Are you eligible for jeans production designer ??? Or tshirt designer for male female both ?

[@theredrover3217]

I don't have a lot of experience with patreon but I don't think that link goes where you think it does. I can't find any information about joining yours.

designing a collection based on vintage lingerie and foundation garments, this video came right on time!

[@ashleyclemons-mosharrafa2362]

I love, love watching and listening to you. Just found you on KZbin and can’t wait to binge watch!

[@soidee]

It's amazing how you can design for both: man and woman.

[@JacquiPoetryDesigns]

I love your videos. Better than most classes I have taken

[@aisharane]

I love split complimentary schemes!! 💕👌

[@daddychill1013]

I love watching and listening to you. You are amazing. I love fashion designing. keep it up. love you.

[@mayaozen487]

Learned nothing but loved watching you.

[@HeyCarrieAnnSews]

Thank you so much for this video, my vintage inspired designs usually come out looking a little dated, watching this was very helpful!

[@LaceyMyriah]

Just found you yesterday and I am so glad that I did!! Your videos are fun and engaging and SO educational. I’ve always been interested in fashion but am finally allowing myself to fully venture into creating it! Thank you for posting such amazing videos.

[@ragdollmag]

Hi Zoe, hope you do more in this series! I knew a bit but you're really helping fill in the blanks and I've got some more books you recommended added to my wishlist

[@got2bjosh]

Ugh, another great video. Love Art Deco fashion inspiration. The diamond pattern skirt in plum and navy with silver outlines and the creeping floral patterns in purple and green against the waist of a gray or navy sweater.

[@edgarescamilla2679]

Yeah, I totally get were the designs are going forth and how a bits of elements of 70's vintage makes a true collection.

[@pamelabrinkley6900]

Im loving this. I love the 70s era anyway.So I am enjoying how you get inspiration from this old photograph.

[@kaylinyoung8794]

Wow!! I love how almost all of your videos answer things I always have problems with as a design student!

[@ttmahere7783]

Your designs are amazing and thank u for adding mens designs because I'm a male fashion designer and its really hard to find advice in this field

[@pilarneary3526]

Bravo!!! I loved this!! Thank you for sharing your immense knowledge with me!! 🌺🤗🌺

My fav teacher on KZbin 😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@Carm1412]

Thanks so much for this video. I'm doing a vintage inspired collection for school but I'm having a hard time with the fabrics. I'm only using remnants and it's kinda hard to know how much fabric I'll need before I design since I can't really order more and I'm limited to what happens to be available. Have you ever done a project using recycled fabrics? Any tips?

[@zoehongteaches]

You have write a list of exactly how much of each fabric you have and have it handy as you design. I would explore how you can use multiple fabrics in one garment, cool fabric "collage" effects" so if you need to swap out one fabric, the overall look isn't sacrificed.

[@pilarneary3526]

¡Fantástico! Thank you. Love Art Deco, Ms. Zoe!! My grandparents home! 🌺🤗🌺

[@iveyivey2264]

Your videos are so much help to me ! Thank you Zoe!

[@bohemiansusan2897]

A lot of the clothes that I've made in the past few years have been designed as retro or I would take big collars and put them on blouse with darts of current trend along with early 70's long sleeves that balloon out before the cuff. The fabric would be of a current print or in the case of one blouse, pin tucks, lace, ruffles sewn on, ebroidery and ribbon all in vertical set up. That one took me a long time to do but I had fun doing it. My friends call what I do Frankensteining. The compliments from random strangers is a nice ego boost. I recently designed and sewed up scrubs in a knit fabric with the tops having tulip sleeves, sides pockets, scalloped hem and bottoms in a straight leg form. It mimics cargo pants a bit but has scalloped edge pockets. When describing my vision, folks cringed and the drawings didn't seem to get my vision across until the prototype was made. My daughter wore it to work and since then, I've made about 100 of them for coleagues

[@bohemiansusan2897]

of hers. A bit retro in design but doing it in a knit fabric eliminates the horizontal pull lines in scrub tops.

