A variety of looks can be brought together to ill ustrate a bigger idea. The mix itself is an extension of the concept that inspi red each element of the col lection to begin with. Many choices a re involved in designing a si ngle garment, c reating corresponding pieces to put together an outfit, and then doing that n umerous times until you have all the ingredients necessa ry to tel l your fashion story: a collection. The designer m ust think like a stylist and consider how these pieces will go together to craft a bigger, more complex picture. Ask the questions that would help you craft a good story. H ave you a made conscious choice to juxta pose contra sting elements to create confl ict and drama? Is humor woven into the collection that con nects with your audience through witty choices? Is there a sense of harmony in how your choices come together? Does each ensemble feel like it represents a character in your story? Do you have a strong start and an exciting fin ish? The specific decisions a designer makes-putti ng emphasis on what she sees as i mporta nt-will u ltimately set her apart from other designers and their col lections. This process is just as importa nt as the garments themselves, because it places the designer's vision in a context of her own creation.
