Isaac Mizrahi TED Talk: Fashion & Creativity





Isaac Mizrahi talks about how he is motivated by insomnia which made him think, create and explore. Most of his ideas came from mistakes that he saw in things and they inspire him. Here are some of the main points on how his ideas came about being a fashion designer.



Mistakes and tricks of the eye


  • he followed this guy just because his shoes were nice and he ended up taking a picture of the shoes
  • he made the car stop just to look at what it seems like a hole in a shirt or anything that amazed him
  • it turns out to be shadow and he thought that if it was to be hole, someone thought of that thought already


Inspirations

  • inspired by movies and how light makes the colour in movies
  • watch how women are portrayed in movies
  • he worked with different choreographers on costumes for operas and his inspiration came from making puppets when he was a kid

To sum up, Isaac Mizrahi explores on how the things in the world inspire him. It can be from people that we meet, the colours in movies or even fashion inspiration. We need to explore in order to get the ideas. Then, we can finally get outcome and create something great.
