Watch Me Design A Fashion Collection 1: Inspiration

[@evadukerschein3380]

Maybe this is strange but this is exactly the type of series I was looking for. Nothing inspires me quite like other people exercising their creativity!

[@zoehongteaches]

Not strange at all!

[@arianahanley4031]

Me too! I was looking for videos and found this Gem 💎 of a series even though it's a year later!

[@juliezorrilla]

@@arianahanley4031 She's awesome! I have watched like five of her videos today =) Thank you Zoe!

[@alexandragenoves1676]

I wish I knew you when I went to Fashion School, good information, thank you Zoe to motivate me and inspire.

[@Pepperthecory]

I like the idea of hyper femininity and masculinity in fashion that is completely separated from gender and works for both men and women. The meshing of the two as well can be really fascinating.

[@zoehongteaches]

Playing with gender expectations in fashion is always a good time!

[@seekingthequestion]

I am a complete beginner and you have completely turned me on to the creative process. and the past week i've been obsessed with Boro so for you to bring it up - and connect it to zero waste fashion - is SO COOL. Thank you for what you do, time to get practicing!

[@cosmicentity8460]

Hows it going?

Feel free to play along and make pew pew pew sound effects!

[@rhondaziman562]

I love what you're saying about reducing waste, and not pattern-matching in order to save fabric. wonderful messages to spread among fashion designers of the future, thank you!

[@yuvan1999]

YES!!! YESS!!!! YEEESSSSS!!!!! This is one of those videos I never knew I wanted, but now that it exists, I FRICKIN NEED it to survive!! Even though your Design Process series was INCREDIBLY helpful, seeing someone actually go through the process of designing a collection would be an absolute perfect way to learn, in my opinion! Simply cannot wait to see how this series (and your collection) goes!!! And thank you so so soooo much for making this series!!

[@yuvan1999]

Actually getting to see and learn how a piece of inspiration goes on to become a garment is something I'm REALLY excited about!! ;)

[@zoehongteaches]

I'M EXCITED THAT YOU'RE EXCITED!!!

I'm not into fashion really - studied product design now an illustrator... but it is sooo fun to listen to your lectures I think I've found a new channel to watch!

[@bubblegumziee]

You are literally my favorite fashion teacher! I'm gonna credit you as soon as possible when I'm becoming a legendary fashion designer someday

[@Skoben2000]

I' in LOVE with that BORO book. I hate waste. I hate all of the clothing in the landfills. I hate new garments that constantly use new fabrics which the fabric process wreaks havoc on our environment. This Japanese style is right up my ally. It's beautiful, it's charming, It's a story, it's alive!

[@Priya-sj7bz]

Zoe you are amazing, your content is one of a kind and I just want you to know that I appreciate everything that you do. Your presence on KZbin is truly inspirational. THANK YOU for simply being the artist that you truly are and for being authentically Y0U!

[@rivitraven]

Geologist here! I love how you're looking at the minerals with their forms and textures. You would be surprised how gorgeous the world of geology is especially when you learn terminologies and structures of formations. I feel like you should take a look at thin sections especially perthites, antiperthites, microcline, and albite because they have some cool structures. Calcite and fossils in thin sections show geometric shapes with roundness, structure, and flow. I think you would love copper bearing minerals of all sorts from carbonates, oxides, sulfides and more. You might also like labradorite, vivianite, vanadinite, dioptase, potch opals, and ALL the Jaspers.

[@zoehongteaches]

Thanks for the tips!

[@jasminehks]

This vide gave me LIFE!!! Your knowledge about the fashion industry is extremely fascinating 😍 I could watch these videos all day! Thank you for sharing and teaching. 🙇🏻‍♀️🙏🏼

[@zoehongteaches]

YOu're welcome!

[@Anna-vr1zq]

I'm a third semester student and I'm working on a knit collection inspired by crystals atm so this is absolutely perfect! I was drawing in my sketchbook while watching, can't wait to make this a regular thing ❤️

[@zoehongteaches]

>>I was drawing in my sketchbook while watching, can't wait to make this a regular thing ❤️ YESSSSSS draw along with me!!

[@TheFashionRunUp]

Yes! A daily uniform is everything! I don't wear the exact same thing every day, but similar variations of colors and silhouettes, which helps me quickly create solid outfits that I know work so I can run out the door! Also, I'm a fashion designer but rarely create full collections from start to finish and need this refresher! Like you, I also miss designing full collections. So trying to do it more often on my own!

