Sometimes you need to proxy your django dev server with nginx without disabling DEBUG.

You can collectstatic everytime you change it, but not me :-)

This configuration tries collected static files folder first and fetch it via your django dev server if nothing found in collected.

ps: @django is your named nginx location for proxing django requests.
