    I'm 32 and just getting in tune with my aesthetic and career goals - it can be hard when you have to work for other peoples vision, but eventually you fall into patterns that just feel right

  • @TheGrifhinx

    I love how you pretty much mentioned here the concept of the "minimum viable product", which really is a critical component for not just fashion brands (that are businesses in their own rights; we should all treat them like businesses) but for all kinds of businesses that are at the startup level and are just getting ready to run out into the world.
    It's a cute idea if, out the gate, one plans and manages to turn up with some kind of a "collection zero" of sorts (like to declare their codes and whatnot), but it just takes on so many risks that - you basically have to worry now about multiple pieces and products selling enough and/or grabbing enough attention. And that tends to be overwhelming and potentially unmanageable for anyone who's not only new to fashion but specifically to the business side of fashion.

  • @hexmaniacciaran
    @hexmaniacciaran 2 года назад +2

    Great to see you back (youtube didn't show me you're earlier uploads from a few weeks ago), I especially enjoyed the first 9 minutes where you spoke about the DNA of a brand and how it's interpreted by whoever is at the helm and it'd be an interesting video/set of videos if you did a deep dive of a house and how new creative heads have retained the hallmarks of the original creators while also adding their spin e.g. how Daniel Roseberry has referenced Schiaparelli's connection to surrealism/Salvador Dali or how Sarah Burton has went all-in with the romanticism Alexander McQueen infused into his clothes but they've lost a lot of the bite/edge.

I hear what you said about the great houses following what life gave them as their inspo. The distractions today do seem to be more intense.

  • @bohemiansusan2897
    @bohemiansusan2897 2 года назад

    I enjoyed this video immensely. I remember my first worked out design; a fitted cloth diaper that fit between 5lbs to 35lbs. I'm not going to add that to my line because I like doing adult clothes.
    My aesthetic is more or less mix and match separates that can be styled in many ways. Its based upon my own broke existence in which I can't afford to have a large wardrobe. Its is a take on the capsule wardrobe. My clothes have quite a range of style in that most pieces can be used for professional, goth, punk and romanticish... Period piece are worn with current styles and its a lit of fun for me.
    What I end up doing mostly are Goth wedding gowns, modest prom/dance/bridesmaids dresses that don't look frumpy and that teenagers do like and not feel out of sync with their peers. I sent some LDS girls on mission with quality mix & match that most wear for years after coming home and fit into a young starting out family model. I also make silk or rayon Hanboks for weddings or formal events. I know my customers well enough to know that using my Goth/Punk cotton sugar soul and black and hot pink strip Hanbok would send customers running away.
    I do allow for some fun such as my Hanbok, goth Harleyquinn dress and punk dresses or skirts for church. I recently made an authentic Kimono for one of the sisters at church. She's 92 and figures that she should have her funeral plans in place.
    Colors... I haven't really thought much about besides black and a deep blood ruby red.. So now you've given me much to think about. Am looking into some sort of online fashion degree course as I can't afford to move. Fade.... I miss the 80s when it was so much easier to move long distances in some kind of affordable way...

    Ms. Zoe, you are an amazing artist!! You have no idea how much you enrich my life. I do not aspire to become a designer, my favorite hobby has been cooking, but you have opened my mind an my eyes to a new dimension. You are an awesome teacher.
    I have learned so much from you that now I see the world through different eyes.
    I enjoy very much watching you draw. Your drawings are much more beautiful than the photographs!
    In the late 50's, I would see my beautiful mother leaving the house to attend official government functions in the different countries where my father was assigned to represent our country, (Mexico) as a diplomat. She often wore dresses and evening gowns designed by Ramon Valdiosera. His designs were inspired on the different traditional and regional attire of our people. I see what you mean in your suggestion to go out and see the world for inspiration. I am so excited to continue to learn though you wonderful videos. I truly admire you, your talent, and your warmth, fun temperament and your kindness and generosity in sharing your blessings.
    Thank you very much!
