Creative Burnout for Fashion Designers

[@Flaubert]

I am an editor for a magazine and the amount of time it feels glamouros is 0.1% of it

[@saint.hudson13]

I was signed to FORD & I concur.

[@markusmulder_]

We should asume you are an editor for a fashion magazine and not just “a magazine”. Whoever thinks working in the fashion industry is glamorous has never worked a day in it. But than again I think that applies to any industry that is perceived as “glamorous”. Just think about HOLLYWOOD and how nasty that environment is. No wonder it’s tied to fashion.

[@Taichientaoyin]

​@@markusmulder_ have you worked in Fashion, dear? 😮 I love Fashion, love. I want to design 😢

[@markusmulder_]

@@Taichientaoyin yes I have and for many years now. I’ve worked for major intl fashion brands and it wasn’t at all what I thought it would be as a young aspiring designer. It is mostly a very toxic environment. It is competitive but not in a healthy way whatsoever. Glamorous would not be the first thing that would come to my mind honestly. It is an industry and if you want to do it well my advice is that you really get interested in the technical part, how to make clothes, be knowledgeable about materials , about techniques and so on. Learn how to make patterns and drape on a mannequin and know how to fit a garment properly. Learn about gar,ents and their history. Also I would advice you to sew garments and learn the difficulties and possibilities. Learn to sketch and convey your ideas well that can be applied to a wearable sellable garment, but be warned the companies or bosses you’ll work for, and also the final customer, will want it to be “new” and “different” and “young” but also wearable, washable and affordable but with great quality, so good luck with that ! If you go into it for the glamour you’d be doing it for the wrong reason. Fashion as a full time career is not what you see in a magazine nor in a fashion show. Personally I find preparing a fashion show one of the most nerve racking experiences. You have to be a bit mad to do it and if you’re not already you end up being it. It really depends what your goals are and what part of the fashion business you want to work in. Don’t expect inclusivity as the fashion world likes to virtual signal to because it is one of the meanest environments you could be in. Good luck and careful what you wish for.

[@sidra5621]

I’m pausing in the middle of the video to write this comment, this video really showed up just in time. Completed my bachelor’s in fashion design in 2022, immediately got scouted by a brand as a head designer but was extremely underpaid, signed out of it and started my own bespoke business in 2023 while also preparing a portfolio for masters, applied to CSM and LCF in 2024, git rejected by csm even after spending a whole year on preparing the portfolio ( and I totally understand why they rejected me, if could be that I’m not suitable for their course just yet and so I’ve decided to apply again by the end of this year ) but overall, all of this left me so drained that I feel blank every time I go to my studio. Like I used to overflow with ideas, my graduate collection was featured in magazines. But now I really look back and feel like damm how did I do that? Where did those ideas go? Literally my brain has stopped functioning, and it’s not like I don’t love clothes, the process of creation I still do. Just that I feel very directionless. Ultimately, I know I’ll get back into the zone but this video really made me reflect and look deeper into why I’ve been feeling this way. So a big thanks for the advices it was much needed ❤🫂

[@boutheinamohamed9138]

Heyy could you possibly send me your portfolio that was rejected by cam? I’m wanting to apply as well and it would be helpful to my process. xx

[@VuNguyen-fv5jl]

I’m burnt out of fashion as a consumer. Too much output with mediocre creativity

[@nommh]

Fashion is dead. Shopping mall clothes mostly have runway ideas in homeopathic doses and we all know homeopathy does not work. Runways show (sometimes barely) wearable concept art. And then there are people who dress creatively. You don‘t really need designer clothes to dress creatively, but runway is so inspiring!

[@ruud6828]

best thing to do is to save and shop from upcoming and small designers. They’re still very expensive, but if you find a good deal (on ssense they’ll sale) the quality is there.

[@lingy74]

I’ve decided to make my own clothes last year and I’m not allowing myself to buy anything other than underwear and workout clothes. So far I’ve made 6 items and let’s just say while my seams aren’t perfect, my clothes fitting me perfectly and being able to choose high quality materials like silk-cotton and Indian hand woven fabrics already makes them look so much more expensive than high street stuff. And the materials cost is so much cheaper. The only investment is time but I’ve been very obsessed and sew about 20 hours a week. It’s so fun. But I think everyone should at least learn to alter and get creative with clothes if they’re into fashion unless you really can afford the expensive labels.

[@gonzalosoler7419]

I know Daniela doesn’t enjoy being on camera but i really enjoyed her participation during the filming. It shows you both share a deep passion and it’s really cute.

