I have to say I have been all over the Web for YEARS and you have the most informative fashion channel on here!!! I know alot of younger viewers will find you more help than any others they can find!! Thank you so much for your knowledge. I love this channel. I say it every time I know. I just want you to know how much you really help!!!
@@zoehongteaches Please keep making these videos! I will be sharing with my fashion students. I say a lot of the same things, but I feel like your videos help show that I am not crazy lol
Yeah! I feel like it is unfair to expect fashion designers to also be professional sewists. Each has a distinct set of skills and talent involved and its awesome if you can do both really well but why should you have to be a pro sewist to be a fashion designer? No one expects an architect to also be a builder. But yes you def should have at least some knowledge of the construction process if you are going to be designing it👍
I'm a brazilian student of fashion design, sorry if i write something wrong here! But, my teachers on university they say things EXACTLY you say, like: stay away from "fashion inspirations" in the moment of moodboard or start a new creation. And thats the true more true that i learned! Love your channel!!!
i had literally no idea about the design process and was super stressed about creating a portfolio for college; i'm 2 videos in and have already learned SO much. thank you everything, you're a lifesaver.
I'm here watching because F.I.T. requires I make a mood board to inspire illustrations for their fashion design admissions. And being a fine arts major in community college currently, I have no idea how to make a moodboard or draw fashion sketches. This video taught me I was going about my mood board all wrong this week. I picked 2 photos I took from my trip to Morocco and wanted to create a board focused on the bold colors I saw and geometric prints. So I attached to a foam board my photos of the gardens I saw with bright colors in Morocco next to geometric shapes from magazines of dishes and furniture. And I laid out strips of fabric next to it. I basically confused my friend who is a graphic designer professionally and uses moodboard for work. I skipped all the steps and went straight to the board with an idea in my head lol
OMG! where were you all my life? I am not even necessarily interested in fashion, I graduated print making,but the way you explain gathering inspiration is universal. I could,and I did listen to you for hours. Thank you.
you are amazing!!! I've been struggling so much with the technical part, specifically in the research book/moodboard. some how I missed the sense completely on how to do it. my college is one of the best at fashion design and yet you managed to explained it better to me that my teachers. you deserve heaven 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Hello from Ukraine ! I really want to thank you for all the information that you are sharing! Because in my university I'm studying for a technologist of cloths ( idk if this is the right name for what i mean) but ukrainian educational programme made my course full of no needed information ( history , high maths , and all the stuff i dont need at all ) so I have only one lesson once in two weeks related to fashion , clothing and design . So I have to study on my own and search for the info . Thanks to you that I've found all the info for free , lots of inspiration !! You're best! wish you lots of love , luck , and all the best things you could imagine !!!
omg... extraordinary chickens is my LIFE. I got that book when I was 15 years old and it is like...to this day my favorite book of all time. It made me who I am today. Its so beaten up now because i won't stop looking through it
Hi Zoe I just felt like letting you know that I appreciate your time and effort the whole sharing what you know is hard but highly appreciated. Many things you have said I was already doing and had no idea it was learned in fashion school. I out of nowhere decided to have a little shop and sell handmade items and noticed my mind was craving to be able to express and so far I’ve done well but I would like to educate myself more so I can do better. I started in 2008 but lost almost so many family members that I threw myself into depression and quit designing and sewing and over a decade after I’m barely getting my shit together but getting back into it. Thank you for having a channel. It helps a lot I’m getting more organized with my ideas now, I’m your student foreva now! Thank u!
hi Zoe Hong, i m Parneet from India. I m pursuing Ph.D in fashion (just about to finalize the topi). i watch your videos everyday. they are so so soooooo useful and helped me a lot. i mean i follow other illustrators too, but your videos inspire me. so i just wanted to take a moment and appreciate on the behalf of all the fashion students out there who watch your videos and learn. thank you so much ! you are the best online design process teacher.
wow this is the best channel ever thanks Zoe.Im into fashion designing and ive lately been so confused on where to start for my bridal collection .You have surely enlightened my day......you surely deserve endless blessings. regards.
