philosophy practice world
It's a philosophy of life. A practice. If you do this, something will change, what will change is that you will change, your life will change, and if you can change you, you can perhaps change the world.
talking people rubbish
The sexiest people are thinkers. Nobody's interested in somebody who's just vain with a hole in their head, talking about the latest thing - there is no latest thing. It's all rubbish.
clothes interesting impressive
You have a more interesting life if you wear impressive clothes.
character clothes identity
My clothes have a story. They have an identity. They have a character and a purpose. That's why they become classics. Because they keep on telling a story. They are still telling it.
fashion knowing people
I am attracted to people who make this effort in knowing what suits them - they are individual and stylish.
