Inspiration, Fashion & Boredom

A very refreshing talk by Isaac Mizrahi on what interests him and how that feeds his inspiration. And ultimately translates into his work. Unlike alot of people he does not try to be intellectual and do research for his work. He says he does his own type of research. He studies movies, people in the street and color as all this he says motivates him and therefore inspires his ideas. He says that he is also motivated by astrologers and tarot card readers and often follows their advice/clues into his life.

He also talks about how he combats boredom by not committing to just one craft or discipline. This he implies is deeply liberating and good for the soul. And maybe a way to inspire oneself by constantly looking at new things and looking at life in new ways.
