Creativity is priceless in my opinion, one puts a lot of thought to it, a lot of soul to it. On the other hand one needs to buy fabric, pay rent, fashion shows. Fortunately for me, I have a banking experience and have also worked as a credit counselor where creating budgets is very important so that really comes handy.
