Good luck 👍😁

I felt that. best of luck to you!

Good luck

Same girl same

How’s it going?

I think there are some questions that are more abstract that should be asked. But if you have done your due diligence and have research and still haven't found it then you can go to someone.

That part

Cool

How is it going? ✌️

Slow and Steady

Where can I go to find more brands out of Nigeria

It would be good if he had said in English speaking countries because all of it has to do with colonialism so there is this belief that that's the only place things are happening.

@@meezanlmt you're absolutely right.

@@elyan4458usually instagram but i also will check out sites like ssense that carry a wide range of designers.

Interesting thank you for sharing your perspective.

Yes! Friends are great for exposure. I would also recommend having a story or a reason for them to talk about it, create some buzz!

Yes Exactly!

Goodluck!

@@FashionRoadman thanks. Are you going to do a video on Pharrell becoming the new creative director for LV?

@@andrecaptures I’m doing a livestream tomorrow at 6PM UK Time

How does infringement work on works like that?

this isnt going to work. there is one thing we are actually ignorant about which is Branding. The branding is actually the best thing to focus on. know your audience and master your branding because at the end of the day people are buying a brand. since you mention that anyone can copy the work, it is hard to copy personality and thats what branding can do.

If ur extremely shy or introverted the only way to build an audience is to have amazing pieces of work and let them speak for you.

@@shiylon thank you for the advice! 🙏🏾 I’m hoping that will be enough

the private and public versions of yourself don't have to intersect! I do think it's important to sell yourself and your ideas, as customers want to build a sense of trust with a person not a brand. However, that person doesn't have to be a version of you on full display, you can be reserved, retain some anonymity, and build a version of yourself that's communicated the brand and all your other projects 😊

@@cybrself great advice! thank you!! 🙏🏾😁

I feel like after you get yourself out there enough times it gets easier. But there will be some days where you may feel like being more private, and that is okay. Just be authentic

Then you ask yourself if you really crazy LOL.

I would definitely recommend learning how to sew. Designing is great , but useless when to don't have the sewing skills to bring your designs to life. It's better to make the products yourself before hiring someone else to do it for you , so that you can then be able to communicate clearly how you want you products to be made. Your'e putting yourself in hot water if you're clueless about construction techniques, especially if someone's doing the sewing for you. You can simply buy sewing books and pattern books/ magazines. Popular pattern companies include Vogue patterns and Burda. A popular book for making patterns from scratch is the Wilfred Aldrich book. If you want to be taught in a class , it's best to take short courses. Going to uni may teach you the basics of sewing, but you will be bombarded with other assignments so won't have much time to properly learn how to sew.

It’s about having an audience. That doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with followers on any platform. All the “great” designers you know are because they had an audience. There are definitely designers in history that could have been more skilled than the likes of a Dior or a Balenciaga but because no one knew who they were their work will never been seen. So no, there’s no point putting all your energy in being the best tailor in the world. It’s about balance. Learn about tailoring, pattern making, sewing etc as you also learn about marketing, brand development, business etc People like to have this ideological view on life that doesn’t work in reality because every “successful” artist you know has an audience. In art and fashion we need to stop glorifying the archetype of the amazing starving artist because anyone that is great at anything can always find an audience of people that will appreciate their skill.
