VIDEO: Carolina Herrera talks about being your own muse
You always hear people in the industry talking about muses and how they inspire designers in coming up with their collections. Why is the fashion world so fixated on muses? Moda Operandi’s new video series, Be Your Own Muse, advocates the concept of enabling women to be whoever they want to be through the transformative platform of fashion.
In series’ debut short, Carolina Herrera discusses how she has learned to be inspired by just about anything and to use fashion as means to empower one’s identity. “I find my inspiration everywhere and everyday… I can find inspiration reading a book, talking to someone, in a concert, you have to have your eyes open,” the designer discusses in the short film. “Fashion is a repetition of ideas; it’s the way you put them together that makes it news.”
