- So excited to share this with you! I got a tour of the beautiful Taylor & Sage offices! And then I sat down with the Design Director and Missy Designer and asked them all kinds of technical questions about designing, their company, their thoughts on fashion school, and the industry in general.

I am 67 years old. Started sewing when I was 11. Worked most of my career as a State Investigator working 18 hours a day...Retired and a couple of years ago, got back into sewing. Some friends thought my work was really good and suggested I start a sewing class. Now I teach three classes for underprivileged women and I just love it. I'm telling you this because you were the reason I got back into sewing and the rest is history. Thank you for doing all of these videos.. I found them to be so inspiring and exciting....maybe someone else will begin a new career at 67 too! No one is ever to old to rekindle a previous passion! Thank you for lighting my light again!
Aw, thank you so much for sharing your story! I'm so happy for you and I wish you all the luck in the world with your classes!
@@zoehongteaches Thank you!
I am 54, made my first dress for myself just before my 9th birthday. Most of the time worked in my own studio. Did a period of textile art and exhibitions. Now I am in the opportunity to work for a new brand and working on my own studio on a project that might grow (much) bigger. And during my work if possible I watch/listen video's and documentaries. Your video's are at the same time terrible and fantastic. terrible because they keep me from working, I just stop working and want to see every little detail, and lovely because they are so motivational to remember why I do love being in fashion and what is what I really love to do (or not!) even though it is working long hours and not always rewarding in money. xxx Thanks Zoe and all the people who agreed to tell their stories for sharing!
Thank you for your really sweet message! You're welcome and good luck on your latest opportunity!
thanks!
Hope you and your brand are growing and doing great, I know few designers that I'm friends with and its a very hard job and like you mentioned many times the money its not there, but is what you guys love to do. Zoe Hong videos are vey good and insightful!
I am a follower of your work. It is beautiful
"A hundred and sweaty degrees"
😃😃😃😃😃
I hate to say it, but I stole that from my husband. I wish I could take credit. hahaha~
Omg Zoe! I love when you said, “Hey booty!!!” 😂😂😂😂 And then you walked into the pattern making area and you said, “Hi ladieeeees!!!” In such a happy and fun way!! You’re so cool!
I love the content of your videos, especially ones like this where you feature your designer friends and we get info straight forward, no bs no fluff no decoration, just their real life experience. Thank you!
Straight forward real life experience is exactly the goal behind my interview videos. :D You're welcome!
Zoe, thank you very much for this unique video. It's so interesting to see inside how fashion designer works. Your channel is very informative and helpful. THANK YOU!
You're welcome!
I seriously appreciated this content. It's like graduated school and then what's next? Out in the real world people, where your school lessons become your work ethic, your customers are your professors, repercussion in poor time management is money lost, where being overly creative doesn't sell, etc. Fashion industry have to be practical to make money. This is awesome to see behind the scene of the actual work environment in fashion company. To me this is as glamorous as the next fashion show and it is inspiring. May I request if you could possibly interview Kelly, the president/merchandiser. Please please please.
Love to see more of their specific process & software for time management
You reminded me so much of my hubby cause he used to live in Alaska for ten years and now complains so much since we live in AZ .. love your vid!
I promise I'm working on my cameraman skills! #alwaysbepracticing #practicenotmagic
Great video as usual. If you use a camera to record, you could play with ISO and white balance for when you are recording with changing light conditions. I am in no way an expert but it is how I do it.
Thanks for sharing!
the efforts u put into all of this is extremely commendable.. can't thank you enough
Zark: You're welcome!
Maggi: I just saw your comment! Weird I didn't catch it before. Yes, I do need to study up on camera stuff.
This was so great to see the "inside" of a fashion business!! Loved it⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was awesome! I'm not even a fashion student ( I'm a surface patten designer) but you videos are so helpful and interesting. I love your channel.
Thanks!
I f*cking ❤ your channel! Thank u so much for giving us detailed insights on Fashion Design
You're welcome!
Hi zoe I am new to your channel and OMG it is aaaammmaazzing ..... I love how you put fun in everything you teach ... love this video so interesting and informative...xxx
Thanks!
Congratulations !! fantastic design company, love it and have loved some Target clothes over the years, quality of fabric is great and affordable. Yes for people over 50, fashion can be very boring unless one is interested enough to get into exploring.... I draw inspiration from fabrics and not design school educated. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
wow wow wow! Amazing Zoe, Thank you for doing this interview! my passion and love for fashion has grown more if possible!
you're welcome!
She looks like Kourtney Kardashian
Hello Zoe! I rellay appreciate you taking time to make videos.
Could you make a video about the problems with the fashion industry?
I'll think about it. First of all, it would be several videos, not just 1. It's complex to make videos about problems without sounding like whining. I'm not interested in making videos in which I sit around and whine about stuff. I would only want to talk about problems if I can present it in a potentially problem solving light. But it's food for thought and I will def think about it.
ok, so I've watched a number of your video's as an aspiring fashion designer and I must say this one compelled me to comment. I am so inspired by what I saw and more importantly what I learnt. Many many thanks from South Africa!
Greetings to South Africa!
wow talk about fast fashion! 12 collections a year!
And that's just for their main line. The giants are even faster. I think H&M and Zara have a cycle of 10-14 days.
wow mind blowing!
Very useful information for designers xxx
Your all videos are very informative and always interesting. I'm so happy that I've found your channel.
Taylor's collection looks all cool.I love that. Thank you, Zoe
They make super cute stuff, yes. You're welcome!
