INSPIRATIONS ARE EVERYWHERE
As milliners and headwear designers, we must learn to see beyond what is ordinary.
In the comment section, you will see a video, where a designer looking at a mountain, studying its shape, lines and structure and then transforming that inspiration into a beautiful hat.
Also look closely at the photograph on this post, the structure behind the woman became an inspiration for the shape of the cap she is wearing. What an incredible reminder that design inspiration can be found anywhere!
A mountain.
A building.
A flower.
A wave.
A leaf.
A ceiling Fan.
A piece of architecture.
A sculpture.
Even the lines and shapes we see in our everyday environment.
Dear Milliners and Designers, train your eyes to see differently.
Don't just look, Observe.
Don't just admire, Interpret.
Don't just copy what already exists, Transform what you see into something uniquely yours.
The world around you is filled with shapes, textures, colours, movements and structures waiting to become your next masterpiece.
So, wherever you go, keep your creative eyes open.
Your next beautiful headpiece may already be sitting right in front of you, you only need to see it.
