Travel breeds the need to experience, feel, and do the unfamiliar. But even when your plans take you out of your regular day-to-day, there are some parts of your routine that you can’t leave at home. Furthermore has partnered with the <a href=/platformx#/>Platinum Card from American Express</a> to show you how entrepreneurs in fashion, design, and other fields take the most essential aspects of their lifestyles with them on their adventures—anytime, anywhere. Quincy Moore, the founder and <a href=/articles/2017/11/galen-hooks-my-healthy>creative director</a> of New York City lifestyle brand <a href=https://www.knowlita.com/ target=_blank>Knowlita</a>, has a knack for clever phrases. His lightbulb moments usually strike when he’s traveling: He coined “New York or Nowhere®,” a trademark of his <a href=/articles/2018/08/3-new-brands-to-watch>brand</a>, while on a train from Paris to <a href=/articles/2017/11/amsterdam-by-bike>Amsterdam</a> in 2015. “My best ideas come to me while I’m on the road,” says Moore, a Platinum Collective advisory board member, who just got back from three weeks in Europe and hopes to visit Tokyo sometime next year. At its core, he says, Knowlita is a love letter to New York. “I was always really drawn to the hustle of New York and I wanted to be in the middle of where culture happens,” says Moore, who grew up in the Southwest. “When I first moved to the city, I was inspired by the downtown neighborhoods and became enamored with the energy of the communities there. Knowlita was (and is) a reflection of that feeling. It’s a celebration of what I love.” Here, the 31-year-old designer talks about his other influences.
