This article presents an exploratory study on the relationship between listening to music, its emotional stimulation, and its influence on creativity applied to fashion design. The work contributes to surface design with an emphasis on prints, as well as to clothing design according to the principles of sustainability (aligned with the 2030 SDGs, with the use of textile waste and scraps for new creations). Through action research methodology, the study explores how emotions induced by listening to music can lead to a state of mind (mood) in a way that enhances creativity when developing new textiles with prints and designing clothing pieces, aiming to understand the emotional effects resulting from this interaction. Thus, the objective is to understand how listened music can stimulate emotions in the participating students, and how these emotions would translate into creativity through sketches and drawings for application in surface design. The quantitative and qualitative results contribute to a deeper understanding of the connection between music, emotions, and creativity in fashion design, by providing valuable insights for professionals and researchers in the field.
