Right-brain fashion
thinking can be found
in a designer's ability to
consider the process of
design thoughtfully; trust
their intuition when making
decisions; always be open
to creative insights and
exercises; appreciate the art
of fashion; and find the music
that creates an appropriate
setting for their work.
Talk it out. Every designer can use a sounding
board. Hearing ideas out loud is a great reality
check, made even better when others provide
you with feedback.
Write it out. Committing it to paper allo ws one
thought to lead to another on the page, without
the risk of letting any idea slip through your
fingers.
Lay it out. The wide open space of a table, a
bulletin board, or a wall allows the designer
to spread out all aspects of an idea. When a
designer can see the whole picture she will begin
to recognize relationships between the many dif
ferent elements.
Mapping things out is a way to fine-tune the
process and enhance the potential for original
thinking.31
