Isaac Mizrahi: Fashion and Creativity | Ted

Ah! I loved the energy in this talk by Isaac Mizrahi on Ted! Finally, something that was far less "boring and draggy" than the previous one. Isaac had a more uplifting and energetic spirit. On a serious note, I like how he emphasised that creative thinking is not usually linear or point-blank. Not direct.  Even when he is a fashion designer, he books everything and showed us how and where we can get inspiration from & even at times, randomly. He mentioned that, it's not those moments where he just glare into space and.. BAM! Sparked an idea into mind immediately.. We got to work for it instead sometimes. What he projected felt like an insight into his mind when he's designing. He is both unorthodox and interesting at the same time. He goes out and around, observes neighbourhood, and pursues inspiration. Once he even took the liberty to stalk someone because his shoes were nice. And this is coming from a designer! I loved it when he proved a point that he knew at times that he can be not good enough at everything and that was perfectly fine because he knew at least he was not bored with his capability to explore. He taught a very important lesson to never hold back on past mistakes & not let fear of failure hold us back in things which we find interesting.. that, inspiration can come from anything and anywhere.