[@rowenahuang1431]

I love this video and the explanation of your creativity! What pencil did you use? It looks so smooth

[@PB-yf6or]

This is exactly the video my soul needed.

[@ladyjunon6305]

My body is ready!

[@momocisse3823]

I loooove it and missed this videos so I love the way you design 🙃🤗I like the latest designs dope

[@nooralhaddad381]

Love your videos 💕 I’m learning a lot Keep it up 👍🏽

[@RitchLife2019]

Absolutely LOVE this video, thank you for sharing!

[@ARTYCOATY]

Very wonderful design. You are full of talent. I respect you. 🌈🌈🌈

[@sofovskiy]

Hey Zoe! Love your videos. Just wanted to ask if you think that pattern making on paper is a thing that belongs to past... Thank you for your valuable lessons! 🙂

[@zoehongteaches]

They still use paper in some categories, like high end eveningwear, but for the most part, Gerber is the industry standard.

[@sofovskiy]

@@zoehongteaches I really appreciate your response!!!! 🧡🧡🧡

[@nomandlovu2731]

Wow! What a surprise! I’m making a headpiece inspired by 1930s

[@Marsha_Ann]

Zoe its such great timing that you made this video! I'm working on a portfolio for admission for design school and its due by the end of the month! My inspiration is based off of African civilizations, including Egyptian of course. My question is when you mentioned that when u have a print you wanna add to your design based off of a detail or shapes in your image you like, how do you transfer that on to your fabric? For instance, deco shapes?

[@zoehongteaches]

If you're trying to create the actual fabric, you have to work with a fabric printer. If you want to figure out how to design a print, you can watch my How to Design a Print video.

amazing content I hope you keep update :)

[@ml5684]

hi. Thank you for all of your very informative videos. Have made a commentary on Cristobal Balenciaga's take on fashion design in the past? What are your thoughts?

[@zoehongteaches]

As a teacher, I didn't really like talking about personal preferences very often because I didn't want students to try to design to my tastes and I think that's something that stuck to me. That's why I don't think I'll be doing runway review videos anymore. Balenciaga was and is hugely influential, he created some masterpieces and that's all I have to say about that.

[@ml5684]

@@zoehongteaches ahh OK. I understand. Thank you for your response

[@pranavsatti4545]

@@zoehongteaches Maybe instead of runway reviews you can make videos on runway trends.

[@hendricksstephen213]

Helloooo! Love watching your videos when I can. I wanna know, How long did it take you to finish this mini collection? from conception to these sketches

[@zoehongteaches]

couple of hours

[@hendricksstephen213]

Zoe Hong wow! It’s hard for me to even come up with two sketches or designs in a couple hours 😭😭. HEEELLLLPP!! . Am I overthinking every step 😭😭?

[@zoehongteaches]

@@hendricksstephen213 Sketching is brainstorming. It's a braindump. You edit and refine later. Also, I've been designing since the 90s.

[@hendricksstephen213]

Zoe Hong that’s interesting. Which makes me ask, what was it like for you during your first years of making sketches/designs? If you can answer that , I’ll really appreciate it

[@zoehongteaches]

@@hendricksstephen213 I think what you want is for me to make you feel better by telling you how slow I was in the beginning but I was drawing since I could hold a crayon and by the time I understood what the heck "fashion" was, I was drawing a lot faster than most people. Comparisons never help anyone. Keep working, and work on cataloging your own progress. Check back to how you were doing last year, last month. Keep working.

[@adamsalame509]

Hey Zoe! Is there anywhere we can buy the template (the 2 male 2 female figures) you are using to draw your designs onto??

[@Marsha_Ann]

I think she has them on her Pinterest page..

[@PRO4YOU99]

Hey Zoe, I was wondering what body templates are you using in this video?

[@zoehongteaches]

Those are mine. I sell a bunch on zoehong.etsy.com. I copy and paste different figures onto a new page, shrink them, and then print them out at low opacity for different design projects.

[@PRO4YOU99]

Zoe Hong can’t seem to find the templates you use in this video on your Etsy nor on google
