Designers are often inspired by external factors, which is why it’s not surprising to find that fashion can develop from many unlikely forms. From the animal kingdom to an emotional ballad, your new favourite smock may have developed from a completely different medium or concept.
On my recent trip to Victoria, I took some time to allow myself to be inspired by the elegant, classic and historic Fairmont Empress. As I wandered though the regal halls, I witnessed style everywhere. The closer I looked, the more I saw complex patterns, plush textures, pattern pairing, and colour complementing. Take a trip with me and perhaps gain your next surge of inspiration.
