Things that inspire me

I find new ideas for clothes I want to make in many places. Wherever I go and whatever I do, I keep my eyes open. I enjoy beautiful things. I am very visual. Here is a small list of things that inspire me at the moment:

1.  Colors
Even though red is my all-time favorite, the colors that please my eye right now are navy blue, mustard, grey, and bronze brown.


2. New York City
The City That Never Sleeps, The Big Apple... It has many names, and for a good reason: it is one of the most interesting and versatile places in the world. It never stops surprising me!

My favorite piece of street art in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

A cool building somewhere around the SoHo area.

3. Fabrics and patterns
I could spend hours at clothing and fabric stores just admiring beautiful colors, materials, and patterns. And of course, sometimes I take some of these pretty things home with me.

Recent purchases. 
(Yes, I like the combination of red and blue, 
especially if it involves a cute print!)

A dress that I couldn't afford to buy.

4. Movies (and celebrities)
I recently re-watched Chocolat and was inspired by many of the things the main character, Vianne, was wearing. My appreciation for beautiful clothing and style is by no means limited to what fictional characters or famous people wear, but ordinary people that I see on the street may inspire me as well.
