Dear Mr. Benz,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],
How to do you keep from getting into a rut? Sometimes I feel like I’m running out of inspiration.
Yours, Needs a Recharge
Dear Needs-A-Recharge -
Inspiration is a tricky one,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for sure.
On one hand,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it is easy to be inspired by something specific much longer than one season, which unfortunately doesn’t work so well with the Fashion calendar. Obviously,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there are things that should be continually inspiring … For me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it’s Katherine Hepburn, Lauren Hutton, Shelley Duvall–always a casual, glamorous,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], colorful character. On the other hand,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a deadline may be approaching whereas you have to be inspired.
Something I sometimes do to ignite inspiration is research something you think you hate or seems completely boring – for me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it could be a hunting magazine, hot rods,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sports memorabilia,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that type of thing. Or,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], seemingly-dull time periods can also bore your brain into thinking of something interesting. Often, you will find something inspiring in these materials and then become obsessed.
Another good trick is to commit to a few hours of perusing eBay. I like searching broad search terms such as “chrome,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],” “mid century,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],” or the like. You might come across a vintage chrome ladle or something,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], whose shape could inspire an entire collection,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! If you can zone out and let your instinct guide you,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], some surprises tend to befall.
If all else fails and you’re still in a rut,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], get a giant iced coffee with a lot of sugar and just start sketching,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!
xx