[@mikeletaurus4728]

Daniella is correct. That first impression -- the opening look --- says everything you need to know about that designer's output in the present moment of time. This is why the enduring designers evolve, but they retain a visual through-line from season to season. They rarely destroy everything and start over from scratch. That isn't necessary, and it can bring on burnout. Change is the only constant in life, but it can be a gradual unfolding of intellectual intent, and not necessarily a dramatic, explosive event. This all sounds rather highfalutin', but I don't know how else to put it.

[@inlovewithgoats1092]

As someone whose absolute go to colour combination is white and pink, I am deeply offended and will never forgive you. Aside from that, great video as always! Daniela's speaking parts are getting longer and more confident with every video, you didn't lie when you said her input is great.

[@jamesrobinson3175]

Please start a podcast there is no one that does fashion information like you, and I just want something to listen to on my runs

[@sustylery]

What Daniela said about the colors is soo spot on! People try to make the darkest color - black - work with the most vibrant hues. Amy Smilovic from Tibi is teaching a lot about the use of color on their social media channels, which i am so thankful for. I learned a lot from her. If you would do an interview with her some time, that would be so cool to me, because I love her and your social media presence so much

[@sidviscus]

I'm gay and I used to be into theatre, so I used to assume that all guys in theatre were gay because I couldn't fathom being not gay and into theatre. Same with fashion, because I like fashion and I'm gay. Later I found out that actually the vast majority of males in both of those industries are straight. It made me realize it was myopic of me to assume other people's identities based on who I am and what I like.

[@VuNguyen-fv5jl]

These cis men invading queer spaces i stg

[@BrigidHigginsAMDG]

Think it’s a great example of how strongly preconceived cultural stereotypes can remain, whether or not they were even true in the first place (the ratio of gay to straight men in theater is another perfect example) and how greater than proportional representation at various points might lead people to falsely think that one automatically has to be associated with the other (as if only individuals who are gay or male belong in fashion; or, alternatively, that all gay male identifying individuals *must* be into fashion, theater, etc., in a narrow, boxing-in sort of way) - as someone who grew up always assuming the same thing, it’s definitely a bit of a wake-up call that identities are the last thing we should be able to automatically slap on people because of their occupations or interests 😅

[@Lucretciela]

NO!!! I will NEVER, EVER burnt out on fashion. You're not alone Bliss. I, too, am completely obsessed with designer fashion. I scour the RealReal for used & new pieces, also Saks, Net-a-Porter, Bergdorf's etc. etc. for designer sales on new items. I now have an amazing collection of Owens, Yamamoto, Dries Van Noten, The Row, Ferragamo etc etc etc..... Can't imagine the cost had I purchased all at full price, from the original shops, most DEF over 150,000K My ex used to say, and many times over--- "by the time you're 70, you'll be a walking Diane Arbus photo..." which to him it meant---- Old women with devious scowl, on bench in Central Park, Manhattan. Decked out: All black Yamamoto, black leather-over knee Owens platforms. The Row- full length cashmere with huge, black wool, Gucci scarf to cover neck wrinkles). Outlandish Celine, sunny's with a few, huge metal, Owen's chunk bracelets & an over the top Gucci hat. Ohhh... And a pair of full length black leather & net gloves, holding lit cigarette to nicely wrinkled, redder than red lips... " Just thought I'd throw all that gibberish in.

[@karmica7591]

I do this too all the time, but I’m so glad that I watched that specific video while I was doing boxes for my very imminent move (-2). And guess what, I’m about to do the same with some of their older FW stuff to get shit done, I have found this channel recently and I’m obsessed. I’m trying to stop waiting to watch stuff unless I really don’t have the time and I can’t tell you how much great content I’ve enjoyed lately. Like from here, for example!

[@carbonsiren]

On the topic of burnout, it was soo poorly handled on the new Galliano documentary. Dior and Bernard Arnault were exempted from the pressures they were putting on the team, and burnout was treated as a tortured genius's disease, with no structural causes.

LOL. “Black and like green. Black and hot pink. Black and sky blue” - literally three of my favorite combinations. The juxtaposition is urban and futuristic, and allows the bright neons to truly pop and speak; clearly not either of your tastes, but I can’t stand combinations like brown and green, which is featured above in your video, and obviously your tastes- beauty really is all subjective 😛

[@googly9427]

I love pink and white

[@ashisburning7786]

I understand your problems with seeing safety pins. I actually feel the opposite way which I think is really interesting. I LIVE for fashion pins being used on runways, especially if they are actually being used functionally to hold the garment together. Where it breaks the illusion for you it deconstructs the very idea of what a “look” is for me. It brings into question what we even count as clothes and the incredibly high standards we hold for them materially speaking. Most of us won’t be caught wearing a garment that is held together by a safety pin, just out of convenience, but seeing someone else doing it makes me realize that the very definition of a “garment” is both subjective to the person designing it and relevant to how “well” the concept is executed. If the safety pin does a shitty job at helping the execution then that’s where I can understand feeling out of the illusion, but when it’s right, it feels SO right. My mind goes to the black Versace dress Elizabeth Hurley wore in the 90’s and a recent Jean Paul Gaultier (2022 I think) white dress with a heart, so stunning and both a “practical” (most people aren’t really going to prefer wearing clothes kept together by safety pins unless it works perfectly) and fashionable use for safety pins.

