Sir Paul Smith is one
of my favourite people. Not because of his relentless crea6vity and childish enthusiasm, but because he leads one of the largest fashion brands in the world, whilst remaining one of the world’s nicest entrepreneurs. He is also slightly obsessed with cycling which makes him a preAy top bloke in my opinion. So in honor of Sir Paul, the colour plates for my favourite social media quotes are taken from the Paul Smith colour paleAe. About the quotes… Before you get all upset, these are not all social media quotes. That being said, I do think they translate perfectly to any social media strategy or to inspire any socially connected brand. Decide for yourself. > Follow Sir Paul on Instagram @PaulSmithDesign
