Chris Silver:

There’s a story for everything. You can’t just have point solutions in the store. It has to do something. It has to mean something.

I think the biggest thing is, how do we set ourselves up to be more personalized, to be more dynamic, to use intelligence technology, not for creating a sale, but for creating a better relationship with the consumer?

I think there’s definitely still discovery going on. It’s just changed

It’s using social, it’s using all this interactive, augmented reality technology. It’s mixed with, okay I understand what your preferences are, take a look at this. Or maybe for the day you want to dial up to something, more of your personality because you’re feeling a bit more daring or you have a big event coming up.

I think it’s going to expand the way that we engage with the consumer.