[@Merdle]

Amazing comment. From safety pins to the deconstruction of the very idea of "clothes" and the difference in gaze between creator and beholder. Loved and learned from it. Thank you.

[@sariahmarier42]

17:59 LMAO the safety pins... 😂 when it takes all of two seconds to whip stich it.

[@lukedickinson5236]

Being able to find garments in clearance was a big eye opener for me. Due to the “high quality means high price” perception of fashion made me feel like i would never be apart of the world i enjoy and would never think that garments would be in clearance stores. But when i found a £1000 knitted AMBUSH jumper for £200 it made me realise that i am able to be a part of the fashion world. But i also believe that the perception of always needing to consume and have the next new thing at the high cost forces people into a box. Im not saying that houses shouldnt have high prices as the clothes should be worth the high cost. But searching clearance is always a better option in my opinion.

[@Bakemono_Hime]

1000% wholeheartedly agree with you about Satoshi Kondo. His work at Miyake literally leaves me breathless every time- I can’t tell everyone enough!

[@sadea8440]

[@pheebschen5296]

I'm late to this video but just wanna say that your work will not be in vain, EVER! Just last week I asked chatGPT to summarize one of Blazy's Bottega show in a paragraph (cuz I wanna make sure I got at least some of his design characteristics right) and it replied 'I can't help me right now'. Turns out chatgpt hasn't reached that advancement yet (of interpreting/ comprehending) cuz the thing only identifies based on known-pattern (and a huge database to back their knowledge up). It's also why they always present extra fingers when generating images, they don't actually know/ comprehend what they're producing. In order to do that, they need to know innately what human is, what finger is, instead of operating based on pixels. I ended up reading publications of the shows and come up with it better understanding myself, and that level of satisfaction, chatGPT would also never understand. Humans feel, tech/ machines don't bcs that's not what their intended design is supposed to be. They're just tools to help us. Passionate people like you and Daniella will forever find your place cuz after all, that's the kinda warmth that draws everyone in that only living being can exude from themselves. I hope you and Daniella will get to do this forever!!

[@nommh]

Indeed! Neon and black is very awful. Everything else is a question of the specific hues of colour put together. I really hope you (both) do this forever!

[@stevezytveld6585]

I made a point of buying the Issey Miyake perfume, from that height of fashion fragrance "Shoppers Drug Mart", just so I could contribute something to the house so they can keep doing what they are doing. Defies gravity and looks amazing - if I could figure out how to sew it I'd be wearing my own versions... So innovative, it's amazing. And I agree - burnout tends to be more of a _how_ you're doing the job, not the job itself. Unless you're working for a yell-y-pants toxic human... in which case, run, don't walk.

Iris Apfel said: "In the right tonality, I have never met a colour I didn't like." I am with her, and I think this also applies to colour combinations.

[@davidpachecogarcia]

Satoshi at Issey has captured my attention for a bit now due to the polyester fabric they mainly use being manipulated in a geometric sculptural way but since it’s placed on a body, which doesn’t have sharp edges, and since we move, the garment becomes both fluid and geometric. Idk if that makes sense but it brings 2 contrasting elements nicely together. Plus the shows and marketing material are more conceptual yet playful.

The “play video games a little bit.” Feel that 🤓

[@Lucretciela]

The worst color combinations are when colors vibrate when together. I used to work in animation, and when painting I had to avoid using any two colors that would vibrate when next to each other. Unless your goal is to irritate someone without them knowing why they're irritated, stay away from vibrating colors.

[@debless9]

What does that mean? I'm intrigued.

[@juliettevharris]

I'm pretty sure that has to do with the layout of the design and not the actual color.

3D fashion is what’s used to quickly show what a design will look like, without having to spend time and money to produce, it vastly saves the time spent making product. It is extremely important for the selection process to decide what is developed further and actually chosen to be sampled. It’s increasingly becoming more important in the industry, as it’s showing that it saves time and money for development of the pieces.

