Thank you for the inspiration! Not long owned a sewing machine and want to find my voice as a sewer and am not sure if I want to do like 1950s, boho, super cute or a bit aztec. Can't make up my mind xxx

[@vickipatridge5094]

Love your mood board. Much success in 2023!

[@iligalvan]

Your so right. Ima make one and be me all da way. Forget fitting into something. Ima just draft up what represents me. Omggg u inspired me thanks

[@betsyshepherd2007]

AS SOON as you showed the full collection my first thought was “grown up heartbreaker” lolll

[@KianaBonollo]

Hahah how did I not realize the similarities

[@LaReinaAlondra]

It's Heartbreaker 2.0!!! I love it! 💙

[@seamslegit641]

Looks great, definitely makes me want to recreate my 2023 mood board thanks love your stuff you “nailed” it 💙

[@annaliseyates2009]

patterns for Fit 3 and 5 PRETTY PLEASE IM IN LOVE

[@pshtwhoneedsaname]

ooh the moodboard is very like queen of hearts energy?? also this was very satisfying, seeing it come together. i had to do something similar for my fashion class and it was great fun to literally get told to use pinterest haha!!

[@KianaBonollo]

lmao my first collection ever was called queen of hearts why am I the same hahahah

[@pshtwhoneedsaname]

@@KianaBonollo nothing wrong with a niche; besides as u said in the video u do a lot of other things too. and!! it’s only gonna get better each time u come back to it!

[@blackstrike1733]

Love your videos and the outfits are so pretty

[@jgeorge4919]

My baby waved back at you 😂🥰

[@KianaBonollo]

AW❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jgeorge4919]

@@KianaBonollo he’s 8 months, so every time you’d wave your hands to gesture, he’d think you were waving at him so he’d grin and wave back. Hello, hello again. Oh hello. Hi. ❤️

[@Crazyyyyy1221]

Love your video ❤

[@noemikizem7246]

Can't wait for the pleather heart cutout dress pattern to be out !!

[@cswallows306]

Could you do a video on building a swatch book

[@QTLiEatsClouds]

love all these! would love a pattern for the wednesday dress and the last dress ❤

[@dinosaur48]

Thanks for the video, it was really inspiring❤❤ I think the 3rd & the 6th of your designs would be the best with patterns, (i imagine the patterns like oblique grids with hearts inside them or sth like that, it looks so good in my head) btw sorry for my english, i'm not a native speaker😅

[@carotherskids]

Would you make the heart purse as a pattern?

[@KianaBonollo]

That’s a really good idea!!

[@nataliecohen3948]

Queen of Hearts aesthetic

[@n_8951]

PLEEEAAAASSEEEE do a pattern for the 3rd one I LOVE IT!

[@Lara-qo8xf]

My hero academia is playing on the right 😍❤️ And yes I have been since heartbreaker ❤️ (or even before, you were still in fashion school)

[@rowena.buehler]

Hey!! New to your channel but I was wondering what croquis template you use for procreate?

[@esmaybd]

hey! love the vid! What software/app do you use for your sketches?

[@jolca1198]

I love your long form videos, but do what makes you happy and work for you ! Your moodboard and the dreeses you sketched, but if i have to pick two, it will probably be the tulle dress and the red with black mesh dress ♥

[@MarkPetrowsky]

omg this is heartbreaker 2.0!! its seems more advaced but also more grown up

[@syd.micaela]

I love the mood board also where did u find the template u used for your sketches

[@durgameghwal5623]

I wanna start to sewing dresses and i wanna learn from you tube, can you tell me how to start from beginning level??

[@uchi3210]

(omg i see my hero academia... 👀👀👀 SLAY TBH??) and i love the moodboard omg!! 😭💗 but can i just say your energy reminds me of enid if she had her own youtube channel lol 😅😅💗💗

[@marittalehtlaan924]

It's giving me dark academia queen of hearts aesthetic?

[@Gandellion]

It’s not helpful because I can’t explain your style but it’s super distinct and clear to me

[@jayb7002]

10:18 "Marie Kondo" . . . stahhhp wait no why r u lowkey funny af

[@carlselizabeth]

your calendar is still in September

[@shanobiuchiha2280]

[@lilyresek4014]

i love the board! i think my favorite designs were the tulle dress and wednesday addams dress :) happy new year kiana!