[@DawnDevine]

LOVE IT - I am totally inspired. As a costume designer, I get stuck in a rut of designing only costumes projects. I think I'm going to make some clothing for myself! Thanks for the inspo - love your channel!

[@zoehongteaches]

Yeah! Make some new stuff!

[@enakbaeken8785]

I just got accepted at the Antwerp academie at only 18 years old... I was really happy until I realized I actually have to do it now haha, these videos help me a lot. Thanks for making them!

Hope you are coping well

[@sophieg7904]

I'm studying fashion design at university just finished my first year super proud of myself and ive only now found your channel and i am in love with it honestly going to be soo helpful for my second year loved those patterns from the garment shapes would never of thought of doing that xx

[@zoehongteaches]

Good luck with school!

[@camilacastelblanco8285]

I´ve been all afternoon lost in your videos (like I do sometimes) and you always make me have new ideas and concepts that I didn´t imagine to learn and I really appreciate that, I thank you so much for doing this and I really look forward to become as knowledgeable and talented as you are after I finish fashion school.

[@nadyautina]

Yeay finally!!! I've been waiting for this video ❤️❤️

[@zoehongteaches]

[@katparadox4339]

I'm an earth scientist and I have to tell you that your description of the rocks is pretty good ;) Of course you know all about texture and colour, and in geology these are the main tools that we use for mineral classification ;)

[@zoehongteaches]

Yay! I'm so pleased to hear that! *pats self on back :D

[@atikchowdhury8606]

In 'Bengali" culture, traditionally women makes comforter for the winter time by using damage or used old clothes by using patchwork strategy and they put their cultural floral handcraft embroidery and storytelling work. It's fascinating to noticed that they realized the sustainability and giving artsy beautiful cultural nostalgia to the used or damage clothes.. Thank you so much for your beautiful touch in details... Very greatful to your dedication.. GODSPEED. ❤️❤️✌️

[@kimbaxley7595]

I've been wearing blk tshirt and jeans every day for a million years. The shoes change the style of jeans and shape of blk t change but that's it. Unless like you said, I feel like putting together an outfit. Such a massive relief.

[@justawoman]

You talking through the process. There's nothing like it ! Thank you

[@dakotajones6681]

I love that you're inspired by the patterns. They are very graphic, but I also get this vibe, which I enjoy particularly myself, of taking inspiration from the process of the craft aspect of what you're doing. The art about art concept I guess, and purposing something about the process that's typically not presented in the finished product and using it as inspo

[@Kcsozen]

I'm so in love with this channel.

[@hexmaniacciaran]

I love the section about patch work, those pages reminded me so much of Comme des Garçons and Klimt paintings

[@mirjamsavic4540]

Did you just make a pattern out of construction of a sleeve? Damn, girl! Love your ideas

[@zoehongteaches]

Yes I did, and I'mma take those little drawings and run with it!

[@chickadeeacres3864]

I like the idea of collaging everything that inspires. Your comment about a rust obsession reminded me that I am obsessed with cracked and peeling paint LOL! But when you think about it, WOW! Imagine what kind of clothing line could come out from that?

[@KatSNAILS]

I haven’t finished this video of yet but I already love it. I love this series continues. ❤

[@thephilosophyer]

This series seems to have come at the right time! I have been working on a concept for a collection based on Alphonse Mucha, with Victorian (Since that was the era that he became famous in) and Czech influences. Now I can work on it alongside these videos, lol

[@zoehongteaches]

Yes! Work alongside me!

[@danadouin1042]

Only my second Zoe video but I am loving this. So many deals racing through my brain!

[@sanaSana-bv4jx]

I had learnt many things from this tutorial , yes continue the series i want to learn more from you.

[@zoehongteaches]

[@morbidkoala8678]

i know this is an old video, but i'm binging your stuff right now and as a genderqueer teen with an incredibly androgynous fashion sense, it means a lot to hear you supporting that kinda stuff so openly!! the recent trends towards more unisex and androgynous fashion has me very, very excited for the future of style related to gender presentation.

[@irfanzahid4643]

please continue this project. I have come back to see all the videos again. it was very helpful. please complete it.

