Creativity in Fashion Design

Creativity in Fashion Design: An Inspiration Workbook aims to inspire and empower designers by helping them to develop their personal creativity and use it as a tool to achieve design goals. Activities throughout the book demonstrate that creativity is a tool available to anyone who understands its components and teach students to identify and then seek out or avoid the personal and environmental factors that promote or inhibit their own creativity.

This text will teach students that creativity is a tool available to anyone who understands its components. Students are introduced to the foundations of creativity, with particular emphasis on exploring and developing one's individual and collaborative creativity relative to fashion design.
