From the perspective of someone who studied fashion, if other viewers want some advice : the moodboard here is not a moodboard lol
You don't put 4 pictures that are so similar in a moodboard but rather choose other pictures that complete the whole vibe : think about interior design, a movie, a painting, a dancer, a furniture/clothing designer, maybe some food or some type of writing/calligraphy, find a muse... etc
Also you can think about the 5 senses to create the whole atmosphere : what's the scent of the vibe? what textures/fabrics match the vibe? etc etc
Anyway nice work, loved the video, and it's silly to expect from people who didn't go to art or fashion school already to have a complete and interesting portfolio bc WE'RE HERE TO LEARN
Thank you that is really helpful!
I’m applying to FIT and I was wondering if doing interpretive runway looks for my free designs was a good or bad idea. I’m using the idea of archetypes and playing with silloutte and the classic emotional connections we have with them rather than a functional, streetwear style. They aren’t the type of clothing you see out in the world, and are pretty strange. I have no idea if this is good or bad, would you have any advice on that?
@@morganbee1257 hi did you get in
@@morganbee1257 ok so I have a feeling that Morgan Bee already applied but for future people, I think this is good cause as long as you can communicate your designs well through drawing it will probably get you accepted :)
I hate how the school system works because how do they expect you to be good at it (like in order to get in) before going to school for it😭😭
RIGGGHTT!! like how is a 17 year old supposed to be perfect at all of this. it’s pretty frustrating
yeah right! and to get good you need to pay for a course beforehand which not everyone can afford :// its shit
Exactly🥹
Frr
I like half agree.. cause on one hand yes it is pretty hard to teach yourself sewing from youtube videos even though there are good resources. Its just hard to teach yourself sewing.. but also like people who want to get in for fashion design usually have a pretty big interest in it and are willing to teach themselves design skills from free websites like youtube (Zoe Hong is a good channel to start with). As Abby says, she wasnt actually interested in fashion design and therefore didn't do so well.
FIT is not a super competitive school, you just need to prove that you can express your ideas and gain inspiration through research.
So don't worry, do your best and if you don't know how to do something, there are good videos online to watch to get practice :)
you should recreate one of the looks- redraw it or make it in real life :)
I totally would but still to this day I cannot draw or sew
i literally would wear all these designs-
omg thanks bestie 🙈 me too....
This was so fun to watch ❤️ I’m happy you had a learning curve from this
I think this video should be called: Abby bullying herself for 13 minutes straight...
LOLL I definitely was dramatic for the video. I’m proud(ish) of the work I did
love that blue romper you made!!! looks so good!
thank you!!!
i love your look in this vid like the fit with the earrings and eyeliner. everything❤️
thank u !! 💕💕
Okay but the red liner 😍
thank u 😎😎💕
THE EARRINGS. THE SHIRT. EVERYTHING IS JUST ICONIC.
I really like the garment u made! I definitely can see some of the high craftsmanship. And it’s a good thing that u have including the detail pictures. The thing I will say is u need to showing more ur design process. Not just the final looks but also the process that tells people how did u make it. I don’t think the illustration it’s ur biggest problem. I really like ur drawing style. Ur mood board has to tells people ur concept and the muse. Right now it’s just the idea and the inspiration. I believe the school will like to see the concept that can change the world. Therefore, always think about how can u change the world by using fashion when u designing something! Good Luck!!
Missed you queen!!!! 💜💜💜
I missed you back 😌
i found your channel through this video and you genuinely made me laugh hehe you are so sweet and charming
i got into fashion major in high school for 3 years and i can't even draw and sew like AT ALL and it turned out to be the most stressful 3 years of my life now i'm taking english literature in uni
oh i haven’t even started watching but i’m excited
🥺❤️
ur stunning in this vid 🥺🥺
😌 thank u
I REALLY like your designs and sketches.
Oh gurl... 😭 this inspired me to go practice my drawing more
Wow I loved the blue romper it’s so cute
:))) thank you!!
Can you make a video about your accepted ones asweelll? Your vids rreally great and fun btw🥰✨
im applying soon and my anxiety is through the rooooof because i can’t draw 🥸 lit
THANK YOU SOO MUCH ALSOOO THAT PORTFOLIO WAS HORRIABLE 😂😂
ugh they missed out the designs are so cute
i can’t believe i’ve been subscribed to that
long
you’re a real one thank u
My opinions on the sewing to help people here
Garment one: looks like theres some puckering on the waist. Comes down to pressing the fabric and topstitching carefully.
The facing on the neckline is also showing. Make sure to snip the seam allowance at the corner and pull/ press carefully. Otherwise, a very good dress. But I maybe wouldnt have done a princess seam.
Garment 2: very impressed with this. However the bust point isnt rounded off enough. It looks like you did darts rather than a princess seam but i could be wrong. I also wouldve rounded off the armholes a little more if the harsh corner wasnt intentional. Attention to detail when photographing is impotant so make sure everything is ironed nicely.
Also about your illustrations: i love the artstyle so much and it looks intentional to me, although you was missing design development for each of your designs.
(The moodboard was also not a moodboard)
okay but your eyeliner 🔥
thank u!! 💕
I appreciate your video, i always feel bad for how terrible mine is. I think your's is great :)
I would so buy the blue romper
oh yay 😇
LOVE YOUR ATTITUDE
If you are not doing fashion designing then what is your major?
what is your major now?
If you got denied then I have no chance at getting in
these are cute, but did no one else pick up on the fact that 65%+45% just isn't right? hahaha
Now I'm actually scared af
Same😭
I have a doubt Should we show the back view in an additional figure or is it ok show as flats.
it depends on your uni requirements, but as for FIT, flats are okay (for back views in the first part) as well :)
So, where did your 'redirection' take you?
Did you got accepted at FIT??
hey, can u tell me where did you buy that table and mirror behind you (if you can link site it would be awesome)
love your outfit and earnings
both are from facebook marketplace so i’m not sure :/
If this didn’t get in then I’m in trouble help😀
Same 💀
Where have u been ms Edwards!!!!😋😋
drowning in school 😔 but it’s summer so i’m back 😁
I there any profession that is just designing clothes, shoes, jewelry etc... And not actually making it ? Anyone ?
I think it’s just fashion illustration
omg hi ! how are u ? ✨✨✨✨✨
I am good!!!! how are you ellie
nooo why did your drawings look like the american girl a smart girl's guide illustrations IM SORRY
How old are you? Do you think maybe your age is why you might had also gotten rejected ?
Your moodboard is very bad
