    I need you to know that the fashion design class was essentially co-taught by you, my teacher would start each lesson with one of your videos and then we’d expand from there. You’ve taught me a lot outside of school as well. Thank you for your hard work ❤️

    Zoe I am returning to fashion design
    at 38 after having my two babies who are 2 under3. I have to complete my diploma and then I want to do my under grad bachelor and my cert 4 in custom shoe design and making and then my post Grad and eventually my masters and PhD… as although I want to work as a FD’er I also now want to become an FD academic/professor at a uni. I want to become an absolute master in this field that I adore so much. My goals have definitely changed dramatically since I first started years ago before my pregnancies occurred! I wasn’t even going to return to the industry but I realised how miserable I was studying tech/it in the hopes of high wages and stable jobs (turns out not only do I hate it - coding etc but it’s also NOT a stable or easy job pathway at all… that’s all false…. Every industry is competitive… also, there is currently a massive skills shortage in FD in Australia. Particularly for product dev and garment construction - the technical type skills whivh I love … most of my peers just want to draw pretty designs and pass them onto a garment tech to make… whereas I derive joy from EVERY ASPECT of FD process. So I KNOW this is my jam… and becoming an academic within the field fills me with pure joy…. But I wondered am I mad for going back to studies so late? Having being a FD academic/professor as a goal? I was thinking if I’m an academic or professor I can literally devote my LIFE to it and work into my 80’s as professors work well beyond the 70-75 Australian retirement age. Which means I have like 40 years plus left in me career wise! Yes I would love to have my own label - probably childrens wear- pretty much exactly what you said here - mini me type outfits, not the usual pretty frilly pink stuff.
    I would love your thoughts.
    Sorry for typos - typing while calming an angry toddler 😂

    This helped a lot, also I thought of my own design for ‘Happy’
    It’s most likely a childish scrawl, no detail at all, but I can’t get it out of my head
    Destination: Oregon
    -Sand-colored overalls, cotton fabric with a cardboard brown chest pocket
    White T-shirt with thin horizontal pale grey stripes
    Worn out Rain boots, neon yellow color fading
    An umbrella for the cloudy weather, the clouds bright white yet low to the ground and puffy, a simple leather strap around the wrists and one as a choker around the neck

    I love this video bc this mind map works for any creative process. I could use this method to write a script or a scene. I would start out with a different premise, not a theme but a logline and expand it from there. It’s always fun to see how other artists work. All art forms can inform one another.

    I find it so helpful to see someone else working a mind map.
    Some people say I am left & right brain and I’ve used the left brain
    to make a living so day job tends to be linear in thought process.
    I’ve worried that my creativity has been lost, but maybe not…
    This brainstorming of ideas feels comfortable to me!

The love for fashion never went away. Your channel is helping me so much, teaching me so much. Millions of thanks to you. Love this channel.
    Would you consider doing some videos on fabric surface development methods? Especially professional level fabric painting, printing and embroidery.
    Again infinite thanks to you for this great content. Today I was watching your videos on Fashion Illustration and wondering why were we not taught like this in our class!! We are so fortunate to have you.

      I have a Print Design playlist. Fabric painting is not something I do since it's not something scalable for manufacturing. Embroidery process is pretty straightforward. Embroidery companies need digitized artwork done in Adobe Illustrator and they'll make you a sample before production.

      I read 'hand-painted print with delicate embroidery', in a design description and was wondering what was that and how to do it. It was a gorgeous gown by Paulmi and Harsh.

    Designing a men's collection at the moment - 20's formal wear meets 70's flare, colour and vibrancy - sounds great, yeah but super struggling to get into design development - the illustration element and testing out all my theories under a tight deadline. Combining both and figuring out what to keep but also to make it wearable for today! - struggling! although trend-wise we are heading back into 'happier' brighter colours and vintage is staying in for sure - let's see- any tips you could share/ offer, I'd be so grateful for.

      The next step is to do the things I wrote in red: shop for fabrics, do draping experiments, etc.
