Wow. This video was really well done! As a model and actress I love watching bts videos of fashion designers . Successful brands and people are such an inspiration for me to grow and become a better version of myself. My dream would be that one day I'll be working with a talented artist like her! I know I'm just this little freelance model but my dreams are big. Justine is proof for me that if you just keep going you'll eventually make it. So much love to everyone out there struggling to perceive their dreams. ❤️
Just study patterns. They're very instructive. Start with the simple patterns and progress. Mix and match collars, sleeves, hemlines, etc. Sell in a few local stores and progress to larger stores. It doesn't need to be complicated.
Hi Justine, I am in a moment in my life that I have to make important decisions about my career. I am not thaaaat young (33 yy) and I am already architect and urban designer. However I have never worked in my field of study (have been working as children's teacher) because I couldn't find a job. At the same time, I never really felt like really pushing myself to work with architecture and urban design. Recently I started to try different things that I always have been interested (painting, photography, cinema, fashion) in short courses, and by far when I did the short fashion course was the thing that I liked most and felt very inspired and connected. Meanwhile I was admitted to a master program in Sustainable Urban Design (which is something that I believe is very important for the future of the world, ett ett) but I can't forget this will of studying and changing my career towards fashion design. I simply don't know what to do, because if I decide to study fashion I will spend all my savings (I was researching schools and I was pretty satisfied with ESMOD, in Franca, but still not sure). I am really confused, I am just saying a lot of personal stuff for someone that I don't even know hahhaah but I am feeling really lost :(
Really glad to find You at this point of my life although i'm just in the 9th grade...I had decided that i want to become a fashion designer since 5th grade and now a days i'm practicing a lot!!So ur videos are really helpful for me!And a very nice video!
Listen, u r great, really! I'm so glad, that I found u in RU-vid...few weeks ago I presented my final project in Bezalel academy of arts and design..and I'm in quiet panic about how I gonna continue with myself...and your nice tips are calming me down. I feel like I can fined something very right for me when I'll need it! Tnx! P.s. I really like frenchness))) u r cute)
+Darya Fox hi there! Thank you :-))) Actually I try to hide my accent so that everybody can understand but I think it is hopeless... I'll be having a French accent for the rest of my life ;-) Good luck with your career, I am glad that you find my channel useful!
Very helpful. I will have to watch all of your videos! I am scheduled to tour Academy of Arts in SF soon. The tuition is a lot and I'm not sure how it will be possible for me, BUT I will take the next step and see what happens. I can start by learning the basics watching your videos. Thank you for doing all of this.
This is helpfully so that people know what they are in for. You are right about drawing. I am learning that drawing is crucial skills that extend beyond art. Learning to be creative is essential. Many people never think much of art or drawing but now that I am learning it I am having ideas and it applies to everything not just art. I think it tap into other areas of the brain.
+athena energy Shine Definitely. The more ideas you get, the more new ideas they create. So in creativity, "more is more". That's why practicing is key, it trains the brain to see the world differently...
As being a Indian most of the people think these all r silly things That's y i missed a chance of taking fashion as a carrier.... But I love to get a information Your videos are a lot helpful Love you so much 😊😊
I won't becone designer and I have never think of it. I find your tips very helpfull for all the office pople who want to have creative mind and want to remember who they really are :) You are wonderfull 😘
Hey, so i have a quick question. I am currently 16 and am planning on studying to become a fashion designer. The only thing is, i don't know how to sew, and i don't even have a sewing machine... Is it crucial to be able to sew, or can i design my garments, choose fabrics, cut out the fabrics, and then pay someone else to sew them??? Are there people who do that sort of thing?
I'm literally in the same situation,I'm the same age as you and I found out,especially this year that I'm really into fashion and I want it to become a part of my everyday routine but I have so much to learn and I don't know what to do,I just started sketching some croquis but that' nothing...
Your videos are great :D but i have a few questions, so i think maybe you will make a video in which you tell more about Parsons and life in New York, for example: How much it costs study at Parsons? How expensive is life in New York? Something about flats in New York and how much it costs to maintain itself there? What with work in New York? How looks education at Parsons?
Hello Justine I love your videos . Your videos have inspired me a lot I too want to become a fashion designer but I am just studying in school so can you give me some more helpful tips??? It will be a great help
hey Justine mam really glad that ur video flashed on my screen which totally gave me a new direction to learn.!! :) but mam how to begin fashion sketching?? should I start with learning to draw hairs then eyes then lips or any else method??
Thanks a lot... You really inspire me and encourage me ;please don't stop making videos for us.... Am looking forward You talked about studying fashion design but me I can't cause first of all there are no school for this things in my city and its impossible to study in an author country.. Plus I already have studies... Am an English student so am always trying searching for methods , ideas or even people who can help me in studying fashion
Justine Leconte officiel thanks a lot... ND I can't get enough of watching ur videos ; looking forward new ones.... I wish if it is possible of course if you make videos about what fashion designer student study... Like fashion design lessons
Salut! Juste une question...vu que je n'ai pas la possibilité de fréquenter une école de mode, pourrais-tu me conseiller un bon libre à propos de ce sujet? Merci!

Now, due to some of the bad circumstances of my life I need to start my carrier in this line... Ur tutorials r very helpful but I don't know where to go how shud I start my carrier in this line...plz guide me which books n tutorials can help me to start my carrier...