[@Gian_Valkiri]

I'm a pattern cutter and 3d software is a very good method for testing pattern, big fashion companies use, but if you go for more local manufacturer is not a skill they require you to learn

[@IN-rd9oy]

Bliss please don’t tell them to pay attention to Satoshi’s work. Let’s not inflate the price yet lol. Things seem to swing between hype or ignored in our modern society. And if somewhere in the middle can’t be achieved, I’d be happy to find those on the ‘ignored’. On a side note: I think it’s being ignored because Issey Miyake as an organization has a different approach that doesn’t create buzz. It’s not one that hires outsiders to run it; it really has felt like a studio which gives a feel that no one really ‘owns’ it; Satoshi appears to be focused on clothes making than being a persona for the media; etc.

on the safety pin discussion- they make safety pins of all sizes and colors. a multicolored pack of safety pins is a little more expensive than normal ones but those ~3 dollars can save you a lot of headache. idk tho i dont do fashion i just sew as a hobby lol

[@fashionmfsworstnightmare]

3d fashion isn’t really to style as someone who uses it. if you don’t have access to lots of fabric for drafting or aren’t good at drawing you can start there and send drafts with exact measurements to manufacturers. Lots of programs also provide bases you can edit upon so it is a much easier process once you know how to use it

[@daniellord-vera6987]

id say to answer the question about 3d fashion and career to the person who asked the question i think were in the early stages of 3d fashion and careers in the sense of companies are slowly adding 3d advertisements with 3d clothing into the marketing departments, installations for stores, pattern making for samples at the companies, i currently use clo3d and blender software for those projects for now its still in development to answer that question.

On the subject of new designers, I think that it's because of a mix of obscurity and weak brand image. Understandably, it's impossible to support a designer that you don't know exists. Also with the sheer amount of designers on social media, one would need to sieve through a lot of trash to find any gold. Also, industry professionals really don't like attending low budget shows, so it's better to put that budget towards lookbooks and campaigns, until the designer has the budget to hold a "proper show". Other all, it's always a good idea for a designer to work towards making their brand profitable before seeking industry acclaim.

[@juliettevharris]

The color argument shouldn't be a thing. Every color goes with every color. You just need to balance it out. Like, you shouldn't just randomly through in a color without adding it elsewhere in the design. There are things you learn in design school, and that's one of them. Other tips include using different sized patterns when mixing patterns. Otherwise, the patterns will clash. And, if you have a grouping of something, always do it in odd numbers. For whatever reason, it just looks more aestheticly pleasing. Things like that can be explained within the principles of design. Often what happens is that you can feel something is off about the design and so that's when you go to the principles of design and make sure everything is checked off. If you're really good at design, you'll just intrinsically know this stuff.

This causes positional changes up the leg muscle and into the lower back, contributing to back pain, poor posture, and asymetrical tension patterns in the body. Bunions happen when toes are forced into the wrong position. While it's subjective that narrow toe boxes "look better," there is more objective evidence that western fashion adopted narrow toe boxes to make the feet look smaller and less noticeable. Feet have long been associated with filth and illicit feelings of disgust. The whole "ethnic people have big feet because they're barbarians, so let's make our white people feet look itty-bitty." A good designer could make wide/barefoot toes boxes look good. Look at all we can do shaping bodies with fabrics. Why can't that translate to shoes? For someone like me whose last name fittingly and literally means "guy with big hands and feet," I would love to see it done.

Ummm weren't Hermés bracelets part of some makeup company's PR package to influencers just recently? Like Tarte or something?

[@BlissFoster]

Maybe! I don’t think Hermès can control if someone else wants to buy Hermès products and then give it to someone else. I only meant that Hermès themselves do not participate in influencer marketing 💫💫

[@durcheinander5554]

@BlissFoster For sure. Just a fun fact because you mentioned their exclusivity being the allure while for me (a person with a surface-level interest in fashion) the first thing that came to mind hearing "Hermès" was these random people getting their stuff for free. I do think things like this have potential to move the brand image to a more... Louis Vuitton territory ;)

14:00 if you are gay and discovers a man in fashion who is not, you just cry. shouting to the sky "this was the only thing we had!!!"

when you say you write the reviews, do you mean you read pre-written stuff from a teleprompter for these vids? so you bringing up looking for the designers' purpose makes me wonder if there's any inobvious purposes you might have in making these vids. Like I could guess you make them because you enjoy talking about fashion, learning about fashion, educating about fashion, etc. But any purposes we might not guess?

you the GOAT

[@gobyfish1399]

Why do some people think all men in fashion are gay ? Because MOST MEN in fashion are gay. What's wrong with just telling the truth ? And more truth, the fashion industry is huge, so its MOST male designers/stylists/make up and hair/writers, are gay, which are the most visible professions in the fashion industry.