After 18 years I am finally getting my ass in to gear, facing my fear of failure and just enrolled in a Fashion Design course. I have to say a massive thank you you videos are massively helping me! I have watched a few now feel less overwhelmed. My biggest worry though is that I used to be great at drawing, especially fashion figure however, I had a Stroke almost 3 years ago which affected my right side and I struggle a bit with my fine motor skills, I can still write and draw but not as well as I used to.... Will this hold me back in the Fashion world?
Drawing is the last thing you should worry about when designing. Since technology is so big these days, you should focus more on sewing and pattern making (in my opinion)
i think as opposed to actually feeling like i need a starting point bc i'm lost, i needed a starting point and an example of a process because i'm almost TOO eager to just immediately dive into what i believe the design process is and start sketching clothes and pinning things to a model and poking my fingers raw with needles haha so what i'm trying to say is that this video was SUPER helpful bc it really grounded me in the reality of what the design process is actually like and i feel a lot more confident and more so prepared to start a project now that i know this info. thank you so much for teaching this!!!
I just watched a bunch of your videos, don't know why I find them so interesting even though I'm a graphic designer/illustrator and have nothing to do with fashion but your creative process it's so inspiring
I’m about to start a fashion design study in the Netherlands and I was looking for a youtuber like you to help me prepare for the things that I’m about to learn. You really helped me with things that I was affraid I couldn’t do, but now I can. Thank you😊
I loved the video I feel like I'm in a classroom, for the moment I can not afford a fashion course here in Brazil, but I'm really know this area through your videos. Thank you. I await your next video anxious
+rafaela santana Thank you! I'm glad you find my videos helpful. The goal is to post a design process video every 3-4 weeks and then other subscriber request videos in the other weeks.
I have no words to describe how grateful I am for your videos! I had no idea of creating a portfolio for my Fashion School, and they couldn't teach me. But with your videos I could understand each step of it! Thank uuu
Hey Zoe, this is the first video I watch and I loved it. I'm a recent graduate designer and I'm gaining experience through internships. You give me a glimpse of what fashion design's real world is like after school, I don't feel that lost when I listen to you, you also make it very easy to understand. Thank you!!!! Please make more videos.
SO happy I've found this channel!! Love how you break down and structure the topics. I'm self-taught/diy and this playlist has already helped me a TON!
Im a digital media student pursuing a career in motion graphics, vfx and video editing. This video was extremely helpful.. especially since I've never done a mood board and am still having difficulties understanding what a mood board should look like. "Dont be so literal" was the most obvious statement I should follow but still struggle with it. Baby steps. AWESOME VIDEO! Thank you for helping out.
Hi Zoe, you are really my true fashion mentor since I followed you in 2019! Love every one of your videos. Watching them makes me smile and really love fashion more and more.
Thank you for sharing. Before I thought to flight to London to start the short course to learn how to develop my ideas and start portfolio. I'm totally a beginner. Watch your videos really help me save time and money. I really really love sewing and drawing. I don't care own luxury clothes or bags or anything. But the design completely attracts me. I really love fashion design because I dream one day people can wear my ideas on their body and they look confident and beautiful.
I love your tutorials! You are one of my favorite, very informative and very interesting and really get into the subject matter at hand. Fashion was always my passion and you really inspire me
I’m new to visual communications and I’m absolutely loving your channel!!!!! I’m so happy I found you 😍 you’re so smart and creative and funny and I love how you respect the library like me lol ❤️ keep doing what you do!
I just discovered you channel and I'm just starting to learn about fashion designs and slowly SLOWLY building my brand & learning everything on my own and I just have to say this is the most helpful and amazing discovery I could have made right now. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
I finally started studying fashion design seriously and even though it's very daunting, these videos are really helping me out since I'm an absolute beginner. Thank you so much for all you've done for the fashion community!
