Sometimes when you're designing stuff you might think wow, is there room for innovation here, what can I do that's different? If you think about it, don't stress yourself out too much you don't have to be innovative all the time. If you're going to create new things just through trial and error and if you feel like you're uncreative one day just do what I do. I'll take a basic silhouette, here I have boy briefs, boy shorts. What I did was I drew a design on them and that symbolizes different fabrics that are combined to make that. It can be your collection can be intrinsically you by the way you combine fabrics. It can be a simple silhouette but the way you combine the fabrics and the drawings and the geometric lines you make on them, makes it completely your own. Think of abstract art, that's what I was thinking of when I did this. I though ugh, boy shorts again. But I added in the panels and then a waistband and it created something that was completely me and my own. So I don't really think I need to draw another pair of boy shorts for you. But we will just to review it. Make your waistline, decide where you want your legs to come up to and then like I did the panels, then I created a waistband. There you go!
