With a lot of talk going on at uni about creating the most amazing, innovative collection that you could possibly think of, there is a fair amount of pressure to be creative - really creative. Sometimes pressure can be a good thing - other times it can just be really, really frustrating and make you sacrifice the fun of taking chances in favour of playing it safe for something that you know will work.
Two things recently have reminded me that it's worth taking a risk, and it's way more exciting.
1. A conversation with a good friend who somehow linked fashion design to aeroplanes, who suggested that the first person to suggest that a flying machine which could carry hundreds of people around the world would probably have been laughed at but look at 'him' now ... so you should just design whatever the hell you believe in.
2. This video from Diesel who's current catch phrase is 'Be Stupid'. Thanks to the lovely Ele who's blog I discovered this little number on. A timely reminder to be a bit stupid and do something challenging and exciting.

About Me
- Bronwyn
- I'm a Sydney based fashion student embarking on a final year of fun uni deadlines and creative ventures before trying my hand in the real world. DesignBrainBucket is a nice little hole in which I can empty my thoughts, mix them around, and hopefully come out with some constructive understanding of elements of the design world that I occasionally think about but never really put into words. If you ever have anything to ask or say please don't hesitate to get into contact with me or post a comment. Enjoy!
