Welcome to my newest series: Watch Me Design A Fashion Collection. It's a little self-explanatory. I'll be designing a collection, sometimes I'll narrate a lot, talk you through my process, sometimes I'll just let y'all watch me work.
I follow the Fashion Design Process I teach in schools and here on RU-vid, but this series won't be a 1 video = 1 step in the design process format. I'mma go as slow as I want!
In this first installment, I discuss what I've been finding inspiring lately and how I go about collecting images.
If you want to learn the Fashion Design Process, check out this playlist here: • Fashion Design Process
Watch the entire Watch Me Design A Fashion Collection series here: • Watch Me Design A Fash...

I like the idea of hyper femininity and masculinity in fashion that is completely separated from gender and works for both men and women. The meshing of the two as well can be really fascinating.

@yuvan1999 7 лет назад

YES!!! YESS!!!! YEEESSSSS!!!!! This is one of those videos I never knew I wanted, but now that it exists, I FRICKIN NEED it to survive!! Even though your Design Process series was INCREDIBLY helpful, seeing someone actually go through the process of designing a collection would be an absolute perfect way to learn, in my opinion! Simply cannot wait to see how this series (and your collection) goes!!! And thank you so so soooo much for making this series!!

@yuvan1999 7 лет назад

I' in LOVE with that BORO book. I hate waste. I hate all of the clothing in the landfills. I hate new garments that constantly use new fabrics which the fabric process wreaks havoc on our environment. This Japanese style is right up my ally. It's beautiful, it's charming, It's a story, it's alive!

Geologist here! I love how you're looking at the minerals with their forms and textures. You would be surprised how gorgeous the world of geology is especially when you learn terminologies and structures of formations. I feel like you should take a look at thin sections especially perthites, antiperthites, microcline, and albite because they have some cool structures. Calcite and fossils in thin sections show geometric shapes with roundness, structure, and flow. I think you would love copper bearing minerals of all sorts from carbonates, oxides, sulfides and more. You might also like labradorite, vivianite, vanadinite, dioptase, potch opals, and ALL the Jaspers.

@TheFashionRunUp 3 года назад

Yes! A daily uniform is everything! I don't wear the exact same thing every day, but similar variations of colors and silhouettes, which helps me quickly create solid outfits that I know work so I can run out the door! Also, I'm a fashion designer but rarely create full collections from start to finish and need this refresher! Like you, I also miss designing full collections. So trying to do it more often on my own!

In 'Bengali" culture, traditionally women makes comforter for the winter time by using damage or used old clothes by using patchwork strategy and they put their cultural floral handcraft embroidery and storytelling work. It's fascinating to noticed that they realized the sustainability and giving artsy beautiful cultural nostalgia to the used or damage clothes.. Thank you so much for your beautiful touch in details... Very greatful to your dedication.. GODSPEED. ❤️❤️✌️

Zoe, we've had that style in WA state. It's a great idea to think of the apron as an accent statement piece. It didn't catch on widespread, but I'd totally rock that look again! Please do it!

@zoehongteaches 7 лет назад

I've been poking through what leathers I have in my studio to make an apron for myself! With pockets!

@Danadane314 7 лет назад

Ive been working in second hand stores for the past years. I love finding random objects and stuff. its a gold mine for creativity. You find aesthetic in fabric, old books, jewellry, interior. And they have a history to them. Sometimes you can see which decade the clothes come from. Id definitely take that thrift mentality with me in the future, haha. Also, great for sustainability and non binary! which is what i think is the direction fashion will take in the future.

@theresakern7125 4 года назад

I admire you so much! I love aprons too, especially carpenter style aprons. I always wear an apron of complementary color. For me it's about the color and the convenience of the pockets. Aprons are part of my daily outfit, and I wear there everywhere always. The only trouble I run into is when I'm shopping. "Excuse me, m'am. Where is the..." Even though I wear aprons and attire that look nothing like the store employees, because I have an apron on, people assume I work wherever I'm shopping.

@zoehongteaches 4 года назад

Love it! Love carpenter aprons. It's like that rule, don't wear a red shirt at Target or people will think you work there. hahahaha

Hey Zoe, do you know the Marve channel? She makes videos studying, you could do something like that, designing but without speaking, just showing the process, with the noises of the leaves, scissors, pencils, etc. It would be like an ASMR but fashionable :D ♥ That would be very inspiring for both fashion design students and designers. Many times I find myself without time to sit down to design, because of the running around at work and so on. Seeing others designing and taking the process seriously is encouraging.

@elian3084 7 лет назад

Finally, someone busting the myth that those who don't do, teach! Will this series also include the pattern making/sewing part or will it be purely conceptual?

@zoehongteaches 7 лет назад

Undecided. I plan on taking it as far as there's enough interest. I'm designing as if I were mass producing it, but I usually do that anyway.

@zoehongteaches 7 лет назад

However, I won't be doing the construction. I would hire people, which is what I've done for most of my career.

@elian3084 7 лет назад

I see. Well, construction phase or not, this is an incredibly useful series and I am so glad you of all people thought about shooting it. I'm not much of a collage-type-of-guy myself (design inspiration is more mood-driven in my case rather than visual references), but I still think the lessons learned throughout this series are priceless. The world really needs more fashion designers like you, who can create stunning garments while practical to wear at the same time. ^.^

Japanese traditional pockets are in their sleeves. Hence the sleeve shapes. They do not have European/Western pockets. Spent 3 months in Japan years later spent another 6 months as an IT contractor.

How do they not feel paranoid that something will fall out? I own and wear traditional kimono often and I don't think I'd feel secure...

I love that you're inspired by the patterns. They are very graphic, but I also get this vibe, which I enjoy particularly myself, of taking inspiration from the process of the craft aspect of what you're doing. The art about art concept I guess, and purposing something about the process that's typically not presented in the finished product and using it as inspo

OMG Zoe, I started a brand with the vision of it being gender neutral and all inclusive, with a similar mindset you explained in this video. I came out with my first collection, but the process was so difficult and I thought I had cursed myself by trying to do a unisex brand (trying to think of fits, colors etc that didn't lean too much one way or the other). But I feel like stumbling on this video was the push I needed and the confirmation that I should stick with my original vision. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Every start-up struggles, regardless of customer gender. Don't let that be the thing that stops you!
