I'm 13 and I really want to be a fashion designer, but my parents aren't taking me seriously and think it's just a phase 💀. This video helped me a lot, cuz I wanna get a headstart and know the basics. Thank you so much, Natalia! ❤

[@gothiciour3265]

Here, I think I can help with that! Think about why you want to be a fashion designer, why you love it sm, how u found out u wanted to be one, etc etc! Then write them an essay (the longer, the better!) and they will have higher chances of supporting you! This is what people do, and it works 85% of the time!

[@Celste_Angel_Art]

I really want to be an actor but my parents think that I will be broke and were trying to get me to be a doctor. I then said fashion design which they supported. It won’t be that bad, I like to draw, and I really liked fashion design when i was younger

[@lkxiii]

I feel you, It almost feels like a gamble... but honestly you can only get somewhere if you truly desire it. You need to be dedicated and not give up, with a passion i’m sure we’ll succeed. There will be struggles and very tough times but that’s how you grow it’s bound to happen it’ll definitely be worth it as long as you do not give up and you remain dedicated.

[@KamoheloM___]

You can study something in business so you can run your fashion business and learn the skill through youtube and diy videos. You dont have to go to school.

[@ymReal]

@@lkxiii wow say no more 👏👏👏 great advice

[@tarsharimehta4886]

I think you dont have clarity is because you have not been involved with design and fabrics enough. Explore and do workshops and classes. It will give you an insight on the kind of work and give you more clarity. Dont get into it if there is even a little bit of hesitation

[@Kira-mf2ni]

Yeah i feel u sometimes i wanna be a fashion designer, manga artist, writer, or any other things that include art and drawing, im still young but i think u should set your mind in one track and do all u can to reach your goal while your still young and its ok to change tracks in life as long as its your passion and dont let negativity let in your mind cause it can distract u just do wat u think is right for u and go to the path your heart and soul leads to. ( btw sorry if wat im saying doesnt make sense cause im still 12 :> )

[@draskin5564]

I'm really interested in evening wear and gowns. I'm 16, starting my last year of high school and I can sew decently (my mom can sew incredibly, wedding dresses and all- that's where I learnt it from) and I can draw pretty well. I am starting to create a fashion design folio

[@todorokisfavouriteobject9109]

Nice! I’m 13 (second year of middle school) and I’m slowly making myself some patterns to do dresses and I’m interested in evening wear clothing too, my style is similar to that of Cruella from the newest movie but I can’t find someone who wants to do evening wear clothes like me to share tips and videos tend to be no help. 🥲 I’m slowly starting to build up a folder of designs.

I go to FIT and am in Fashion Design as well and about speaking into existence and how you say you’re a fashion designer... I can relate so much and have been doing the same thing. It was reassuring to hear someone else feel the same way I do!

[@bxttercxup5951]

This maybe a stupid question but I have a lot of ideas for clothes in my head but I have a hard time putting my ideas on paper... so do you have any tips to help with that

[@NataliaTrevinoAmaro]

Obviously practice makes perfect, but I think it also helps to think about how it would be constructed, that way it’s easier to visualize it and put it on paper! So like, where would there be seams? Darts? Zippers? Etc.

[@andreang13]

As a little girl I always wanted to be a fashion designer but in my country (Mexico) that is a very elitist career and I could never afford it. So I went to a public college and I’m graduating this summer with a master’s in Design and Visual Comunication. And sincerely I think it was the best choice ever because in my free time for this whole 4 years I taught myself how to sew and design clothing. I started my own brand as well last year and it’s been really cool! Design taught me so many other skills like color theory, shapes, photography, video editing, color grading, animation, drawing, marketing, etc. And today I’m thankful for all the knowledge I got from college that now I can apply to my own clothing brand. I make everything by myself, clothing, photography, advertising, marketing campaigns, etc. And it’s pretty tough for just one person but very fulfilling at the time :)

[@rafaellamame9176]

Hi Andrea, you and I have several things in common. I also want to become a fashion designer but it's hard to become this in my country so I have to travel abroad to study in university. I'm very interested to know how you managed to do everything and start your own business? Could you please tell us a little about it? 😍😍😍

[@phillipwedge3097]

I just wanted to first say that your video was very great and informative. Thank you. Becoming a fashion designer has been a long time dream of mine. I’m a little bit older now but I still have that dream and I’m going to step out and just pursue it. I definitely will be following your videos and hopefully communicating with you to pic your brain. Congrats on your journey at F.I.T as well. I plan on taking some sewing classes at G Street fabrics to gain knowledge of how to sew. Just wanted to say thank you again. You’re awesome.

[@deborahwolff5651]

I love this field because you are always constantly learning ! There are so many interesting techniques! I sewed my entire wardrobe and went to FIT and gained a tremendous amount of knowledge.

I'm 16 I saw your lauching buisness video recently and I admire your talent so much! I only started sewing minimally for 4 years, I've only started clothing during the quarantine. My sewing skills are spread apart in sock dolls, dolls, then historical and modern clothing. I'm not a amateur or decent, I'd say I'm inbetween. I made my first milkmaid dress and that was very hard, it turned out good though even though the inside is a mess. I want to do this and other things. I don't know where I'm going to turn out.

But that changed really quick, you were giving very useful information, straight to the point but explaining everyting with care and at the same time you were so authentic that it allow me to relate to you, in the channles that i watch, the perfectionist that sometimes makes difficult to learn, and more. i ended up loving your video for many different reasons. thanks for all the info and thanks for sharing a piece of you ^-^

[@Chardelle6925]

I think this path is totally for me. I’m naturally always deconstructing garments in my head, looking at seams on my clothes and trying to figure out how things are put together. As I’m listening to you, I feel all of this stuff comes so naturally to me, I’ve already been making my own patters and stuff and I am still waiting for my sewing machine to arrive.

[@user-cg4so4fd9k]

I am 14 and I wanted to be a Fashion designer. I started hand sewing when I was between 6-8 years old. It all started with my barbie doll without clothes. I wanted to dress it up but all I have was a piece of fabric from a school project and my parent's sewing kit. I sew a dress secretly but I failed. No worries, when I was young I was very careful with the needles. But few years after, it was still a hobby and what I was very fascinated about is that I was able to sew a pants, a skirt, a tube top, and dresses for my barbie dolls. Now, Im into crocheting and knitting and probably would practice sewing again but of course with a portable sewing machine. Hopefully, I will make some good projects 🦋🦋🦋❤️.
