I know you haven't asked for my advice, but as a fashion design student, if you start practicing your drawing skills now, by the time you get to university, it will make your life much easier because people who draw really good spend less time on things like trying to get proportions right and more time drawing details and doing other useful things. But overall enjoy your time drawing!

[@theeaselrider4032]

Admittedly, I have no interest in fashion in any way ( my wife can verify this ), but I can see you using your sketch books the same way I did when I was in college. It's not just about drawings, it's about working through ideas in what ever form might be required. Sometimes in the end the sketchbook itself is a finished piece of art on it's own. Thanks for showing us.

[@EmmaRave]

Exactly! You're so right! It's really just about getting ideas on a page - so different to what I was used to but far more productive :) Thanks for watching!

[@miabankroll5161]

I have so many ideas but cant draw. im taking drawing lessons so i can portray exactly whats in my head. lol Beautiful book

[@EmmaRave]

Hi Mia, well done for putting the effort into taking some drawing classes. Don't worry too much about being able to draw well. The main thing is making sure you are able to portray your ideas onto paper and that you can clearly see what you are trying to achieve overall. If you look up original sketches by Givenchy or Karl Lagerfeld, they can't particularly draw well but they were able to come up with good designs which is what matters :)

[@jvlynoigufer6025]

Same to you Mia☹️

[@vitaliyfedchenko9987]

I’m really interested in fashion and costume design (but mostly costume design). This helped me see what I would expect if I went into university one day! Thank you so much!

[@EmmaRave]

I'm so pleased its helped! Costume design would be an amazing course 😁

Im 13 ive been designing since i was 5 i would love to be a fashion designer

[@rglames683]

Quick question how do I figure out what fashion style I want to design? I'm honestly stuck here lol and I'm not sure how to choose lol and I can't seem to find any research about it so could you help?

[@EmmaRave]

Do you prefer womenswear? menswear? Start by picking a theme that is nothing to do with fashion - maybe a photograph or a piece of artwork that you like the look of and try to design some outfit ideas around the colours/design/patterns that you see within the image - kind of like what I did in this sketchbook. What about using nature aka waves, clouds, mountains, flowers.

[@andreapimenta2747]

Wow! It's really amazing! I am 11 years old and one day l want to become a fashion designer . I Don't draw so good but practising. Thanks for the video!!!

[@EmmaRave]

I'm sure you'll do great!!

[@daisyx4589]

heyy my dream job is to do be a fashion buyer/merchandiser however I’m stuck on which gcse to pick, maybe business studies + art?? does anybody have any tips on what to take? Xx

[@EmmaRave]

I took textiles - do you have that option? Business studies and art sound like very good options to take.

[@daisyx4589]

@@EmmaRave no my school doesn’t do textiles that’s why I’m thinking about doing art or fine art Xx

[@PoojaSingh-hx6xf]

What i can do for make a good fashion designer this is my dream ❤️❤️

[@EmmaRave]

Just be unique and bold in your designs and work hard and be passionate- I'm sure you'll be great!

[@LC-ob2rg]

I have always struggled with the design development and how to show it in sketchbooks, which is something my tutors stress upon, but after watching your video its really clear! I would love to see a video on fashion research as I am currently finding it difficult to do that and I always overthink about whether i'm going to far away from my main theme/ topic and making a mistake? When do you know when to stop when it comes to research?

[@EmmaRave]

Thanks so much for watching and I'm so happy that it has helped you. In regards to your question about fashion research, what course are you doing? Is it a design course? I think it's important to research different designers, brands, fabrics etc but I think if you are doing a design course then design development is more important. If you are doing a styling course then fashion research is a lot more important in my opinion. You should always have a fairly good knowledge of the industry but put your focus behind the skill that you most want to develop. I was wanting to go into fashion illustration so I would often research illustrators and look at designers sketchbooks ☺

[@LC-ob2rg]

@@EmmaRave I am doing a fashion design course, and my tutors tell us to focus on design development and showing it in the sketchbooks so that they can understand our design process and thinking. Regarding research, they tell us to make a research file in which we add pictures, notes and everything we collect (pictures we took ourselves, photocopies of books from libraries and the internet) and even fabric swatches like you mentioned. So for example, if my collection's theme is ocean, I would usually research about aquatic life, coral reef, sea plants, etc., to use in my design development. I was wondering if you could make a video of your research file and explain how you carry out the research process and in which directions you go in, if possible. Thank you.

[@EmmaRave]

@@LC-ob2rg hey, yes I remember the dreaded hours of research we used to have to do for these projects. Unfortunately I threw away all my research files because I just didn't like them. I maybe could do a video on what I used to do to collect research. I'll have a think and look and see what I have x

[@LC-ob2rg]

I would love to see that as I think it would be quite helpful, I hate doing research too lol. Thanks a lot!@@EmmaRave

Hi, I want to apply to LCF as well for the fashion design course, could you give me tips and advice for when I apply and tell me how you got in?

[@EmmaRave]

Hey, have a look at this video of mine - I show my portfolio and give some tips for the interview - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYnNpaewbZueqqc

[@ishaillustrations11]

Love your work 😍😍😍😍

[@deborahadeniran7956]

What pens and colours do u use and where do u get it

[@EmmaRave]

I mainly used Winsor & Newton Pro-markers or caran d'ache colour pencils. Or just sharpies :) You can get them all from Amazon 👍🏻

[@jvlynoigufer6025]

I can actually draw by copying the fashion skitch from others but sadly I can't draw by my own idea nor design...it just..I can't or maybe I need to learn more co'z I want to achieve what on my imagination.... I'm just 16 and I really love to be a fashion designer someday ☹️

[@EmmaRave]

I actually really struggle with the same thing as you. I prefer copying from photos etc and I find it hard coming up with the image myself. What I do is get inspiration from a few different designs and images that I like and then combine them into 1 unique design. That will help you think outside the box and then it gets easier :)

[@Mystearicia]

Hello everyone, I would like to ask what kind of sketchbook paper material is used by fashion designers (or future designers?). my bestie graduated with fashion design and I was thinking a sketchbook would be one of my gifts. I was thinking of doing a DIY sketchbook but I wasn't sure if A4 paper is acceptable for drawing croquis using pencils. Hope someone could give me some suggestions, thank you!

[@EmmaRave]

Hey, my favourite paper to use is called Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper - it's perfect for pencils and its a little thicker for if your friend colours her fashion images in 👍🏻

[@harimahato2174]

I also want to be fashion designer . That's my dream .

[@EmmaRave]

Go for it girl 💜

[@balenciagamama5488]

Where can I buy a good sketchbook for a mood board? Thanks

[@EmmaRave]

If you want good quality paper I would always go for either a Daler Rowney sketchbook or a Strathmore
