Fashion week(s) season is a very exciting time for me.  I take a few hours off from my regular crazy work schedule and I’m glued to my computer screen.  This is the time to get my creative juices flowing.

Fashion Week

I’m inspired by all the color, the artistic presentation of the shows and all the gorgeous fabrics and designs.  I’m looking at all the detail in every show- from hair and makeup to what shoes the models are wearing.

I closely study all the apparel that I could see my customers wearing.  If these pieces make it to stores, what belts can I design to take these pieces from pretty to stunning?

I’m also looking for belts and how designers are incorporating them into their styling. Are they using more obi-style belts, such as our wrap belt, or more skinny belts or buckled belts?

Before, during and after the shows I’m pinning all my inspiration to Pinterest.  This way once I’m ready to sit down and design… I have all my thoughts together in one place.
