I just find it interesting how they don't talk about the garment industry in third world countries.

My female ancestors always made their own clothes. When I was under 10yrs old I could knit, make lace, and use a sewing machine. My grandmother was disappointed in me when I turned 11yrs old, and I wasn't a seamstress. My mum taught me how to make basic patterns, and sew the materials. After I left school, I went to a fashion designing course. The problem I faced was my teachers refused to grade my work. They accused me of cheating. Even through I did all my work at the fashion course. I went to other fashion courses, where they all said I didn't have what it takes to get in the fashion industry. The teachers would ignore, and bully me in class. Students would watch, but not say anything. So I gave up. An elderly lady once asked me "what's your talent?" I said "I can do seamstress work, but none of me teachers think I can do it." The elderly said "they failed, they don't want you to succeed." I didn't believe her. I thought she was just being nice to make me happy. After watching this documentary I've realised I'm very much needed in the fashion industry. I think I'm going to get into the fashion industry. But I won't use my real name. I don't need failures that have used, and bullied me to sabotage me.

The Jacquemus part, is very relevant about fashion in France. Everybody sees Paris as the city of chic clothes, and couture, and high end fashion, but actually, i feel like the fashion field in France, is really restrctive. We don't have the same fashion inspiration as in London, not as popular, but more with a "prestige" image. That's may be why it is, so difficult to have access to the fashion world in France. But I think it's a shame, and a lack of interest in new talents and in new styles of styling. UK now takes over the industry, and french people are now more interested in the english way to dress up, because it's a lot more open minded, i think.

I think it’s not necessarily only in the UK, though it’s a very good example. But the French are neally caught up in the buaa esa side of things and in the heritage, whereas the UK invests money and tries to promote young creators so that it’s visible to everyone. Mainly the UK is interested in fashion just because they see how powerful it can be, especially in economy, which is where their interest is placed, they know how to promote and inspire. This is just my opinion though.

In household names, or in small brands, they put a lot of accent in the quality of products. As a result, each piece costs more to make than, say, a dress from a big company , like, idk,H&M; its products being made in China at 0,70$ per piece and then sold at a price of 30$ in a shop (plus paying workers, taxes, transport,etc). Understandably, these small companies or maybe big ones but well-known of high end products, will make less pieces and each one will take more money to make. So they'll have to sell it at a higher price, taking into account that it takes more work and manufacturing than the other ones. However, I do agree w you on the fact that lots of them sell also the brand and the name, like LV,YSL, Gucci etc etc

Fashion is for everyone as in clothing choice (or style) is for everyone. Whether you wear nothing but leaves or the most expensive clothing, you are making a fashion choice and/or statement. It is in that sense that fashion is for everyone. It does not mean everyone can afford everything. With regards to pricing, regardless of how much it cost the big houses or designers to produce an item, the bottom line is if you think it expensive, you are probably not the target market. The same way one person could find the cost of a private jet expensive and another won't.

As a kid I wanted to be a fashion designer (probably like a lot of girls), I used to draw outfits a lot. In high-school I learned how to make patterns and garments on my own (my mom also knew how). My path led me towards an art education, while tempted to pursue a fashion major, I ultimately chose Fine Arts. As a true introvert and not the most high energy person, illustration feels like the best career for me. And maybe one day I can create patterns or designs that will be on clothes and this will be my contribution to the industry.

It largely ignores the fact that many of the negative stereotypes of the fashion industry are rooted in FACTS supported by thousands of people over many decades. Alexa is white (passing), tall and naturally thin, done. Minus one of those qualifiers her experience of the industry and access to the industry would be very different. Even the admission of nonavailability of formal information for the lay person to access employment in the industry is an indictment. I did enjoy Olivier Rousteing input.

I grew up admiring Zandra Rhodes and Bill Gibb and Tommy Nutter but today people hardly know them ! makes me feel old. I remember going to a party at Bruce Oldfields with Celia Birtwell and Hockney and spending the evening sitting on a Lalanne sheep talking to a Harpers & Queen journalist. It was the 70's and there were not the barriers that there are today. I was a student, unconscious of my luck, finding the extraordinary just 'normal' everyday ! I needed money so I went to a fashion journal and asked to illustrate for them and they said yes and sent me off the Browns to sit in the shop and draw the clothes, a shop that I couldn't afford to enter ! I became friends with all the editors, it was great fun. When I did my show I needed leather so I wrote to a tanning factory and asked if they would do me a deal and they sent me a TON of free leather, my teachers couldn't believe it. I got all my linen from habitat on the Kings road when I told the manager that I loved it and wanted to use it in my show. He gave me an 80% discount ! Those were the days. In my first year I was first in the class but as I didn't go on to become a designer who cares!
