When the inspiration’s gone, when you’re tired and wish for a helpful hand, books are the best option to unpause the lack of interest in continuing your work.
Because, as we have heard before from designers and writers, if we create/write only when we’re inspired, we will write/create very little.
So, as an uninspired creator survivor, I share with all fashion designers ten books that have most of the answers to create whatever you’re up to. And if you’re not a fashion designer but a creator, most of these books can help everyone understand fashion from the creator’s perspective.

We could create a debate about which designer is better than whom and why they are different.
But I bring you a list of 10 designers that are so simple in their creativity that trying to understand them is next to impossible. Yet, one can instantly connect with their creations and get their message without even thinking about it.
How? Through their magnificent view of the world. If you don’t have the desire to at least try to create something alike by the end of this article, you will be aware of the messages in every single design you’ll see.

To volunteer takes courage. The first filters are the judgments of people around you, criticism everywhere, advice you never asked, and get questioned if you are the right fit to live something like that. But the reward is priceless.
It pleases all human shapes: personal, spiritual, and creative. Unknown places are discovered, beautiful people are known, and because of what you see and hear, you become an optimist, you find out and confirm that there are more good people in the world, and you are having breakfast with them regularly.
Nature also has a fundamental part of this. These volunteer…
I was the lonesome girl, an introvert, a person with very few friends, so to have a best friend was extra challenging for me. My biggest desire was to find a place where I belong; when I watched movies and saw that every girl, boy, or grown-up had their best friends with them, only provoked my jealousy.
I wanted to have a best friend for so long. In my last year of high school, I met this incredible girl; we shared the same sense of humor; we both liked an older boy, not the same one. Both of these guys…
First meetings are excited, with much expectation, fun, informal, and, most of the time, disappointing. It’s prevalent that the only thing the team does is brainstorming and probably a budget plan. But when the meeting ends, you’ll probably ask the specifics that no one has an answer.
It’s a matter of time when one person asks a question, and then other problems will follow, which could be the end of the project.
I invented this exercise for these meetings and has saved me time and money. It starts a bit boring, but it gets excited and smart.
I leave you…
Our relationship, like many others, started like a fairy tale. I met my ex-boyfriend at a gay bar, and after a few beers, I found out he wasn’t gay and was very handsome. We spend the night talking, and after a few months, we started a relationship.
He was five years older, I was starting university, he had like three jobs, and with that rhythm, we managed the funniest relationship I’ve ever had. Still, we stopped being interested in one and another. Just our sixth month anniversary, we have lost respect, there wasn’t magic nor love. I don’t know. …
You managed to create a company from scratch, attract clients, diversify the company, and get to a breakeven point stable enough to adapt to a cycle.

An investor will become a partner, part of your team: What does this new partner have that will benefit the company, and this moment? …
For a long time, I let my designs to be intuitive, full of art, expression, because that’s what I learned.
And with that in mind, I started a fashion label for children, and I focused on being an artist with a motive: to give the children a chance to understand their Mexican culture through clothes. And to design clothes that needed research, personal experience, identity, and everything an artist adores to transform into something incredible.
My textiles were beautiful, and the techniques were fantastic. Who wouldn’t dress their children in my clothes?
After two unsuccessful collections, I decided to study…
It took me around two years to find the kind of exercise that worked for my metabolism and was fun and attractive at the same time. A routine that didn’t feel like exercise but more like an impulse to work out every day, except weekends, of course.
I was 21 years old when I started with Tae-Bo routines and Zumba classes because I like to dance and feeling sexy with the movements. But I also do some boxing and cardio to let out the roughness in me. For eight years, I changed the routines until I detected the benefits in…
Reconnect, to have better habits, be more productive, recognize my successes, and like how I look in the mirror were my wishes during my 20’s. To not achieve it was frustrating, mainly because I am single, with no children, no crucial responsibilities, I have everything to my favor to make it all happen.
I’ve always been a night owl; I adore the night and its mystery, I love to receive it ready for the inspiration it brings me, for a new adventure, maybe. So when I made a list of everything I wanted to do daily and to see the…
