  • Welcome to my newest series: Watch Me Design A Fashion Collection. It's a little self-explanatory. I'll be designing a collection, sometimes I'll narrate a lot, talk you through my process, sometimes I'll just let y'all watch me work.
    I follow the Fashion Design Process I teach in schools and here on CZcams, but this series won't be a 1 video = 1 step in the design process format. I'mma go as slow as I want!
    In this first installment, I discuss what I've been finding inspiring lately and how I go about collecting images.
    If you want to learn the Fashion Design Process, check out this playlist here: • Fashion Design Process
    Watch the entire Watch Me Design A Fashion Collection series here: • Watch Me Design A Fash...

    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.

    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!

  • @Skoben2000
    @Skoben2000 Před 3 lety +5

    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!

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!

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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..

    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.

      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

      They are, they're complementary colors, they work really well together and both fairly wearable colors.
