Inspiration

Something that stayed in my mind at the beginning of starting Capiies was: "Where am I going to get inspiration from?" I was always intrigued by how artists came up with those awesome, mind-blowing, original ideas they always seems to have every time they release something. Growing up, I would see creators with so much passion and ambition-musicians, artists, clothing designers, directors, etc…-and wonder, "How do you have such an amazing imagination to bring those meaningful projects into life?"

With time, I came to realize that no idea falls from the sky. Every idea has a process. It starts with just a thought that slowly but surely starts to build up until it becomes real and tangible. A huge part of this process is to draw inspiration from the world around you.

There's no rulebook for inspiration.

An artist could be inspired by any song.

An architect may get inspiration from a flower-filled garden.

A designer can be inspired even by a random street sign.

After all, inspiration is ultimately just whatever helps you develop your idea. It's anywhere you choose to find it, and that's something I see reflected in my own projects, all the way from shows I watched when I was a kid to things as broad and limitless as outer space. To me, inspiration is like fuel. It's the gasoline that gets a project moving, the energy that keeps an idea alive. And with Capiies, every design, every collection, and every piece of art brings with it small pieces of things that once inspired me.