You're just a gem of a person or more than that for sure... I've done my fashion designing but still I'm learning so much from ur sessions ❤ lots of love and God bless you ❣❣
I so get this! I'm a graphic designer and some of concepts transfer over. I was was able to take a few fashion design courses in college. I have a degree in graphic design but I've always wanted to be a fashion designer but there wasn't a complete program in my area that I could attend and afford at the time I was going to school. Now I'm determined to follow my dreams! I can't thank you enough for this Zoe! I use to read Verbal Croquis (by way of Fashion Incubator)a few years ago and I was stoaked when I saw that you were teaching tutorials online!!!
Hahahaha omg a verbal croquis reader! Hello and welcome to the channel! Yes, a lot of concepts I teach have crossover content and I have a lot of students who aren't in fashion at all. Good luck following your dreams!
I really love and appreciate your channel! I have been working on surface pattern designs and recently I have been drawn to designs that work for forms, so your channel is perfect for me to learn more about design for fashion. I am not really into wearing/keeping up with fashion clothing for myself, but for surface design I am really enjoying it!
I love watching you explain things and end with some funny explanation. I also learn a lot about mood boards as I was going to create my first collection and did not have an idea where to start.
i have no interest in becoming a fashion designer or doing it as a hobbie tbh, but as someone that has had the idea of being a freelancer illustrator on my free time, this is a wonderful method to build a good concept for composition and color scheme. Thank you very much! (Sorry for the bad english)
Hi Zoe, (you share the same name as my tutor) You're amazing! What you've mentioned in this video just "hit the nail on head." I am a seamstress, who's also doing a fashion textiles and surface design course, a specialist in machine knitting; Pretty stuck with my idea development at this stage. Not to mention the demotivation factors from the personal issue and the death of my black cat 2 weeks ago. Anyway, you have inspirational great positive vibes and I will get to my work now. Will look around and about, so THANK you so much! xx
"We need you to write a script about fashion design" "What?! I don't know the first thing about fashion, I wear socks with sandals!" *Zoe descends from the heavens in a storm of extraordinary chickens* Maybe I can do this.
I am so grateful I have found your channel. I know I want to teach myself fashion design and make my own clothes and I am really going to treat this like school. You are a great teacher this is the first time I really want to take my time with something. Thank you so much 😊 I consider you my fashion design sensei lol 🙏🏾
its been soo long I always wanted to learn about mood boards in sorted ways, and you was really amazing, I can now proudly start working on mood boards to improve my skills further.
Not a designer/design student, but I have been thinking I need to create more opportunities for creativity in my life and just loved watching you working in your sketch book, gave me some ideas. Thanks!
Before i complete this video i wanted to tell you that you’re amazing ! I’m already subscribed to your channel from a while but i was searching for how to make a mood-board and i found your video and other videos But you are really special ! Very detailed and have a sense of humor a cute teacher and have a good way of delivering the information Thank you Xxxxx ♥️
I’m brand new at this but for some reason I’m really drawn to woven fabrics. I like the feel of the non-stretchy thickness. I like the feel of how vintage clothes hold me snugly together. I’m so excited to learn how to fit them with other textures
I found this video a few months ago but didn’t watch it due to the length of video but that was a huge mistake. I wished I watched this sooner because I’ve did a lot of things wrong with making my mood boards the past two years I’ve been in fashion. For some reason it was so hard to come up with ideas and I was wondering what I was doing wrong, the biggest mistake of mine was finding inspo from already made clothes and designs. I have a much better understanding on how to make mood boards now thank you!! (my teacher will be pretty mad at me for procrastinating but hopefully she understands that I did my research this time and I won’t mess up anymore!)
thank you so much for this video, i have seen other mood board videos but the detail with which you go into the subject is so much easier to understand the necessity for this process. i just finished watching your 4 step croquis development.. its so much easier to it this way.
Your videos were so helpful for my first ever concept development and my collection. I got much more knowledge from your channel that I get from my teachers. Thank you soo much for making this kinda awesome videos.
I found your channel like a week ago and Ive been watching your videos everyday! Im applying to fashion school and all your videos are helping so much! Youre such a great online teacher!
