In this audio recording, Parsons School of Design alumna and fashion designer Robin Howe discusses how fashion designers are inspired. She provides background on how designers start assembling colors and fabrics together on a mood board, and encourages students to make their own fabrics. She describes a student project, "Coordinated Sportswear," for which students are to use a limited color pallet with "slightly ethnic," "slightly desert-y" prints. Students then ask questions about the project. The sound quality of this recording is clear.
