Don’t stop. I’m learning so much I didn’t know I didn’t know.

[@kamoncash5986]

Zoe, I am so glad you made this series. I am a graphic designer based in NYC who has always had an interest in fashion. I graduated from Savannah College of Art & Design a little over a year ago. While studying, I was able to take a couple fashion courses. I think this playlist is a great resource and I cannot thank you enough for your wealth of knowledge!

[@zoehongteaches]

[@cagedcrinoline454]

I'm totally in love with this series! A week ago I was trying to cut all the design corners and start halfway through the design process.... Thank you for metaphorically slapping me into realising what an idiot I was being!!

[@toughntiny2050]

Zoe, I like the fact that you tell people that it is hard because it's hard, not because there is something wrong with us! Right on!

[@zoehongteaches]

[@ruwitf]

Zoe ... thank you for sharing your knowledge, techniques, all these information and your ideas you surely learned these things through years of studying, trial and error but you're sharing with us generously which I'm so thankful

[@zoehongteaches]

You're welcome!

[@EmmaShine24]

That was true facts about costume history and recycled trends. I liked how u explain that👏

[@zoehongteaches]

I hope you got I was mostly kidding. hahaha Of course costume designers need to study it for historical accuracy, and I actually think that trends in clothes reflect socio-economic trends of the times and there's a lot to be learned from that. But yeah, we do keep bringing ugly crap back like we don't know better.

[@EmmaShine24]

Yeah I knew u was joking 😁😊 I totally agree

[@karenbloedorn8699]

[@lattexlatte2889]

You have a sense of humor. Like when you making voices LoL

[@owayemehowayemeh7908]

hi Zoe, Great work all the time, love love love...so i finished my fashion design diploma earlier this year and i want to work as a freelance designer while i am also searching for internships but i do not know how to go about it , how to search and get people interested in my work and give me jobs? Thank you

[@zoehongteaches]

Network. Everything is about who you know and that goes triple for freelancing. Go to events, talk to people, hand out cards, follow up.

[@m.woodsrobinson9244]

Love this video!!! Why you are you hating on bell-bottoms, though?! LOL!

[@zoehongteaches]

hahahaha Don't worry, once every 20 years I think it's a good idea.

[@jishaprasadofficial]

Hi Zoe! @Zoe Hong My name's Jisha. I am an ardent fan of your tutorials! Your videos are so informative, that I've got pages n pages of notes jotted now.. thank you so so so much for the amazing information you've given so far.. :) :) I'll be honored if you could answer one question regarding the current series.. If the entire research journal information have to be turned into a one portfolio project, could you please show us how the various inspiration sources can be turned into a single page Mood Board with Colour Story? I hope it isn't too much too ask.. Looking forward to your reply.. Thanks in advance.. :)

[@zoehongteaches]

You can see examples in my Fashion Design Process playlist videos--watch the Concept Boards video and the Portfolios video.

[@jishaprasadofficial]

Zoe Hong oh yes yes.. m sorry.. I dunno how I could've missed that.. I had seen that video quite sometime back.. since m currently working on a new collection development with you, this doubt arose.. But thankyou so much for replying back !! M truly honored!! Cheers!!

[@rajusuwal4093]

Do u pay for this swatches or u just got them for free? Please let us know how do we order swatches?

[@zoehongteaches]

I got these swatches as a gift from a friend who is a fabric sales rep. She gave me these old swatches so I could make these videos. If you want swatches like this on your own, in the US, you have be a designer with a resale license, and meet with a fabric sales rep. You don't get this many, but you can go through what the sales rep has and pick some. Some fabric companies give them to customers for free, some you have to pay. I don't know how the process works in other countries. If you don't have a resale license, or resellers number, you can go to fabric stores and ask them to cut you swatches, or buy small amounts. Some online stores sell swatches. The only one I know of is moodfabrics.com but I think there are others.

[@renesalinas4704]

Zoe Hong thank you for answering the question I was going to ask you..lol

[@losbrooklyn8861]

raju suwal There is also books on Amazon (TFC) u can order that have textiles and make ur own swatch kits. Hope this helps.

[@textilerafsasaeed934]

Los Brooklyn can you plz give tha link

[@rajusuwal4093]

Zoe Hong Thank u so much..i m a Fashion Designer from Nepal..the only thing i find difficult is to get fabric suppliers who cud send me fabric swatches if i order them online..and one more thing if u are to buy fabric for ur collection..how would you buy? Do u buy them in large quantity? What is the MOQ? Normally how many styles do u make in a collection for a particular season?
