Forests: Their colors and Textures as Inspiration for Fashion Design

3/4/2015

0 Comments

 
I inherited love for nature from my family. I love going for walks, enjoying the fresh air, looking up at the sun, and enjoying the great colors around me. I often bring my camera and document interesting textures and patterns - they inspire me in my fashion design work. 

My parents enjoy trips to the forests around Prague. And like me, my Mom, often snatches a photo of her surroundings. And she sends these photos to me. So, today you can enjoy the wonderful colors of winter in the Czech republic. I can almost feel the cold air, the sun's rays on my face, and the sounds the ground makes when I walk on it.

Our surroundings are just so fascinating to me. Looking at these photos, I learn about how vertical elements (e.g., trees) interact with the horizontal elements (e.g., ground, sky) of the nature. The interaction inspires my thinking when it comes to fashion design. I can apply the elements I see in nature to designing a dress. For instance, balance of colors in these photos can affect how I design a color-blocking dress - how much each layer/color of fabric holds up within a design. 

Do you go for a walk and are ever inspired by by shapes/colors in a project of your own? Do you paint? Or, work with wood? What inspires you?
