Nature's Inspiration in Fashion Designing |
|
|
An Inter-school Fashion Designing Competition was held recently, and our
school's art students were encouraged to participate. Even though I wasn't an
art student, my friends in the Art Club invited me to help them with some ideas
for the competition. I was happy to help, but I had no experience in designing
clothes.
To come up with some unique and creative ideas, I spent hours poring over
fashion magazines and books. However, I couldn't seem to produce anything
original or inspiring. I asked my sisters for their opinions, but they didn't
show much interest in my designs.
Feeling lost and desperate, I turned to my brother, who was good at digital art,
for help. He came up with some flamboyant designs, but they weren't quite what I
was looking for.
Thankfully, my Grandmother came to my rescue. She asked me to pick a few orchids
and other wildflowers from the garden and showed me how to turn them into
beautiful "fairy skirts." She also pointed out the exquisite colors that Mother
Nature chose for her creations.
Inspired by her lesson, I created four designs for my friends in just two days.
The art teachers were impressed with my designs and choice of colors, and my
friends added their technical skills to bring my designs to life.
On the day of the competition, our girls paraded down the runway in our
nature-inspired clothes, and we won the second prize. I felt proud of our
accomplishment, and Grandmother later revealed that she was an art student
herself.
Through this experience, I learned that nature is the best inspiration for
creativity and beauty in fashion designing. |
