How to Become Inspired for Fashion Design

 Ok, we all have definitely been there......
 You really want to design something amazing, but you just seemed to lack the special sparkle that allows you to create designs that make you feel like the Coco Chanel of your generation. If you are reading this and have no idea what I'm talking about, you will need this information one day.

I assure you. 

Here are some helpful ways to get your creative juices flowing:

1. Laugh.... a lot

     It is going to be really hard for you to be creative if you aren't loosened up, so find that one meme on pinterest that makes you burst with laughter, look up your favorite youtuber and laugh till you cry, or find that one completely ridiculous and embarrassing picture of your friend that you kept as black mail.

          
    

     

2. Listen to music

     It can get pretty dull just sitting at a desk surfing the web or trying to perfect the pose for your fashion sketch. Music will help you get in a good mood ,(depending on what genre of music you choose), and for me it miraculously helps me create amazing and creative designs. If you are designing an edgy look, listen to harder, tougher music, but if you are designing an elegant or chic look, listen to soft, classical music. It will help you get in the right mood to understand the type of clothes this type of clientele needs. 

3. Surf the web to find inspiring pictures

    Finding and collecting images of editorial shoots, fashion sketches, designs, scenery, or anything else that inspires you will help you figure out your personal style, and it will help you find inspiration when stuck in a rut. But how can you possibly find and collect such a plethora of pictures?! My secret: PINTEREST. It has an endless amount of inspiring images, you can save and organize you inspirations and you can access the images wherever there is wifi :)

4. Still Stuck?

  If you are still stuck after these tips, there is still hope. Find out what is holding you back. Are you sleep-deprived? Haven't been outside in a while? In a bad mood? It is important to catch up on your slumber and go get some fresh air! 

5. STOP OVER THINKING

   The fact that you are reading this might indicate that you need to stop over thinking and just DO. Go right now.......

now......

seriously go and make the best designs EVER! When you present your ccollection at fashion week be sure to invite me to your show!:)
