I have also met and spoken with people who have known me in a professional setting, they had no idea that my true passion is designing clothes. They have had one main question and it's "how do you think of this stuff?" So with that in mind, I decided to show one of my sources of inspiration. I must admit that I can find [...]

Justin Clark – The Process

People often ask me as a designer, “how do you come up with so many different ideas without all of your clothes looking the same?” Little do they know that coming up with the ideas is the easy part.

For me, it is more important to enjoy the process of creating rather than enjoy the beautiful rewards of meaningless effort. Designing is something very near and dear to me and I love every step in the process, especially when [...]

Justin Clark

In this blog I will briefly discuss my design process and help you to understand how I communicate my vision as a designer. The first thing I do when designing a collection is think about the different inspirations or points of reference that I want to encompass within the collection. I usually find inspiration in nature, historical periods, and science fiction. I like the idea of super natural existences including aliens, killer plants, and even mermaids. I think about ways to interpret these creatures through fabric choices and design details to create characters with super natural feminine qualities. Next, I [...]
