Where do fashion designers get their inspiration from one may ask? A curious question that I ponder over as I watch Kelly prepare for her new line. Fashion is always changing. Every season brings new styles and trends that circulate among us. Some fashion designers say they get their inspiration from the street style in places such as London , Tokyo and Paris. The media, magazines, and television are also good spots to draw ideas from. A beautiful view, a plant, or a building can inspire anyone for a moment and turn into a new idea. Some fashion designers say they can get their inspiration anywhere, “anything beautiful, ugly and in between can inspire you,” says one designer about her process.

Designers must draw on many areas for inspiration. The past, present and future all figure into this. A good designer knows how to read clues from the current culture, be able to digest them and produce designs that are fresh and unique.  Areas to draw inspiration come from current movies, foreign fashion designers work and new functional interpretations.
