This video is not about fashion design process but about what to do once your designs are done and you need to organize it all into a format that makes sense! You do need to have a portfolio that shows your work to apply for fashion design jobs.

You’re *literally* the teacher I’ve always wished for 💯
Currently trying to put together a portfolio for my freelance design + dressmaking work. Thank you so much
You're welcome! Good luck!
Hi Zoe! I'm a mom in my 40's interested in a career change, from preschool teacher to fashion designer. I've always wanted to be a designer and have been sewing since high school! What advise do you have for getting some professional experience asap later in life? Love your energy and charisma keep it up!
Women like you is what inspires me as a 17 year old, I don't know what I would do is the internet never showed me all the women with ambition that is out there
Just wanted to thank you for putting yourself back out there and being an inspiration for others! I’m 30, and I’ve always wanted to do fashion design! I’m in a boring corporate position and a mom, and I just laugh at the idea, like really, it’s too late, it’s impossible to do that by now! And to click on this video and see this post! …thank you, you dont even understand ❤❤❤😊
@@srice3941 Thank you! That is so sweet and means a lot. Looking back at my 30 year old self I think... Wow. I was so young!" Check out these cool facts that prove it's never too late to change your life (:
Vera Wang was 40 when she started in fashion.
Stan Lee was 39 when he came up with, what is now, Marvel Comics.
Samuel Jackson was 43 when he first received a major role in a movie.
Henry Ford created the first car when he was 45.
Rodney Dangerfield’s career didn’t really take off until he was 46.
Julia Child started her career as a chef by writing a cookbook at the age of 50.
Harland Sanders, aka Colonel Sanders, started Kentucky Fried Chicken when he was 62.
@@milkshake8931 So awesome! Thank you😘 Just stay focused and determined and your dreams WILL manifest!
Take classes, whether it's my Patreon, a local school, some other online resource. Volunteer at any tangentially related event, like backstage at an fashion or theater shows, charity fashion shows, etc and network. Start taking on freelance sewing projects and start building a business reputation through these jobs. Good luck!
I just wanted to say thank you so so much for this! I’m in my 3rd year (going into my 4th in April) and I’ve been working on my portfolio and this came out at the perfect time!
Great reminder Zoe Hong, what is available within 20 miles of where you are! Funny your comment on using Upholstery fabrics, back in my days of fashion School there was a charity event where Interior Decorating Fabric Showrooms will give Fashion design Students X amount of fabrics and trimmings to design an outfit to be presented at a benefit fashion show.
Yes I'm so excited about this! It definitely makes sense that your portfolio should be easy enough to read through that it wouldn't require a long explanation for someone to figure out what you're trying to do
This is the video i've been waiting for , thank you Zoe!
You're welcome!
Another perfect class! Thanks Zoe!!!
Just the video I needed! Also what size sketchbook is that because I need one!
Hi Zoe, the fashion school that I applied to love to see the design development + experiments parts. It would be great if you can make a video deep dive in to those parts! Thank you so much!
That's most of my channel. See Fashion Design Tutorials playlist or Fashion Design Process playlist. Or even my Watch Me Design Season 1.
Just the video I needed 💙 what size sketchbook are you using?
I gotta save this video
Thank you Zoe!❤
You're welcome!
Hi there Zoe! Thank you for the valuable information.! My question is: In each project, how many looks or illustrations should I include? What's too many and what's too few?
Thank you so much for your effort it helped a lot but I have a question what if I worked for different companies in the industry and each one has a different style and concept do u think it's important to put every projects in my portfolio or just pick the most important one that speaks out for me as a designer i'm always put all of them to show up my skills but not totally feeling okay about that! Thank u :)
COOLEST teacher on the 'Net ❤
hahahah thanks!
I’m in my second semester of fashion school, planning out my first portfolio and I was thinking of specifying the thread material and color in it as well. Do you think that would be unnecessary?
This was so informative and helpful, it's exactly what I needed! I didn't go to fashion school, but worked in corporate fashion and am now pivoting into design. I've learned Clo 3D and Illustrator. My question is should I include 3D renderings in my portfolio to showcase my patterning work (I don't intend on specializing in 3D renderings)? Also I'd love to see more on how to show tech packs in portfolios
Don't show anything you don't want to do at a job. Tech packs can be done as a series of slides or boards or a view/download pdf.
Know this is out of the video but I'm struggling with building my studio can you help with thoughts
Was just thinking about this like an hour ago- perfect timing!
I get that a lot. hahaha~
Can you please tell me what's the name of the color pencils you're using
Thank you so much mam, your video really helped me a lot. I have one query which I would like to ask. I am currently working my design portfolio and I have done final projects including the whole design process, which I will add in my portfolio, but I am kind of more interested in working on the creative design illustrations, 3D illustrations, so should I make a separate portfolio for that, does it has any chance to get accepted by the industry?(Only for the illustration parts.)
3D renderings are a desired skill; you should have a page of your website that shows your renderings. List the software you know on your resume and highlight them in any application letters.
@@zoehongteaches Thank you for your reply, I'll consider this point.
if i have a lot of sewing done, can i do minimum illustration?
What I described is the minimum illustration.
I was wondering what to do with toiles? Cuz in japanese fashion schools we make toiles about everything, with zippers buttons, holes everything!
Include them! That’s about as good as finished garments since it’s about showing you understand construction.
But i also have the finished garments, so maybe also use them in design development? Also where can i submit the portfolio for critique? 🙆🏼♂️
teaching@zoehong.com you need to write in the email that you are giving me permission to critique your portfolio on my channel. it will serve as a release form.
