I swear this woman is an angel on earth

This was so helpful. I learned everything I know from you, no joke. I was sick of pitying myself and went to KZfaq, and I am so thankful that I found you. I never really thought about it until now, but really, you are my teacher. Thank youuu!

Zoe you’re literally saving me, I’ve always been a very artistic person, and my biggest passion is fashion, but my parents didn’t allow me to go to art high school (I’m Italian so the school system is probably a little different, you can choose what you study since high school, which usually consists of 5 years), and I went for human sciences instead (psychology, sociology etc..), in the past 5 years I’ve completely neglected my drawing skills for the amount of work load I had from school, but next year I’m going to uni and I’m set, I’m studying fashion design. I’m quite rusty, but your videos are a life saver, I’ve been drawing every single day for the past two weeks and I already see a massive difference. Thank you so much!

Designing is definitely harder than I thought , but I think I'm all in anyways

The fact that you have a plus size template!!! I'm DYING! Thankyou SO much!!

I have complete admiration for your ability to convey information in an unapologetic, objective and concise manner all while being inclusive, empathetic and real. Thank you.

Don't use your mom's dinner plates and don't use your teeth on the paint tube caps. Definitely relatable and I love how you keep it real.

I'm still in senior high school, and fashion is my hobby, yes I don't have any proper learning from it but I guess this video really helps me like in this pandemic, It's like I'm enrolling in a fashion school with a great teacher. Thank you for this!!!❤️🇵🇭

Hi,Zoe Hong I'm Boom I'm from Thailand actually I graduated from nursing science program and I have knowledge about fashion but I love fashion and I do really interested about it so your clip vdo It's very useful and helpful for me. 😘👍

Hi Zoe, do you think it would be possible to have a guest on the channel with movie costume design experience?

This is incredible, thank you so much Zoe! I am a complete newbie, I don't even know how to draw yet but I love fashion

hi Zoe, I'm 15 and i wanna pursue fashion design and your videos really help me figure out what to do! just wanted to say thank you

Rewatching all your videos now that I am retired and getting back into sewing. Just love your work. I use rolls of brown paper instead of the oak tag. Cheaper.

I've been watching your videos for the past couple of weeks, and ALL of them are incredible resources. I'm learning so much, and your speaking and teaching style is very motivating to me. I appreciate you SO much, especially in a world where almost every KZfaqr has some sort of sponsorship or in-video ad read. Thank you!

Even though i just graduated from fashion school, i watched the whole thing 🤣

I love youuuu u actually made my day I was crying cuz some of my classmates tore my new designs I showed them and told my ambition as a fashion designer 😔😔 so I got a notification of your videos and this video is AMAZING thanks so much 🖤🖤

I really appreciate this perspective. I usually go, 'Oh, I want to learn watercolors? Let me look up a watercolorist.' It's good to get the overview for someone who is using these products as a means to an end (and the same end as me) - and not as an artistic end-in-themselves.

From india(kerala)thank you zoe.proud to be your online student😍😍😍

The magnet thing for pins is so genius!

This was fascinating.I love colour and gouache so it took me way back to my art college days😊.

41:43 That entirely imitated conversation you had with yourself talking about the notcher is probably the funniest thing I have heard in a year. And the fact you end it with "whatever" is the piece de resistance. AND THEN, you go from a calm conversational tone and jump to your description of the bunny punch where your voice is very dramatic and booming, and the screen is suddenly covered with this intimidating behemoth of metal. There's whiplash in feeling calm and collected and suddenly very threatened by a giant bunny punch, and it is hilarious. Thank you so much for your excellently informing videos.

You'r the best and prprofessional Fashion Designer i am 15 yers old but i have a beautiful Fashion designing so cool I love u and I mostly love Fashion Designing .. ....

As you are drawing, you have reminded me of the tracing paper, cos I don't have a light box so I was struggling. Now I see your videos as you are drawing that there is something I can use called tracing paper. I don't believe how I made my life so difficult. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

thank alot @zoe hong, i have complete my presentation with your video.. 😊🥰

mam you are the best thankyou so much to put so much information here so that all can learn .. i love you so much ...

Must be a while since Zoe used a “home” sewing machine. There must be at least a dozen different kinds of bobbins used by different brands of “home” sewing machines and sometimes by different models of the same brand. Determining which kind you need for your machine is anything but simple, unless you consult your owners manual. Read the manual before shopping.

Zoe Hong really really really really really thanx because u are my favorite youtuber you've helped a lot of people I just really really appreciate your help

I love you so much for this. I refuse to give the art institute my money…and go into debt. Thank u.

I remember one teacher told us to use cheap dollar store makeup to get rich unique colors. She was a sub for our regular professor. We learned all types of "tricks" because she kept it real. Skip ahead some 17+yrs and low and behold, I watched a documentary on Karl Lagerfield, and guess what, THE MAN WAS USING MAKEUP PALETS from the drug store! I was mad, sad, and vindicated all at the same time. My school had a list of supplies and wouldn't accept any of your work that used any other brand. They always were the most expensive items that most would have to sell blood to get. Thank you for keeping it real and affordable.