Thank you for creating such valuable content. I am beginning in this step today after a very inspiring solo trip to Paris, for the first time. I am elated to begin the process. Thank you again.
Issey Miyake does a great of at taking inspiration from traditional elements of Japanese culture and making it more modern for Men. His textiles are beautiful too.
You are so great! Your video is such great combination of education, experience and love you have for design. It is fun and great to watch. I am studying design management and your videos are really helpful. Thank you very much and please keep going with this great job you do!
Greetings from India :) All your videos are really really helpful ! You know what ? We are made to watch your tutorials in our lectures for inspiration ! And everyone enjoys and learns from them a lot ! :D I love your channel !
Zoe, me again. thank you soooo much for these useful information. I love every single minute of it esp learn how to walk before you run!! Eiei. Oh btw my very first inspiration was iceflake and till nowadays i m still using it sometimes. It is so absurdly addictive and you own a book about it haha.
Wow its so amazing how you comment back to everyone! Also thanks I want to be an artist but sometimes the thought our it is scary but you have really helped!
Happy to help! Usually the scariest things are the unknown things. Research, trying things out, practicing, learning more helps everything seem less scary.
I'm creating a portfolio for design and photography but i want to learn about different artist in perspectives and concepts I love the way you can think of something different then combine it with how others worked also thank you for helping me in going through the process of everything
thank you zoe.. ths is awesome.. i never ws told how th mood boards are made..n wht all we need to keep in mind while creating a mood board.. we were never taught this style of making mood boards.. i have definitely learnt alot from u.. u are jst awesome zoe.. thanks.. 💕💕💕
CHICKENS!!!! I love that book!!! I should spoil myself soon and buy it from a local book store here =)) I love your channel! I'm not a fashion designer or anything, but I do love to draw and unifying ideas to come up with a piece is really a struggle xD
بجد شرحك حلو جدا و فهمت من حضرتك جدا جدا جدا و فعلا شرح حضرتك افضل من ناس كتييييييييييير اوي i love u and ur explanation for all the videos god bless you my best teacher :* :* and hope you understand my Arabic words thank you for your great effort and for shareing your information with all :* :*
Superb... No words to explain.. include every info abt the designing.. if anybody want to know abt fashion designing. Come and sit watch the vedios.. great job.. all supports.. thank you dear
Thank you for your videos. They're very informative and i'm currently following your podcast and instagram. I like your outlook and presentation on things. Thank you so much.
I have to say I have been all over the Web for YEARS and you have the most informative fashion channel on here!!!

+Sarah Longshore You always make my day with your praise. I would never try to stop you! hahaha But seriously, thank you.
Sarah Longshore Trueeee
couldn’t agree more! MOST helpful fashion youtube channel i’ve encountered so far 😭😭
@@zoehongteaches Please keep making these videos! I will be sharing with my fashion students. I say a lot of the same things, but I feel like your videos help show that I am not crazy lol
..a designer after my own heart. You had me when you talked about the level of respect you have for a designer that can't sew. I concur.
Yeah! I feel like it is unfair to expect fashion designers to also be professional sewists. Each has a distinct set of skills and talent involved and its awesome if you can do both really well but why should you have to be a pro sewist to be a fashion designer? No one expects an architect to also be a builder. But yes you def should have at least some knowledge of the construction process if you are going to be designing it👍
I'm a brazilian student of fashion design, sorry if i write something wrong here! But, my teachers on university they say things EXACTLY you say, like: stay away from "fashion inspirations" in the moment of moodboard or start a new creation.

salve, mana! Esse channel é tudo de bom mesmo
i had literally no idea about the design process and was super stressed about creating a portfolio for college; i'm 2 videos in and have already learned SO much. thank you everything, you're a lifesaver.
love how you explain things. i've been studying fashion design for 4 years now, yet no teacher has given the in depth explanations you give, amazing!!
