Dakota Johnson & The Art of the Mood Board | Hello Fashion | Kate Young

When I start out with a new client, the first thing I do is look for any pictures of them where I think they look great. “Is it a color? A silhouette? An attitude?” I ask myself. Once we pick the looks that have worked, we talk icons and create mood boards. On this episode, I discuss this process, go into my appreciation of odd color combinations, and highlight a few women whose style I admire, including Debbie Harry, Sade, and Tina Chow.
I also FaceTime with my client Dakota Johnson, who loves a good mood board as much as I do. Mood boards, she tells me, “are like playlists for physical things.”

Definitely going to try some tips from this video! I love seeing how much of the client’s personality you put into the clothing choices. I would absolutely adore a style breakdown of Margot Robbie as I feel she is one of the most versatile style icons of today and would love to know your process behind achieving that. So glad you started this channel Kate!

[@kateyoung]

Yesssss

[@moakazawa]

Came from Hung’s channel! I’m so excited for your content and you seem so down to earth and relatable. I’d love to hear some of your ideas you mentioned during Hung’s video like the difference between $10 vs $1000 jeans. I’d also just love to learn more about how you style and look at fabulous pieces. Can’t wait to see more, subscribed!

[@kateyoung]

Thank you for the ideas!

[@MeredithHammett]

Omg. I cannot express how much I enjoyed this. Absolutely fantastic content! 👏

[@kateyoung]

Thank you!

[@pillyinlondon]

Loved it. Thanks for sharing. Everything you said is so true you need to see what works for you not in the sense to "look" great but what "makes you FEEL great" . What are the things (clothes, accessories, etc) that really make you feel empowered and at the same time just "you" ! Which is wonderful, isn't it ? 💃💪 .

[@fabalexx1]

So much knowledge... it is insane! Love how you explain fashion ♥️

[@kateyoung]

Thank you!

[@soniat1348]

Fab fab fab 😍thanks for the mood board idea Kate x

[@kateyoung]

[@zhraya_]

I'm so glad that you invite Dakota Johnson in this video, so I open this not just for her, but indirectly also for a new knowledge. Thank you so much.💙

[@michelledin2230]

What a lot of great information, tips about styling yourself.

[@theworldinheels]

Hi, Kate, this was fantastic and made me think about how I dress these days. I love glamorous clothes: fitted suits, heels, exquisite jewellery, dresses. I used to dress like that when I was a single working professional. Now I am a Mum and, often, my days are filled with work and then picking up children, children’s activities. I find myself reaching for trainers and flat boots and I do not feel myself. Would love it if you made an episode on striking a balance to dress functionally for your life while not losing the glamour. Thank you in advance! 🙏

[@jeanneandme]

OMG OMG OMG - you are so much fun and your wisdom is PRICELESS. Would you do something on current ways to do scarves for spring/summer? With hats, without. Hair up or down, with jewelry accessories or not ... I’m seeing so many handkerchief looks and want to incorporate in a non-milkmaid way?

[@auninditadeb]

This was so helpful, thank you for starting this channel! 💕

[@kateyoung]

❤️

[@AndreawhisperingASMR]

Loved the video! It would be very interesting to see the process behind red carpet outfits for awards!

[@vyh5357]

I got here from Hung's Chanel and I already knew I was going to like it... but. NEVER expected to enjoy it this much. I was in bed after cleaning out the dinner table, doing my "I am a tired mom" routine and watching videos half a sleep while waiting for bath time to put my kid to bed... and then I watched all your videos. honestly... I am still processing (in a good way). This topic is something I love so much... because I have a deep love for fabrics, and for design, how empowered clothing can make you feel... how it can translate who you are and what you want to express about you, even without words... I learned to sew, just because I wanted to understand the architecture inside the things I love so much and how they come to be... how a garment is so much more than what you see on the outside. Listening to you... made me get in touch with what I like and enjoy... ME... without kids, and house chores, and pandemics and all the years I am piling on... etc, so THANK YOU. I will be back every week. I wish you the best for your Chanel. I really appreciate you so much for sharing your gift with us.

[@kateyoung]

Thank you so much! Making these videos gives me a chance to remember me too!

[@rodrigofagundes6601]

Hey Kate! This video was so helpful. 1. How do you find icons you can compare to and use as style comparisons? 2. How do you zero in on the specific things you like?
