Fashion Inspirations reflects the global and regional diversity of modern fashions. This illustrated volume provides inspiration while documenting the endless possibilities of fashion design. It offers a comprehensive overview of radically different creations by courageous and innovative designers from five continents.
The sources of inspiration for creators of fashion are as boundless as the presentation forms of fashion itself. Designers draw inspiration from their direct environment, social developments, and current events. ]'hey grapple with new materials and technologies, styles of bygone eras, and the art, culture, and architecture of the past and present. Of course they are also influenced-though often unconsciously-by their own identity and local traditions. Globalization notwithstanding, designers cling to their roots on their various continents and, thus, in their different countries.
