at the moment? doesn't necessairly have to be limited to designers or clothing pieces, i find that things like music, paintings, sculptures, historical figures and moments, animals (real or fictional) etc etc can e very inspiring style-wise.
currently im drawing inspiration from
-gustav klimt (http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa314/htyjklm/SEASERPENTS.jpg)
-the work and style of carlos santana (http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa314/htyjklm/santana.jpg)
-silvio rodriguez, his CD "al final de este viaje" is easily one of my top 5 favorite CDs of all time. (http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa314/htyjklm/viaje.jpg)
-white lace (http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa314/htyjklm/FRENCHVOGUE06.jpg) at french vogue 2006 (http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa314/htyjklm/VogueParis06-05.jpg)
-frida khahlo (http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa314/htyjklm/frida.jpg)
-french meets mexican architecture (http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa314/htyjklm/10_5_08_nico_francesca_mex3.jpg)
and more.
your turn!

My clothing is inspired by my desire to not walk around naked.

Right now I'm being inspired by:
Factory Girl (http://www.indiewire.com/biz/IMG_7146_1.JPG) [cliché as hell, I know..]
Blow-Up (http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Arts/Arts_/site_furniture/2007/07/31/blowup460.jpg) [1966 movie, in case you didn't know]
Lou Doillon. (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2274/2335830687_9829470080.jpg) [as a fashion icon, not a designer]
Fafinettes. (http://www.blackpoolmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/couverture2_bassedef.jpg)
& just music in general.
I'm always being inspired by different fashion icons but I'm too lazy to put them all here.

This will sound shallow...but my Women's Wear Daily issues and watching what certain celebrities wear always inspires me style wise.
I also like looking back on certain fashion icons from the 80's, 70's and 60's. I'd name some, but there's lots.

I don't really have inspiration. I just wear what I think looks good on me. I have a hard time finding clothes that fit so I take what I can get. I stay away from things that even look to small. I would rather be wearing a baggy shirt than one that is going to show off what I don't think others want to see.

of COURSE she does. that girl's mother is a fucking saint, she seems so sweet. imagine living in a house where style is something so usual and simply part of daily life.
i'll keep an eye out for ya! unless of course theyre super cheap and my size, in which case, every man for himself yo :chuck:

I wear all around purposeful and simple clothing. The only thing I really use as more than that are my hats.
I wear normal jeans, slightly baggy. Easy to move in, don't get caught on much. Skate shoes, comfy and good for skating. White T shirts, 90% of the time. EVerything goes with white. And then an endless array of hats, beanies, and bandanas.

I have Asperger's, so it doesn't take much! XD
Little things people say, drawings/cartoons, etc. Sounds cliche to say 'life', though such as it is, I'm confident in that answer. Nevertheless, the first two items seem to inspire me the most (I'm scripting a book).
In terms of clothing (seeing as this is the Fashion Forum), I really cannot say. If I see something I like - such as a pair of jeans - I try to picture what I'd wear with them (my choices are usually based on that which the brand of the item calls to mind) and seek to find such an item. If I can't find said item, I will - generally - not buy the jeans).
