Inspiration

I'm researching this week and gathering inspiration.  European Preview was great (in NYC last week) and it got the creative wheels turning, but since the show concentrated on Fall/Winter 2011/12, I'm trying not to get too far ahead of myself.

I'm feeling very influenced by Paco Rabanne.  Hmm, come to think of it, I wonder if Rabanne was the inspiration behind Chris Isaak's "mirror ball" suit that he wore when I saw him in 2006?