[@tesswilliams4985]

Love this!! I would love a pattern for the black corset tulle dress and the colour block red and pink dress 🖤❤️

[@josiemartinson6538]

My hero academia

[@laragsr6403]

LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos!! I'd love to see the pattern of the 3td and the last one (from left)!! pink and red together is so pretty🥰

[@AnnelisR]

This is a cool idea! I am in the same place where I’m wanting to find myself fashion-wise. I suggest checking out The DIY Designer’s 2 KZbin videos on style language because those were an absolute game changer for me. After doing the exercises there, I came up with the style words “glamorous, sultry, fun, unapologetic”. And ever since then, I have almost no problem creating looks that I firmly know only I can come up with/would wear. I’m having so much fun with fashion now! Highly recommend 🤗 happy holidays and happy new year, everyone!

[@jenniferaguilar5024]

Can’t believe it’s been 2 1/2 years! I’ve been here since I saw the wide-leg pleated pants tutorial. In all honesty you have been a big inspiration for me. Every time I have a new project to do in class I try my best to involve one of your patterns as my next project. They are so fun to create and I always love the final look. Oh and you were watching My Hero Academia I remember that episode. I loved your hoodie! I really liked the 3rd dress where you said the skirt part will be made of tulle well the top of it that’s exactly what I’m doing for my next class project. I will be using your Cowl Dress pattern using the mini version and I’m adding a detachable tulle skirt.

[@AfikaMbeje]

Loving the mood board... May I just say dress no. 4, the swooped slit and peterpan collar dress, is my birthday dress. I can imagine it in a orange with a pink contrast collar and that feather boa sleeve for my barbie themed 25th. Please please please give us a pattern

[@judas_riot]

Thankyouuu Kiana, I really need this, I'm on my job training today, and I really want to show I'm capable of making a collection, I hope I can make it and impress my boss o⁠(⁠(⁠*⁠^⁠▽⁠^⁠*⁠)⁠)⁠o

[@rozlynbrown6297]

I kid you not, I took one look at the thumbnail and thought of heartbreaker. 😆😆❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@backinmars4325]

Leave a link from where you purchase you anime clothes plz

[@cassybucceri276]

Ok so I feel silly I've been watching your shorts for a little bit now and just figured out you have longer videos 😂😂 so I have a tiny question so if I wanted to make outfits for my daughter's dolls (the are OMG dolls and only come with one sometimes two outfits) how would I even do that? Is it kinda like making real people cloths but way smaller?

[@enzie7431]

Do you draw the base bodies that you sketch the outfit designs on?

[@destinysmith1325]

My very first thought at the beginning when you dashed through the Pinterest board was that this sounded like heart breaker 2.0 hehehehe. Love it though 💓

[@borrismonnor3613]

Please which app do you use for your sketches and patterns

[@mmiisiiyy-ug2kr]

We really want to see the corset dress

[@alyssahanna8337]

I love the two in the middle

[@ketameanii]

kianacore!!!

[@FutureFendiFsnista]

Thank you for this! Your channel has been so inspiring and giving me hope for finding myself again. Keep up the amazing work!!!! 💛

[@elisehuver1926]

I'm a french girl, I was here for your heartbreaker collection ! I just love watching your video, and I like your style so much 😘 ! You inspire me a lot so thanks you 💜 Just continue like this

[@bberros1837]

Realy prefere the long form❤️❤️ love this moodbord

[@HayleyCDavis]

I was thinking from the get go this is total heartbreaker! Love it, Kiana!

[@ketameanii]

dang i’m early

[@patchydeee]

this cane in such perfect timing. i’m in the process of planning my own brand and it’s like i have an idea but i don’t, if that makes sense 😅 my Pinterest board looks like it works but also doesn’t look like it works and just to see your process with it and you having fun with it, it grounded me and made me just remember to have fun with it and not stress too too much 😊

[@patchydeee]

came*

[@5kgxistiouvockzit7r94]

I love the format of the video. You're obviously very talented and creative but ngl it's unwatchable at times because of your delivery. You have an annoying vibe with that twitteresque way of talking. Lots of luck to you tho ❤
