    I'm 32 and just getting in tune with my aesthetic and career goals - it can be hard when you have to work for other peoples vision, but eventually you fall into patterns that just feel right

    Thanks Zoe, I have left my design journey for 2 years now since I left school. I had tried but failed to pursue it because of limited finance to do high-end gown. I am rethinking about coming back to start something small first to continue my passion. 😊

    Here's a question for an inspiration related video: How do you avoid falling into the same patterns everytime you try to seek new inspiration? For example, whatever i look at i always end up going back to the same silhouettes & colours. Fantastic & helpful video as usual thank you so much for sharing it with us!!

      Repetition doesn't make you boring...it makes you an expert. As long as it's not literally the exact same thing. Add little changes.

    Great to see you back (youtube didn't show me you're earlier uploads from a few weeks ago), I especially enjoyed the first 9 minutes where you spoke about the DNA of a brand and how it's interpreted by whoever is at the helm and it'd be an interesting video/set of videos if you did a deep dive of a house and how new creative heads have retained the hallmarks of the original creators while also adding their spin e.g. how Daniel Roseberry has referenced Schiaparelli's connection to surrealism/Salvador Dali or how Sarah Burton has went all-in with the romanticism Alexander McQueen infused into his clothes but they've lost a lot of the bite/edge.

  • @TheGrifhinx
    @TheGrifhinx 2 роки тому +1

    I love how you pretty much mentioned here the concept of the "minimum viable product", which really is a critical component for not just fashion brands (that are businesses in their own rights; we should all treat them like businesses) but for all kinds of businesses that are at the startup level and are just getting ready to run out into the world.
    It's a cute idea if, out the gate, one plans and manages to turn up with some kind of a "collection zero" of sorts (like to declare their codes and whatnot), but it just takes on so many risks that - you basically have to worry now about multiple pieces and products selling enough and/or grabbing enough attention. And that tends to be overwhelming and potentially unmanageable for anyone who's not only new to fashion but specifically to the business side of fashion.
