Inspiration on the Web

There are bunch of great websites which I look to for inspiration, so I thought I would share a few with you all so you can see what makes me tick.

My homepage is set to the Fashion Source news stream, which is Australian industry focused. Dry I know, but it is a great site to check out what is happening and the opportunities that are out there at the moment (and its free to register). It also has a great sourcing database for just about everything-that-you-could-ever-want-ever.

For inspiration of a more creative persuasion I look to Fashion Incubator by Kathleen Fasanella. The site is based in America, and some of the posts are quite specific to this area but there are a huge number of practical articles and interesting patternmaking which I can relate directly to my practice. The site has a very practical, hands-on approach that is really useful, as well as inspirational.

The Ethical Fashion Forum, meanwhile is more for lusting purposes- they run tonnes of amazing workshops and conferences in London (maybe one day!).

For lusting of a more material persuasion I can’t go past the shop at Not Just A Label (NJAL). Oh if only I could afford anything in that shop! But seriously, it has great articles and photography and allows you to enter your own profile with all your details which is good for networking so its well worth checking out.

I would love to hear some of your favourites too, so let me know!
