Fashion Designer
Topic : CreativityAs a student, fashion designer Sandra Garratt was given a project to design clothing that would go against her natural inclinationsclothes that she didnt like. She came up with a line of economical, one-size-fits-all, modular clothing for women. Garratt moved on to a series of jobs in the fashion industry, but she kept thinking about those clothes shed designed. They intrigued her enough that she eventually began producing them for a boutique in Dallas. Several businesspeople saw promise in Garratts clothes, and in 1986 they invested the money to help her start a nationwide chain of shops. The investment paid off. Within a few years, more than $100 million of Garratts clothes had been sold, and she had made millions in royalties. All because she put her natural inclinations aside and investigated something different.