It`s been a while since I was here. Justine I wish to know if you know anything about the fashion school of design in Sweden named "Beckmans" design school? Do you think its a good school to go to? I think I can´t afford Parsons or Saint Martins. And by the way.. Thank you so much for beeing generous and share some important knowledge of the Fashion industry. And right now youre my teacher. Thank you so much. Monica
The things nobody ever talks about is how to actually start your collection. I want to have my own label and I have my degree but there are so many things I still don't know. Where do you sell your clothes? How do you find out where to sell them? Where do you get them produced? How do you know how much money you need to start a label? Also, all of the legal aspects?
I have ruined my eyes using computer excessively. now I can't sit in front of computer for long hours. I have taken admission in Fashion Design Course. what should I do during job ?
really nice video hi Justine, i have love for fashion design and love for textile making but am thinking of going to an institution to get better experience, d problem i have now is the schools here in Sweden is said to feature on one but not both so that means i rather study fashion or textile in different occasion and i don t know which to pick cos i have love for both. kindly advice me pls. thanks and best regards.
+mercy onyeukwu Hi! Difficult question indeed... Here is my personal opinion (others might disagree): I believe that fashion design gives a more global view & working on the entire process makes you become better creatively. And then you can take a few textile design classes on top, on the side. If you go directly into textile design, on the other hand, you might not know what textiles are used for or how the body works - there are fabrics that don't work as soon as you try to drape them on a mannequin & then I always wonder what the point of such fabrics is... So to summarize, I would say that it is better to learn the entire process first (fashion) & then specialise into one area (textile, patternmaking...) at a later stage. Fashion design also makes your profile more "holistic" so you would have more areas of the industry where you could get a job. Now having said all that: if you think you still want to do textile, then go for it, be really good at it & you will have just as much fun! :-)
I'd say yes.. You don't have to be the best sewer but you need to understand what is doable and what not, when you design a garment (and where it will need seams, etc.)
Hello Justine, I would like to ask you to tell your story about how you got into Parsons. How competitive was/is Parsons? And other fashion school? What should aspiring fashion design students do or have/prepare in order to get admitted to world's top fashion schools? Thank you!
hiee Justin thanku you for this valuable video. in the last couple of years , I have developed a keen interest in designing and pattern making. out of mere passion and interest I've learnt a lot of things from tutorials such as yours , books, internet illustrations etc. I can sew and make garments. but I don't have a educational degree in fashion iv graduated from another field. I want to b in the fashion industry. could I get a start by doing a diploma in fashion designing? plzz help.
Hello Justine! thank you for all these inspiring videos! I would like to ask you if know some other way to take fashion design lessons, meaning apart full time fashion school. I have 2 reasons that i cannot attend a typical fashion: I dont have much spare time due to my day jod and i cannot afford at this period of my life to pay for a fashion school. So I was wondering, if there is some kind of open learning,distance learning, online courses/seminars etc. that i could attend? Thank you in advance for your time!
+Katerina hi, I don't know in which country & city you live but you could try to find sewing and pattern-making classes in your city, on evenings / week-ends. Technique classes are better taken "live", not online (in my opinion). Then you can learn fashion history by reading textbooks. Some universities (usually in larger cities) also offer evening classes for working people. As for real online courses, you need to google in your country, in the language you would prefer. It is very country-specific... I hope it helps!

Justine Leconte officiel Thank you Justine. I live in Athens, in Greece and my bachelor studies were in the design field in general (product,industrial, interior and so on..) but always wanted to get involved into fashion... So anyway,..I am actually taking pattern making lessons, I am already in the 2nd year but I am searching also some kind of way to learn how to draw fashion sketches professionally, and why not even get some kind of certification on that... Thank you though for your time!
+Katerina You should be able to find regular drawing classes in Athens where you learn how to draw people, then just adapt what you learn by making the proportions "fashionable" & by drawing poses. Since you are already in design and probably have a good eye, it will be easier for you 😉
I have a question if i graduated from any another field except fashion designing n only learning online then is there any scope to become a fashion designer
+Pradnya sonar hi! Fashion design is applied art... so you need to apply what you learn in order to know (and really experience) what works, what doesn't work, and how to find solutions when you have a problem with the construction of a garment. You need to try fabrics, try sewing techniques etc... Try to get practice to complete what you are learning online! Good luck!
+maram fahad can't tell, I just heard that Instituto Marangoni in Paris (belonging to the one in Milan) has weaknesses and not all teachers are strong. But look at rankings & opinions from alumni, you will get a better feeling specifically for Italy!
there are few tutorials on youtube and on the internet in general as for drawing and sewing basics and techniques...I personally recommend reading books about fashion history designers etc...I know it's very expensive to get a degree but if really want it you can achieve a lot of things yourself.Try to be persistant and focused and don't give up on your dreams!
Justine Leconte officiel oke thank you..actually not reupload your video i mean, i just learn lesson about fashion from youtube channel..and i will make my own video that similar concept with your video.its oke or its not legal too?
I am student of fashion designing,,,,,and i like ur videos,,,,,,,,thanks for help,,,,,,,,,,,,and you are also so sweet,,,,,,,,,,,so cute,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thanksssssss.
+Zahro Safitri I don't know, I didn't study in Paris myself... If you want the "objectively" best school, you can look for rankings. There is a yearly ranking made by Business of Fashion across countries.
+Nathaniel Brianne Corpuz Motea the school plays a role if it is well known, but in the end what matters most is your portfolio - and the skills you master. If the portfolio is good, you will get the job :-)
