Finding inspiration is one of the most important parts in the process of making a collection. It can come from anywhere: nature, other designers, architecture, fashion history or celebrities.
Firstly you should choose a muse.
It could be a celebrity or someone you know. Everything you design should be something you could imagine them wearing. This is already a great starting point for creating silhouettes and colours.
Then you should choose a colour palette that you think would suit his/her skin tone, and that go with the season you are making the collection for. There are no rules for this, but I would stick to the basics if it’s your first one.
Then you should search images on the internet, or photos you have taken yourself, of places in nature that are inspiring, and that you design something upon. It could be the sea, a sunset, leaves or flowers.
You can then search certain years, like the 20s or the 50s, and take inspiration from shapes and colours that were in fashion back then.
Lastly, you can get inspiration from everyday life. I sometimes see buildings that have a nice colour, or make me think of a certain style of clothing, and I will take a photo and make a little voice memo to remind myself later.
It’s a great way to take inspiration from your surrounding, maybe even the best.
What’s your inspiration?
