In my CAD class, we have the option of coming up with a mini-collection for a designer and design according to their aesthetic, or deciding on a theme and developing our own little line. I've chosen the latter.
Fashion Week, a visit to the MET, and a couple of September issues later, I still had nothin. It was the Sunday before the mood board was due, and I told myself I'd take a trip to MoMa in the hopes of being inspired. But on a whim, I decided to meet some friends at Highline Park instead.
On my way to meet them, I wanted to take a little detour to the Catherine Malandrino store since I was already in Meatpacking. (She is one of my faves.) En route, I stumbled upon the greatest little pop up gallery. "Icons" by Mr. Brainwash. I was in heaven.
Neo-pop the size of the walls, I was engulfed in each work on art, getting lost in each piece.
I found my concept.
I guess it's true what they say about inspiration. You can't look for it. Ya gotta let it find you. Because it will. And like most wonderful things in life, it'll happen when you least expect it.
