Pause to think: creating a fashion collection through music and emotions

Abstract

The human brain is a complex organ. From studies on emotional intelligence, neuroscience, psychology, and others, it has come to be seen more emotionally, making room for studies on thinking that leads to creativity. Thus, this article presents experimental research with a qualitative approach, where a methodology was developed to stimulate creativity through music directed to creating fashion collections. To this end, the literature review was initially carried out; an experiment was conducted where exercises were applied with fash­ ion designers who used music as the only stimulus for their creations. As a result, it was realized that the use of music to boost creativity could be as efficient as the already known and most used sources of visual inspiration.
