I'm 16🙈🙈,(I've been sewing since i was 12)and i sell cute dresses at my high school and to friends. (alot of my friends say i should do fashion but i only do it as a hobby because i want to study nursing😊) I decided to start my own business because dresses at stores are waaaay too expensive, so i create sexy peices for affordable prices because i know how it feels to be broke girl who just wants a pretty dress or to look good at a function or party, and my business boomed within just three days, im so happy but I'm scared because I'm in grade 12(my final year of high school) idk how to focus on sewing by myself and focus on school work 🙈❤️i try to manage my time, my parents really support me. I still need to do my labeling and packaging. I can't wait for this year!!! I'm nervous but I'm going to push myself❤️😊

These questions are not just specifically designed for the fashion industry. These questions are also applicable to a lot of industries. As a businessman, these questions are important to strategic decision making.

@Alove530 5 лет назад

I’m so glad I went into Fashion Merchandising but thank you for talking about this, I learned some things not addressed in uni. I think another good point is to work in retail to learn how a business operates.

@earthgurljen 5 лет назад

Starting my own makeup and fashion company has been my dream since I was in the fourth grade! This video was so helpful so please continue this series and thank you for this advice!

@rivyon1 2 года назад

you are good, Zoe. I watched one or two of your videos a year ago, checking if i can do Fashion design without school cuz i've been dreaming fashion for many years (i'm an artist and graphic designer) but never found a school that matched my needs: evening hours and no sewing involved. I took a serious sewing course many years ago and it just was NOT for me. in any case - i loved your stuff but realized I DO need a course. and sure enough i found one! the ad came to my email! now that i'm almost done with the course (we're up to tech packs now) i came back to your videos and they are so helpful!!! i'm gonna watch one every day. thank you so much!!!

@DreamingCutie 3 года назад

I'm currently doing my economics bachelor and i had several classes where we used the Business Model Canvas. It's basically a canvas to help anyone answer the most critical questions concerning any business, just as the ones you mentioned in the video. A great tool which gives a good overview. Strengths and weeknesses become more obvious this way and can be fixed earlier if needed.

@filip.henryk 4 года назад

Your videos inspire me! I want to become a designer with my own business in the future, with an intent to offer more to men’s fashion, as I have felt so limited to what I can wear as a boy. Thank you!!

@mercuriyal 4 года назад

Zoe I just wanted to say, you honestly are probably one of, if not THE most useful source of information for people who are nervous, new, uncertain in this business. Ive learnt more from you in the past 2 weeks than I have from anyone else on youtube. Please keep on doing what you're doing. You've helped me, and I am sure so many others. THANK YOU!

@internetresident3894 5 лет назад

Good video as always Zoe. You inspire me even though I'm not in fashion, your videos have this thing that I can articulate...they force me to critique my own work and be accepting of other people's inputs. I'm actually currently reading 'Start with why' by Simon Sinek, I recommend it.

@weartheedit 3 года назад

Another gem!!! Zoe, as a business person who has always loved fashion and am now going after my dream of creating my own label, you provide more concrete advice and content than many of my classes at Parsons. If (but really when :-)) my business is successful, it will be due in part to your help and guidance. Thank you so much for what you do!!

@nrlazwa 4 года назад

Done thumbs up Zoe... I feel like having a lectures on fashion without attending a class.. Everyday i watch and carefully focus on your tips sharing... I have no background in fashion. I learn sewing through youtube tutorials and local fb group ( Geng Jahit) in Malaysia. This group gathers tailors and fashion background. I learn a lot from then and from you too.. Thank you for this sharing.. Keep sharing and i will keep watching and take note and share to my friends.. 😍😍😍

@tskinousagi81 4 года назад

Omg. #4. Absolutely. I can do cocktail like it's no one's business. But don't ask me to make jeans with a front fly. Ugh. I like and have a quick hand for invisible zippers. So I lean towards back and side openings.

@EHBRod13 3 года назад

I never knew some companies started out with 2 products. I guess at first it's about really nailing a product that satisfies a customer's needs/wants and then scaling from there? Thank you for this awesome video.

HI Zoe!! I know your talking about serious stuff I was trying to find the video about why you would not ever go on on of those reality fashion shows...truly hilarious anyway cant find it!! Am I not looking in the right place? Cheers from way up North where work boots and Carharts are fashionable. Probably why i love this channel.

Very good points Ms. Zoe Hong! Got a question as I know few local designers(I live in Miami)who do made to measure evening wear but also sell at smaller boutiques. The question for you is with so many options at many price points been made in Asia do you think is a good business to go after that particular sector? Again, thanks for loving Fashion and for sharing so much through your wonderful channel!

@siddharthlall5494 Год назад

Hey Zoe , I love your videos and soak in all the expertise. Would you make a video on the essentials of setting up a small production unit. Like what machines are necessary, what are the overheads and How should one decide and manage the wages .

@zoehongteaches Год назад

It really depends on the product you're sewing. Production for leather jackets is going to be very different from lace slips.

No, hire a lawyer. This is one aspect where you need to spend the money on an expert to do things properly. I'm not a lawyer and I've never run a business in New York.

@NilushiRJ 5 лет назад

Hi Zoe, So want to know your opinion on some businesses that just put out weekly collections without any themes. Like fast fashion businesses. In my country I never see those businesses sticking to a theme in style, color etc. But they sell pretty big, weekly collections include 20-30 styles. So I wanted to know is it really necessary to find an underlying theme for the collections you create, or just go with each piece you design? What do u think?