Your every video is amazingly helpful, substantive and funny! Thank you very very much! 😊

I really enjoyed your video! Thank you for the tips good products and supplies. Your knowledge of color theory is bananas! ❤️

Thank you for sharing, I have some of the brands you are using and I love them.

This was really helpful! And I can use this to help design some stuff for my school💕

This was so insightful! Great video!

hi there, I'm in love with your work. you are the best teacher. love and peace from Pakistan.

This is soo informative. Love it. ❤️

very helpful especially about the thread snip vs embroidery scissor!

This was very helpful to me.Thanks

Thank you so much!!! I've been looking for channel who can teach something like this which is one of my hobbies since im so attracted to art thingy huhuuu lot of love from me Xoxo cylu

This video helps me a lot in my new hobby, Thank you so much for this lesson!!💙💙💙❤️

Thanks so much. You are an angel.

Going shopping now!!!!

Another awesome knowledgeable video. Thanks Zoe 🥰

Ok I'm too ying for learning this much fashion designer things I'm JUST A 10 TEAR OLD IN GIRL lol but thx I'll use these in future for sure

I learned so much from this lady. Thanks

What a detailed and interesting video!

Nice video and I learned a bit. I'm still trying to get past drawing stick figures or flat garments. I usually draw a rudimentary design and hand it to my kid to work with wnd he returns with what I envisioned. Painting is easy for me. I know that pattern notchers are what we are all supposed to use but its easier for me to mark the fabric with colored art pencils.

twill tape. exactly the name of product i want x i knew it existed but did not remember what it was called thankyou x

Glad I found this one,very good,thanks

I graduated from hospitality and tourism school but i think my passion is for fashion

i love your videos so much

Yo Zoey! I’ve gotten a few of the books you mentioned and some drips and drabs of supplies (like that pin magnet abs scissors), and my birthday was on monday so my boyfriend and mom chipped in and I got a nice little sewing machine so now I can’t wait for the weekend!! so excited! Thanks for all your help - especially with the books - that swatches one took forever to get to South Africa but it’s the best thing ever! like an adult version of the baby books with fun texture patches and peekaboo lift here and see how it stretches in this direction haha. I keep switching between reading a bit, but now I wanna practice a seam, but what about this book 😸 My credit card hates me but i’m living my best life! Also I think some of the concepts in the books would be tricky but then I go oh yeah this is what that vid was about :)

Thanks so much 👍☺️☺️☺️

Appreciate how to improve on that color wheel. I have that and drives me nuts. Wish I didn't have to make my own but - thank you for explaining how to go about it. Edit: rewatching and oh! Missed the first two color wheels somehow 😝 thank you for showing what and not just saying get a color wheel. 😁

Hi it is a great video, I love it

Hi ZOe, I love to watch your video......

This is great - I'm starting to go through the subjects again to recap since uni, and to be honest, my university course wasn't great so I have lots of gaps in my knowledge. How would you suggest to structure a week to study all the subjects? So I want to cover learning Fashion Design, Pattern Making, Draping, Illustration and business... Would you suggest dedicating a day to each subject?

Zoe: "Don't use your teeth to open the tube" Me: "How did she know.... ". Talking DIRECTLY to me. :D

Hey Mrs.Hong I love your page so much! It made me realize I can design more than just swimwear and since then I’ve been obsessed with trying to figure out how to become a fashion designer. I don’t have the money for school right now so your channel has been a God send but I’m a little unsure of where to start, do you have a recommendation on where to start with your videos first? Or do I just dive in and watch basically everything?

amen sister

I’m definitely not considering to start a fashion illustration career, but was plain curious about Adobe illustrator (I now have the cut down version for the iPad). I have used various graphic programs before: Paint Shop Pro (pc) and Procreate (iPad) and a little bit of Adobe Photoshop (pc) and to me they are all basically the same (eg working with layers, creating vectors, pen, pencil and eraser tools, colour manipulation) except of course the tools are located in different places and each program/app has their own set of special features. So after watching this video I decided to try out Illustrator and with my previous experience of other similar software I have figured my way around most the tools in minutes and it is very intuitive and easy. Therefore I question why you specifically need previous experience in Illustrator to get such a job?

This came out just as my class ended :D

Krita is a Great alternative to Adobe Illustrator

Great advice x

teach color theory for fashion

You owned two of each, so funny 😂

Hi Zoe! I love your videos, and I learn a lot from them, thank you for that! Meanwhile I saw you using a red color erasable pencil in one video, but you didn’t mention those. Which one you recommend? Thanks!

