This winter has been productive, maybe a little too productive because I'm feeling overworked and underwhelmed. I just created a new collection for fall 09, and I'm stoked about the clothes - they look amazing. I just haven't gotten around to marketing the collection yet because, well, I haven't felt inspired. I guess that's a problem that all creative professionals have to deal with, especially at the level that I'm at. Busting my chops to get everything done, designed, sewn, shipped, and I don't have time for myself. I've felt blah, blah, blah because I haven't had a spare moment to step back and see the bigger picture.
I don't like feeling blah, especially knowing that I have a great collection to be stoked on! So I'm on a hunt for inspiration. Or, better put, I'm determined to start documenting the things that inspiring me and letting them soak into my blood, rather than being a cool thought written down in a notebook and tucked away on a book shelf. In order for this to happen, I have to spend some quality time with these inspiring things - sit down, get to know one another, maybe have them over for dinner. Ha!
Or maybe I'll just document the things that I love in this blog, in hopes that other people will find them inspiring too.
While you wait for me to write the first entry, take a moment to enjoy my favorite image that popped up on Google images when I searched for "winter blahs". Its entitled "Dance away the winter blahs". I may not have these ladies' moves, but this image sure does put a smile on my face and forget about my blahs.
