The Inspiration: Where Fashion Design Begins

Offered through Skillshare

About this course

In this class you'll learn the very first step of fashion design: finding inspiration.

Often, this can be the most challenging step but I'll take you through the process I use for my brand to source inspiration and synthesize it into something meaningful and beautiful that you can actually translate into a working fashion design.

I'll teach how you to go beyond the literal repurposing of the inspiration itself and how to connect your inspiration to a design that's right for your consumer. Packaging all of this together you'll leave this class with a defined personal point of view for your collection.

What You'll Learn

- Finding Inspiration. We'll discuss how to be a sponge, how to compile your imagery and come up with a backstory for your collection.

- Constructing the Mood Board. We'll walk through how to define your palette, lay out your board and most challenging of all... edit it.

- Defining Your Customer. We'll cover how to create a profile of who you're designing for - what can she afford, what does the competing market look like and how do you maintain your point of view.

- Translating Inspiration to Ideas. Finally, we'll learn how to put pencil to paper - how to move beyond literal translations from your inspiration into beautiful designs of your own.

What You'll Do

Whether you're actually designing a collection or just looking to get a grasp on the process, in this class you'll have the opportunity to create your own fashion design mood board with images, a color palette and a narrative.