I have watched many videos and i am thinking how one wana become. A fashion designer and didn't following her and learn new things from her

What suppliers i need to study shoe designing...specifically women shoes heels/ pumps/sandals etc??

very helpful...also what happened to fashion history? I learnt so much from those videos too

My mother was a multimedia artist and I have inherited her materials (Zero of her skills or knowledge.) Much to my regret she is no longer here to help me get started. First, I'm still on the color wheel thing. Basic primary color affiliations I'm good with. It's the blending to create color I am trying to get a better feel for, what does it take TO achieve the teal I am looking for. You suggested (my words not yours) mess around with color to see how one affects another recommending Gouache medium. I have 13 Holbein gouache: Mars Violet, Cobalt Violet, Brilliant Orange, Opera, Geranium, Prussian Blue, Burnt Sienna, Permanant Green light, Cadmium Green, Cadmium Green deep, Naples Yellow, Lemon Yellow, Pearl White. Am I correct I would need to acquire more, pure color (+ black, white, gray) to create my own 'blends' color wheel? Honestly I'd like to avoid purchasing more materials considering I have so many already. Also have a ton of pastels 90% chalk like and a as yet unused set of 25 oil pastels. Looking up trying to figure this out I'm confused with the terminology used, crayon, pastel… am I correct neither of those pastels work with water? (Not getting anywhere using them dry.) Next I have a Garan D'Ache Neocolor II Aquarelle unused set of 15 missing any green, my favorite color. (Appears it's slot is occupied by another violet.) Finally quite a bit of watercolor…. (I have some colored pencils however, none are watercolor and unhappy after messing around with them. I have markers but that was not one of Mother's mediums and from my experience not mine either at least at this point. Plus they are old, it's spotty amongst the variety not completely dry and were child Elementary School to begin with. 😁) So, what do you recommend LOL? -Purchase more, expensive Gouache in primary colors? - Look for a green watercolor crayon/pastel? - Just get a set of primary watercolor pencil? -Have a go with watercolor? -Silly, just pull from any of what I do have like loads of green Gouache, just use that with the watercolor crayon... And last but not the least, on what paper do I create this masterpiece? 😁 I have Boodles of all sorts, and paper IS one of my mediums - just not painted or drawn on. Is 1 more suited to type of pigment and/or less lukley to end up a blur of mud Browns 'color' wheel? Just trying to narrow down what to look for, hell locate, in the plethora of types of paper I have at my disposal (I won't live long enough to try everything. 😏) I'm guessing vellum is a no-go 😆 but should I dig out something with a light or heavy tooth? Stick to the Arches watercolor paper, what Weight vicinity? A print, card stock? Mahalo nui loa in advance. 🍍

Hi Zoe do u have a video on how to illustrate holographic fabric?

Wow 👍👍👍👍👍

thank you!!

Thank you so much

Hello ! Thank you so much for your sharings

Can you do a turtorial on how to draw clothes on the figures.

thank u so much love uuu

Hey I love all your video and follow every lil thing you tell in the video. I'm a Knitwear student but have this huge passion towards fashion design, could you please tell how to become one as I'm already in the field of design and also heard both these things are kinda similar. What parameters should I work on to be a fashion designer without like taking it as a course?

Zoe I’m wondering what is the general rule for fabric and drape like I want to do a long pleated winter skirt in a heavy fabric and everything for longer skirts recommend gathering the skirt so is there a general rule because I love breaking rules but I respect experience too🤓 like what can you do to make heavy fabrics replace lightweight maybe?

good to know/

Thanke you

I just use a number 2 pencil, a 03 & 02 micron pen, and an entire set of Crayola washable markers 🤷‍♂️

Thanks a lot 😍😍

Hi I am 14 years old and I am interested in Fashion Designing my Dad is very supportive and I can draw but I do lack in some places I can't do sewing which I will learn soon .

Hi Zoe Hong, I’m really loving your wonderful videos. You’re very funny and witty, while sharing lots of your knowledge generously. I love that you’re in search of the best white gel pen. Do you have a video of your reviews so far?

ok. Glancing over my circa 20 ys of buying art supplies, I think I have everything but the curved rulers, metal pins, the mini scissor and the XXXL bunny rabbit... XD

hi zoe im phistica im 10 and i love fashion im wanna become a fashion desighner but everyone says i cant because i cant draw😮‍💨

Hi, I wanted to ask what your opinion is on summer courses in fashion. I am studying economics rn (1st year) but I would love to do some summer courses (not the most expensive ones ofc), to prepare for a potential career in the fashion industry in the future. What would u recommend. From your perspective, what do you think of my idea? Love ur channel

I am a bsc fashion design first year student. What are the scope a designer

Hey! Thanks for the insight Zoe, your videos are always really helpful. I usually sketch and draw illustrations on an Ipad Pro, and that works really well for me. Do you think that would be acceptable to use as a primary tool in US fashion schools? I'm planning to attend Santa Monica College next year.

Must needs to draw the anatomy of body? Can't we draw the design directly
