Designers are creative, but they need to be able to harness that creativity. Curation is a key skill for any fashion designer.
There is a time to let creativity run wild with ideas, but it is in the editing that the real magic happens. The curation of inspiration photos for a mood board, of individual design elements in a garment, or of pieces in a collection all bring the designer’s vision into focus.
Selecting the best ideas from a creative brainstorm isn’t easy, but it is necessary. Through curation, you can better understand yourself as a designer and better communicate your work to your team, production partners, retailers, and customers.
