I wish you had more subscribers, as a 15 y/o who aspires to be successful in this industry, I cannot tell you how many unanswered questions I've had about this industry until I found your channel. You're really underappreciated, I just love your videos.

[@yanchospasov7517]

You forgot to mention that fashion brands who employ you in the first place ,use your designs and then throw you away like unnecessary garbage.

[@bustdownlydiana4913]

The 1 dislike is the fashion industry getting exposed

[@ceciliastella1218]

Designers! Remember we are all customers, we can make a change for a more sustainable fashion!

[@leylarustamova]

As Gabrielle Chanel once said "If you want to be great, be ready to get copied"

[@sebastianbanks135]

Hey hey party people.l love it when she says that!!

[@TishSmo]

My first lecturer had a saying, “imitation is the best compliment” the other thing he used to say was, “any publicity is good publicity”

[@gbkny1]

You know what your talking about. It's like people who criticise Kanye or Beyonce for how they dress, they are entertainers. They are not dressing for a 9 to 5.

[@preudencemphapang304]

You are a good fashion official and leader. You have the human element and empathy.

Great video

Ugly truth #6 Do NOT go into fashion to make money. 😂😂 Fashion companies are like super rich one day and dead broke the next day (but the show must go on so they don't ever let on).

[@michaelfehdrau4126]

Great explanation.. I like how she thinks with the 5 ugly truths. I am deaf and have a degree in fashion design.. I want to reveal the world that deaf can do it in fashion.. Thanks for show your educational inspirational video.. I love the word sustainable, we need to do with them to save the planet and animals.

I’m 11 and you are the reason I will be able to eat and shower when I’m older 🎀💕

[@soapibubblesthestrange9972]

I love sewing, and I adore vintage and lolita fashion. Some day I hope to make dresses myself and get a cert III in fashion design and tech here in Aus

[@audieos6420]

I wish you were around when I turned my back on the fashion industry after a horrific internship at a fashion house. I had so many questions- so much frustration -so much anger. Your insight would have been SO helpful. Well I'm glad you're here to help others. Keep up your amazing work. Thanks

[@nadiaaguiar386]

Omg I had to giggle at "his whole karl lagerfeldness" comment 🤣🤣🤣 you're too funny zoe.

[@keromin4377]

Love your channel and I'm not even anything related to the fashion industry (stem). You really make it easy for non fashion people to understand what goes into fashion and I learn so much from your channel!

[@yuvan1999]

THE ACCURACY!!! Especially the part about waste; it was really a huge eye opener to be in lectures about this at college (humble brag, but LCF is really out there with sustainability. I love my college.) , and it really has drastically changed the way I design. So, thank you Zoe for using your platform to spread that message!! As always, I really enjoyed this video, and it made me realize I do need to start making changes to ensure I don't fade into the background. Networking is something I struggle with, but I will definitely try a lot harder to push myself!

[@marzblaq7267]

Sensei Zoe, this is why I love this channel. Educational, with a big reality check. I didn’t even consider these aspects of the industry.

[@scorpioninblue]

Zoe as usual, you're right on point! I Love the way you shot down the myths that so many people have about designing , your upfront and frank frank discussions are vital for anyone who's thinking about a career in a tough industry.
