Moody Judy

In sewing class we've been talking about what really inspires a designer and how the process of creating a cohesive collection begins. Mood boards are really the basis of creating an understandable collection. Like a thesis statement makes or breaks an essay, the mood board is the explanation of inspiration. We humans are visual, and so a collage-style representation if inspirational images, text, and fabrics makes it easy to explain to others what message you are trying to get across with your clothes.

So of course I spent the afternoon searching the internet for cool mood boards by various designers. Here are some of my favorite finds:

Anna Sui

Matthew Williamson

Phillip Lim

Louis Vuitton

J. Crew
