You guys suck. Why would you expose us to this lame topic BLM for life

[@coolkid90xx]

I think it was so important for him to say “I can’t illustrate” because that could stop a lot of designers

[@lefat4697]

...its to be relateable to equally talentless people that call themselves "designers

[@pablogonzalez9842]

Jeff Newtown well, thats the difference between designers and creative directors

[@DnGHo3]

Jeff Newtown not necessarily. I’m not the best at drawing fashion figures and beautiful illustrations. What I can do it’s draw accurate technical drawings of what I want my garment to look like. What matters is the finished product. I know so many designers who created beautiful drawings, but a lot of them have poor sewing talent and no pattern making skills, it doesn’t make them any less of a designer. That’s not how it works in the real world industry.

[@pablogonzalez9842]

DnGHo3 yeah, each house is a different story. I’m just glad when the directors even show up for fittings lol

[@pablogonzalez9842]

Jeff Newtown I’ve been told McQueen mostly draped. Too bad he wasn’t a designer most times then :c

[@jsgracepark]

I guess if you’re a designer you’ll probably try and wear the clothes that you’ve designed but there’s something very satisfying about seeing how everyone at Thom Browne is wearing Thom Browne - including Thom himself lol

Crackhead? How? Everyone has a process. There is no rule that says you must do full renderings. I dont even do that...i do rough sketches in pencil. The idea is that its JUST the idea...NOT the actual product. Ideas are never polished.

I love this! I love Thom Browne! I studied fine arts and fashion design in college and I did a summer internship at teen vogue. So this so interesting. And to all the people who are judging his sketches no designer in Major house sketches. no one. It’s actually rare to see actual fine art drawings and painting skills in fashion. Not that it’s doesn’t exist but it’s rare

the conceptualism in his sketches and how he transforms them into his designs is incredible

This proves you don't have to be a perfect illustrator to be a designer. Most designers don't sketch, they have ppl do it for them. #FashionBabe Love Thome Brown ! ❤

[@ladybirdronan9924]

Yeah. Because it's always about the idea, vision and the consciousness behind it.

[@bobbyangelov645]

Couldn't Agree more with you!

[@nfhstudios]

ngl those sketches while maybe a nice as a modernistic art piece, are completely unnecessary and don't convey any information whatsoever, AMAZING end product tho hats of to this magician

[@jared9727]

They're completely necessary if they consistently lead him to such stellar outcomes.

[@fionafenty5960]

ah yes ... 8:15 is such a "stellar outfit" Much wow ..

[@nfhstudios]

Jared yes I agree but that’s not what I meant, I meant that if people are coming on this video for tips on how to improve their design process, as I was, this method is very unique to him, It may be necessary for him but unnecessary for literally anyone else in the world doing fashion or design. My first comment was just a harshly worded way of saying that I don’t think this way of sketching a very efficient way of working for most people that’s all. Just my personal opinion 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@jared9727]

@@nfhstudios Then I'm glad this isn't a tutorial, it's literally titled, "Thom Browne's Entire Design Process."

I hope the sketch artist gets as much recognition. Thom Browne is only the conceptual artist. Without the sketch artist there would be no end product.

Amazing designer among so many pretenders of one minute fame. His collections are spectacular, artful, innovative and always captivating. His appreciation for beautiful natural fibers and workmanship is so rare among neoprene and pleather. If these types of clothes were more popular, we would not produce so many one season useless clothes that end up in landfills. Total respect !

I find it so intriguing when Famous Designers clearly admit to not knowing how to Sketch, Sew or Create original Patterns and somehow they always relay on the team while becoming a big name Designer that the team creates it all. Its liberating to know you don’t even have to create to be considered a big name fashion designer. Who knew

Aww I feel so bad for you because I went through the same thing. I mean it’s not like I’ve done any majors or stuff but like I’m 17 and just finished junior college and those two years were so depressing coz I was forced into the science stream. But at the end of the day I make myself remember that I’m gonna show em that I can do something w my passion, never loose hope honey. You’re gonna make it, all this social media and unrealistic standards as in teenagers are becoming so famous and rich at such young age really puts a lot of stress on our mental health but you gotta be for yourself. I believe you’ll achieve your dreams one day, don’t let anyone tear you apart. Sending lots of love ❤️

[@rayna463]

its never too late to change your life- we were blessed with a new day everyday. and definitely don't worry about not being good enough, because not only is passion the key ingredient to success that CAN’T be taught, but every other aspect is a craft that can be learned and developed over time. fashion is no different than any other skill in that sense. passion- thats the hardest part and you got it! go for it. life is too short.

[@linneakarlstedt4727]

[@gregdahlen4375]

someone in another comment said the designers at major houses *_don't_* sketch, so maybe you could do it. On my KZbin the comment is a few above yours. Here's what the comment said "I love this! I love Thom Browne! I studied fine arts and fashion design in college and I did a summer internship at teen vogue. So this so interesting. And to all the people who are judging his sketches no designer in Major house sketches. no one. It’s actually rare to see actual fine art drawings and painting skills in fashion. Not that it’s doesn’t exist but it’s rare" also, practice makes perfect, so with more practice you would probably get better at sketching and drawing. but that comment is saying a designer doesn't necessarily have to be good at it.
