Isaac Mizrahi: Fashion and creativity video reflection

Isaac Mizrahi's TED talk video had this unorthodox style to it compared to the other TED talks I have seen so far. Unlike others, he does not express his thoughts clearly in distinct points. Instead, he talks briefly about how and where he draws his inspirations before jumping off to the next topic mid-way through. Nevertheless, the way he speaks and how he delivered himself is what I feel, the very representation of creativity. Creativity does not need to always have clear and distinct points. It can be a train of thought, from one random thought to another. Mizrahi draws his inspirations from his everyday life and that includes his problem: Insomnia. This reminds me about the Julie Burstein video where she talked about how we should embrace our limitations and turn it around to favour us, and that was what he did. He thought about a lot of things from sitting up at night. He also mentioned how he gets bored easily, which allowed him to try a lot of things and come up with better ideas. However, I feel that conversely, boredom works for me too because it allows my mind to wander and find things to do.
