A mood board is, by its very nature, a personal collection of thoughts and concepts. Designers use mood boards to put collections, concepts, themes together to help guide and edit the design process.

This is a cool project that I want to try! You should too! You can use photos or videos and put them together in google slides or a video editor...
I love these Fashion History Videos.
Here is an easy way to view a Timeline View of these.
Maybe watch a few in sequence and compare and contrast any changes. Think about why they happened?
Then, maybe, draw your favorite fashion piece from that decade. In my sketchbook a few years ago, I started at the beginning and sketched and took notes on the sketch for future reference. Then I would make an updated version of the historical costume.
So many opportunities in this.