[@zoehongteaches]

That's the plan, it's just I have a lot of projects to juggle right now.

ZOE, your channel is the absolute best! Thank you for this series and for your dedicated work. I am going to design along with this series with a video a week starting today! I love this video. I will be prepared next week and excited to watch Part 2 of the design series.

[@Danadane314]

Zoe, we've had that style in WA state. It's a great idea to think of the apron as an accent statement piece. It didn't catch on widespread, but I'd totally rock that look again! Please do it!

[@zoehongteaches]

I've been poking through what leathers I have in my studio to make an apron for myself! With pockets!

[@Danadane314]

Zoe Hong We we're just rocking whatever fabric that popped with an outfit, like jeans, skirts - long and short, and slacks or shorts. Way cool! Never saw anyone using leather... Niiiiiice!😊

[@zoehongteaches]

I love working with leather and always have a couple of rolls hanging out around here. I love that y'all are wearing aprons!

[@SunnySimmer80]

I love the Canson multimedia books. I have quite a few and they hold up to acrylic paint very well. Watercolor is ok on them.

[@theresakern7125]

I admire you so much! I love aprons too, especially carpenter style aprons. I always wear an apron of complementary color. For me it's about the color and the convenience of the pockets. Aprons are part of my daily outfit, and I wear there everywhere always. The only trouble I run into is when I'm shopping. "Excuse me, m'am. Where is the..." Even though I wear aprons and attire that look nothing like the store employees, because I have an apron on, people assume I work wherever I'm shopping.

[@zoehongteaches]

Love it! Love carpenter aprons. It's like that rule, don't wear a red shirt at Target or people will think you work there. hahahaha

[@myfragilelilac]

Ive been working in second hand stores for the past years. I love finding random objects and stuff. its a gold mine for creativity. You find aesthetic in fabric, old books, jewellry, interior. And they have a history to them. Sometimes you can see which decade the clothes come from. Id definitely take that thrift mentality with me in the future, haha. Also, great for sustainability and non binary! which is what i think is the direction fashion will take in the future.

[@zoehongteaches]

Absolutely yes on everything you said!

[@myfragilelilac]

Oh and also performance art in runway shows! @@zoehongteaches

[@leyden-3365]

I really appreciate watching a creative process that IS a process. It makes the elusive creative genius a quantifiable step by step. I'm a writer, but I'm hella inspired to steal pieces of your system. Thank you so so much for this type of video.

[@zoehongteaches]

Steal steal steal! That's why I share. There's a lot of overlap in creative processes. Good luck with your writing!

[@victori5581]

I loved the part where you flipped through the books about stones. I was like "noooo, this other one is so much more beautiful" or "look at this one!" and you went on and chose something completely different. I found your channel yesterday and I like your content very much, thank you

[@zoehongteaches]

I've often said I could give 20 design students in one class the same inspiration sources and I'd still get 20 very, very different projects. hahahahaha Welcome to the channel!

[@elian3084]

Finally, someone busting the myth that those who don't do, teach! Will this series also include the pattern making/sewing part or will it be purely conceptual?

[@zoehongteaches]

Undecided. I plan on taking it as far as there's enough interest. I'm designing as if I were mass producing it, but I usually do that anyway.

[@zoehongteaches]

However, I won't be doing the construction. I would hire people, which is what I've done for most of my career.

[@elian3084]

I see. Well, construction phase or not, this is an incredibly useful series and I am so glad you of all people thought about shooting it. I'm not much of a collage-type-of-guy myself (design inspiration is more mood-driven in my case rather than visual references), but I still think the lessons learned throughout this series are priceless. The world really needs more fashion designers like you, who can create stunning garments while practical to wear at the same time. ^.^

[@AMehta-dn5zi]

The timing of this series is perfect! I need (want?) to design a collection for fall 2018. Just one thing Zoe - "is". Won't say anything more, you'll find it. By the way, I didn't know the thing about pink in the Napoleon era. LOVE that!!

Hey Zoe, do you know the Marve channel? She makes videos studying, you could do something like that, designing but without speaking, just showing the process, with the noises of the leaves, scissors, pencils, etc. It would be like an ASMR but fashionable :D ♥ That would be very inspiring for both fashion design students and designers. Many times I find myself without time to sit down to design, because of the running around at work and so on. Seeing others designing and taking the process seriously is encouraging.
