Lately I've been getting a lot of questions about what one actually does in a Fashion Design program. Of course, there is a lot to it, but I thought that it may interest some if I shared a little tidbit from my university life. This year one of my big projects is to design and make a daywear dress for spring. Of course, as a designer there is a lot that goes into formulating a brilliant idea, and most important of all is the inspiration! I ended up choosing 'Military Uniforms in the Nineteenth Century' for my theme and came up with the following board. I am quite pleased with the results and the overall feel! In case you can't read the quote, it says this "At the close of this war I will remove my insignia and wristwatch. I will continue to wear my short coat so that everyone can kiss my ass." - George S. Patton. I think that it embodies the pretentious vibe of military costume brilliantly! What do you guys think of it? I really feel that having an inspiration board is a good idea for everyone, designer or not...just remember to go with your gut when making it...you might be surprised by the results!P.S. I'm dying to become a red head...can I make it work?
