past, worn by someone who isn’t you, in a color that isn’t accurate, in a fashion that invites no spontaneity. Our infinity makes us so limited.”

But it's precisely in a service-based economy that simple quantitative targets fail... It's time for a new set of figures.”