I ...........FEEL...........SO...........LUCKY............AND...........GREATFUL................................TO HAVE FOUND YOUR CHANNEL
+lovely 11 Aw, thanks! Cheers.
When you brought out the chickens, I subscribed
Just found your channel and I'm obsessed!!!! where have you been all my life!
Haha hello! I've only been around on youtube for little over a year so you're not too late to the party!
I'm here watching because F.I.T. requires I make a mood board to inspire illustrations for their fashion design admissions. And being a fine arts major in community college currently, I have no idea how to make a moodboard or draw fashion sketches. This video taught me I was going about my mood board all wrong this week. I picked 2 photos I took from my trip to Morocco and wanted to create a board focused on the bold colors I saw and geometric prints. So I attached to a foam board my photos of the gardens I saw with bright colors in Morocco next to geometric shapes from magazines of dishes and furniture. And I laid out strips of fabric next to it. I basically confused my friend who is a graphic designer professionally and uses moodboard for work. I skipped all the steps and went straight to the board with an idea in my head lol
OMG! where were you all my life? I am not even necessarily interested in fashion, I graduated print making,but the way you explain gathering inspiration is universal. I could,and I did listen to you for hours. Thank you.
Thanks and you're welcome! I have a ton of nonfashion viewers because, yes, a lot of stuff is universal. Welcome to the channel!
you are amazing!!! I've been struggling so much with the technical part, specifically in the research book/moodboard. some how I missed the sense completely on how to do it. my college is one of the best at fashion design and yet you managed to explained it better to me that my teachers. you deserve heaven 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
+Gemela12 Thank you so much for your kind words. I guess different teaching styles work with different learning styles. :)
Greetings from Kenya, Africa. I'm in fashion school but your videos offer me so much more. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us.

I’m literally so depressed in my designing rut at the moment and this genuinely helped so thank you

But you are really special ! Very detailed and have a sense of humor a cute teacher and have a good way of delivering the information
Thank you Xxxxx ♥️
just cannt stop saying this, your videos are awesome! I am so lucky to find this! Learning step by step !
Thank you! Have fun learning and good luck!
I’m brand new at this but for some reason I’m really drawn to woven fabrics. I like the feel of the non-stretchy thickness. I like the feel of how vintage clothes hold me snugly together. I’m so excited to learn how to fit them with other textures
Thank you Zoe, your videos are really helpful for the people who want to lear fashion design.
it's SUPER HELPFUL Seriously...
to be honest im studing Fashion now but didnt know how to get new inspiration like this way before
Happy to help! Now go make awesome new things! :D
I found this video a few months ago but didn’t watch it due to the length of video but that was a huge mistake. I wished I watched this sooner because I’ve did a lot of things wrong with making my mood boards the past two years I’ve been in fashion. For some reason it was so hard to come up with ideas and I was wondering what I was doing wrong, the biggest mistake of mine was finding inspo from already made clothes and designs. I have a much better understanding on how to make mood boards now thank you!! (my teacher will be pretty mad at me for procrastinating but hopefully she understands that I did my research this time and I won’t mess up anymore!)
thank you so much for this video, i have seen other mood board videos but the detail with which you go into the subject is so much easier to understand the necessity for this process. i just finished watching your 4 step croquis development.. its so much easier to it this way.
Thanks! I'm happy to help!
Your videos were so helpful for my first ever concept development and my collection. I got much more knowledge from your channel that I get from my teachers. Thank you soo much for making this kinda awesome videos.
I found your channel like a week ago and Ive been watching your videos everyday! Im applying to fashion school and all your videos are helping so much! Youre such a great online teacher!
Thanks and good luck!
Thank you for creating such valuable content. I am beginning in this step today after a very inspiring solo trip to Paris, for the first time. I am elated to begin the process. Thank you again.
Legit your channel is so helpful, I'm studying fashion in college right now & creating concepts are my weakness
Thanks! Happy to help!
Issey Miyake does a great of at taking inspiration from traditional elements of Japanese culture and making it more modern for Men. His textiles are beautiful too.
