This was so beautiful, and I agree, the power mesh garments were outstanding! I went to fashion school back in 2009, it has been my dream to go to fashion school since I was 6 and at 27, I quit my corporate job and went for it. It was one of the most rewarding experiences ever, I found myself having all this energy and passion I never exerted before as I worked on my projects and collections. I graduated in 2011 and I won best pattern drafting and best garment construction with my final collection. I was as surprised as you lol, because there were students that had been sewing and making clothes for years, and there I was with only a few years of experience being recognized for my work. After that I did a few courses at SCAD, but eventually realized that it wasn't much different from what I had learned (and also it became pretty expensive lol), and didn't do much for years as I grew a family and whatnot. I just recently started to make clothes again (that's how I found your channel lol, I needed refreshers on a lot of things so youtube has become my teacher lol). My goal is to be able to work full time as a designer five years from now! 😁

[@KianaBonollo]

Well it sounds like you have a natural talent for this❤️ I know you will achieve your goals!! Good luck :)

[@bawaramotu741]

Please what fashion school did you go to, I also want to attend a fashion school and study fashion business but I don’t have the money for high end fashion schools so can you recommend one that is affordable and what fashion school did you go to My dream fashion school is FIT

[@krazykid197]

“Cause cohesiveness” love it. Seeing your “this is where I started” helps alleviate the stress of begging perfect and getting it right from the start. Thank you 🙏🏾 first place winner.

[@sawyeroaks]

I think it would be really cool if you remade your old collections or created a new collection with new-and-improved pieces of all your old collections combined. I’d love to see what your new take on these pieces are, especially knowing all that you do now :)

[@Lara-qo8xf]

I would love to see this!!! Great idea

[@Natasha_d13]

The arms behind the back in the sketches is a mood lol they’re so hard to draw!

[@rettathompson1222]

Totally used to do that as well! My older cousin who was in art school suggested it to me 😂

[@goblinkingofpotatoes5823]

Your videos are so inspirational for me. I think the first video of yours I saw was when you finished your senior collection. Honestly, I’d say you’re the main reason I’m still interested in fashion design. I’m starting my first project this summer and I’m so excited! Thank you for being so inspirational 😁

[@KianaBonollo]

Omg thank you so much ❤️❤️ my goal is to inspire y’all to follow your fashion dreams so this just made me so happy!

[@carmenreyes6913]

If you have other collections can you please do more videos like this! This was sm fun to watch :) also, LOVED the pants and the final piece!!

[@KianaBonollo]

Ok I will go look for my other collections!!

[@aysouday]

Well I didn't actually get to do a runway but I joined a fashion competition once. The theme was a poem describing the world so it was full of contrasts like day and night and good and bad. So I chose black and white as my main colors and did a whole contrasting collection. And I came out second. I feel like in most of these competitions or runways where there are judges the most important thing is that you have a story or reason for everything that you do. Like you can't just put a random color or fabric or design in the collection without there being a logical explaination for it.

[@karinadulat]

love seeing your growth as a designer throughout the years❤

[@emmayochim]

I am in the fashion department at my school and we do a fashion show at the end of every semester! It gives you great experience, but also makes you want to do better on your designs because you know so many people will see them. It's been so fun for me, but also super nerve racking as well. I think it would be so fun to do the line collection class though!

[@Fashion_Kat]

I really like the denim crossover top with the shorts and yellow high waisted pants. Great collection!

[@bryewheeler8447]

I’m a Freshman and I did a three look collection for a fashion show for the first time ever and seeing my clothes walk made me literally want to cry I was so excited and like proud of myself, I definitely have things I want to change and do better but simply participating and seeing I could actually do it was unreal

[@KianaBonollo]

It’s crazy seeing your stuff on the runway for the first time🥰 cheers to hopefully many more shows for you!

[@okayfineiguessilltrythat]

I actually screamed when i saw the red mesh dress thing w the crown and all it's so cute- scared my mom half to death too

[@evasage14]

this was such a lovely-educational video!! i love fashion so much and am planning on applying to fashion school so it was really inspiring to see everything you created. I really loved the look with the red bell sleeves and the yellow pants one-eveything looked so good!!

[@bellafriedman4183]

omg yes id love more rundowns about your collections. in all your fashion choices they are so innovative and unique!

[@MayowaOye]

Zero roast cos this was really nice. You did a great job. I especially love how all the colors synched and matched up with each other 👍

[@yazzybean]

Loved this video, and yes please we would love to see your other collections!! ❤

[@rashinianne6709]

[@fortheloveoffabric]

Got me in my feels with this one sweet girl! Great job!!

[@aysouday]

My favorite was the main piece. The queen of hearts😍

[@leadupont8588]

Yeeesss! I sang go see all your other collections!

[@deannajohnson3933]

You could make cohesive outfits for kpop groups. That would be cool. Also, I really like the two-toned pleated skirt look. It was really cute.

[@ariaLampadaria]

Omg the yellow pants are stunning😍

[@smritiraghuvanshi7411]

I really wanted to see the lookbook 🥲💗

[@sugarangel013]

I absolutely loved this video and so proud of you for presenting that stunning collection as a freshman! ❤️ It's a dream of mine to present my fashion collection in a runway show some day. As a self taught designer/sewist, I don't know the first thing about which shows I can apply to to present in and how. I'd love it if you have any suggestions! ❤️ Absolutely love your videos btw!

[@KianaBonollo]

Aw thank you! And you can do it!!! So excited for you to get to experience that one day ❤️ just Google local shows in your state and see if any pop up that you can apply to! Make sure they are reputable though! And don’t ever spend a ton of money to be in a show!!

[@teresabryant8131]

Hi! Am I overlooking the link to the Lookbook? Thanks!

[@ambersmith2612]

I NEED those yellow mesh pants 😫😫

[@vickipatridge5094]

[@edwardanthis3808]

I was wondering what college/fashion school did you go to? And was in expensive?

[@butlikereally]

10:17 is a little bit guy fieri but in the best way

[@farah09.]

I am Arabic and I do not understand English well, so please put an automatic translation because I enjoy your video and thank you💗

[@CindyNgk]

Waow 👏👏👏 this amazing. Congrats to your young fashion designer self 😍 I can't find the lookbook link though 🤔

[@malinzoe]

Where is the lookbook??

[@pear1386]

I’m lazy and I don’t feel like messing with my machine so when I’m sewing I use a singer reinforced stitch so the fabric can’t stretch near it 🤐

[@MetjeB]

Really endoyed
