THE INSPIRATION NOTEBOOK / 02

Give your idea a visual language

Before drawing or cutting, there is a feeling. Explore three palettes and discover how colour can guide a concept.

A CREATIVE EXPERIMENT

Earth & ease

Which palette feels closest to your idea?

Start with olive, sand and clay. Pair a natural texture with a relaxed silhouette, then keep one accent for the details.

Colours are a starting point. Texture and light can change how they feel, so always test them with real fabric swatches.

EARTH / 01
FROM A FEELING TO A CONCEPT

Build a moodboard with meaning.

A moodboard does not need dozens of pictures. It needs choices that tell the same story.

01 / Choose a feeling

Write just three words that describe the design: calm, sharp or light, for example. Use them as a reference for every choice that follows.

02 / Look for a connection

Place an inspiring image beside a fabric swatch and a colour. Ask yourself whether these elements speak the same language.

03 / Make room for experiments

Sketch several versions of the same silhouette. Change one element at a time to understand what it adds.

Every creative journey starts somewhere.