Thanks Zoe! It was a great overview of design process and the interview was fun. I learnt a lot, especially about organizing things. 👍😃
Yes! Get organized! It helps you think straight!
Hi Zoe! I am a fan of your work and teaching style. I discovered you recently so I am checking all your old and new videos in a mixed order. I come across these amazing illustrations-flats (around 39.00 in your video here) more and more often lately and I get a bit mad that I can do only Ai flats and floats ... BUT not this amazing textured, multi shaded, natural looking, irregularly coloured - almost hand-drawn computer flats .. with amazing graphics in them perfectly blended with all the garment details. So, my question is: How can somebody get to this level? I am up to a wgsn level of floats but these stuff are just too yummy
wow - thanx for the insight ladies!!! best designer interview Ive seen in ages!!!
zoe you rock my world omg
I love this! It was such a wealth of information! Always learning something new with your channel. Thanks
You're welcome!
Hi Zoe. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and friend's experience with us. This video was really helpful I'm a graduated fashion designer, but I have been working as a pattern maker only. After years I have realized that I have lost my propose. What I really want is design clothes. So, now I have a job interview tomorrow to work as a fashion designer and I'm a little bit nervous because I don't have any experience apart from my study (6 years ago. Thank you, your video clirifies and refreshes my ideas about design process. Raíssa from Brazil.
Great video and seems to be a great company, really hope they are still going strong and bigger! Came across this by watching your Private Label video Zoe Hong, again you show us things that so many of us don't know that exist and its a way to be in the fashion business.
Love this interview. Very informative. my second time watching this.
Omg this amazing an i love this part where you take us to explore outside how people are workin in fashion these girls rock zoe hope to see moremuch love from africa
mykonosssssssss!!!!!!! Greetings from Greece
Greetings to Greece! I'm dying to visit your gorgeous country!
Love your videos 💕
I’m learning a lot
Keep it up 👍🏽
Very inspiring! Thank you for sharing design process and organizing business.
You're welcome!
don't bargain price with the factory, they only make a small percentage of money compare to the brand. one side people blame how factory treat their employees,
another they ask for lower price. bless their heart.
So great!! Thank you.
You're welcome!
Why do they need a factory in China?
That's where factories can manage to produce mass production in lowest bidding price and the merchandiser has the relationship with the factories and fabric makers that is developing overtime.
Not all factories in China are bad. There are a lot of Mom and Pop places that are small and reputable.
Love it Zoe!!!
I like to see a company that designs mens clothes I like your vid like to see more
I interviewed Dahae Kim, who is a menswear designer. As for the offices, there's nothing about menswear that would make the office look that different.
The aesthetic of this company reming me FREE PEOPLE aesthetic boho style garments
amazing interview!
That was amazing!!
Thanks! I love Jen and Susie--they're awesomesauce.
Does anybody know where can I buy a pattern drafting table? I`m a fashion designer starting my own company and it is so difficult to find a website that sales a pattern drafting table.
I hate them but amazon. Also using the google shopping feature. I use a table from Costco lol.
You can source local makers in your area to cut prices on logistics.
May i ask what lipstick and color you have on? it looks really good on you :)
Great video, informative and interesting.
Thank you!
Its a 100 and sweaty degrees...reminds me of Brentwood (by Antioch)
Yeah, it's hot as balls up there.
Zoe ...can you please do some videos to learn draping clothes on the dress form ?
No, I don't teaching draping. Possibly in a few years but the request queue for designer/illustrator related subjects currently goes to Feb 2018.
Okay ... Also can you teach tips for finished garment ? I mean at this stage as a fashion design student ,we barely understand which garments are professionally finished and which are not ..
Hey Zoe,
So I just watched this video and I am super amazed 😂 so my end goal is to have my own brand. I love business and fashion so much. Recently I have been doing a cert 2 in fashion design at Tafe and I was slowly getting sick of machining and pattern making and thought; there is no way I want to become a fashion designer. After watching this video I realised that a fashion designer actually really only designs and other people do the work I am doing at the moment! Next year I hope to do a cert 4 in fashion then continue onto a Batchelor of fashion design. How Much experience did they have before they started their brand? It looks like a huge brand for only being in it for two year! Crazy!! how do they make enough money to have that many people in TWO YEARS!!!! I want to bring off shore production back to Australia aswell do you think this is possible or far to expensive?
Cheers Jye
Also what exact wacom is she using! I have looked and looked
Hi Zoe, Is the interview with the girl who was a merchandiser and all about planning still up? Went to watch again but can't find. It was your friend that worked for many large companies....
Nope.
we like the real stuff ...thanxs
Hi Zoe, do you know what pad and pen she has while using illustrator on the Mac ?
Where in Alaska? I'm a big fan of your channel, from Anchorage, AK!
I'm from Anchorage too! I went to East High!
Zoe Hong ME TOO! Class of 2013!
@@kathrynhoke4830 I went to high school in the 90s, so yeah, I was long gone by then...hahaha
love that they have plus-size mannequins.
Or when you go shopping and the clothing looks cheaply made. So I like making my own clothes due to I love good constructed clothing
Hello Zoe, do you know what program do they use for PC-sketching? and if you know what program from your own experience what is the most comfortable and easiest for this kind of work? Thanks
Adobe Illustrator
Thank you, I thought maybe something special, but it's adobe illustrator(
Me sitting through this video: Are they hiring? 🤔😂😂
Haha right? Seems like an awesome place to work and their stuff is so cute.
I got grapes

That is exactly right! Why the hell am I doing all this yoga and running if I can’t wear something cute without looking like a stripper? We need better style for the late 40s and early 50s..... we don’t look 50 anymore....
