Seemingly inspired by the complex beauty and graceful movements of exotic fish, Rodarte's fall/winter 2008 runway show presented stunning ethereal and flowing dresses.
Trendinista did a great job of pairing these layered dresses with the fish that seems to be the source of inspiration.

Implications - It is definitely hard to create something that hasn't already been done, whether you are in the fashion business or working at an advertising agency. Being super-creative is a must if you want your business to outshine the rest of the competition. The featured collection of dresses is a good example of looking "outside the box" of creative inspiration.
