I'm 16🙈🙈,(I've been sewing since i was 12)and i sell cute dresses at my high school and to friends. (alot of my friends say i should do fashion but i only do it as a hobby because i want to study nursing😊) I decided to start my own business because dresses at stores are waaaay too expensive, so i create sexy peices for affordable prices because i know how it feels to be broke girl who just wants a pretty dress or to look good at a function or party, and my business boomed within just three days, im so happy but I'm scared because I'm in grade 12(my final year of high school) idk how to focus on sewing by myself and focus on school work 🙈❤️i try to manage my time, my parents really support me. I still need to do my labeling and packaging. I can't wait for this year!!! I'm nervous but I'm going to push myself❤️😊
I’m so glad I went into Fashion Merchandising but thank you for talking about this, I learned some things not addressed in uni. I think another good point is to work in retail to learn how a business operates.
i find your channel really helpful and lately i've started to, very loosely, develop a company and i'm researching a lot about starting a fashion business here in Portugal. if you continue this it would help me so much. so yes continue it please
I'm currently doing my economics bachelor and i had several classes where we used the Business Model Canvas. It's basically a canvas to help anyone answer the most critical questions concerning any business, just as the ones you mentioned in the video. A great tool which gives a good overview. Strengths and weeknesses become more obvious this way and can be fixed earlier if needed.
Another gem!!! Zoe, as a business person who has always loved fashion and am now going after my dream of creating my own label, you provide more concrete advice and content than many of my classes at Parsons. If (but really when :-)) my business is successful, it will be due in part to your help and guidance. Thank you so much for what you do!!
Zoe I just wanted to say, you honestly are probably one of, if not THE most useful source of information for people who are nervous, new, uncertain in this business. Ive learnt more from you in the past 2 weeks than I have from anyone else on youtube. Please keep on doing what you're doing. You've helped me, and I am sure so many others. THANK YOU!
I never knew some companies started out with 2 products. I guess at first it's about really nailing a product that satisfies a customer's needs/wants and then scaling from there? Thank you for this awesome video.
I think what I like more than the education you give, is the fact that you not giving shout outs and “click the like and subscribe button” things for the first 30minutes of your videos 🥺🥺🥺🖤😭
Your videos inspire me! I want to become a designer with my own business in the future, with an intent to offer more to men’s fashion, as I have felt so limited to what I can wear as a boy. Thank you!!
I'm in love with your channel and I've been watching this lately very closely and I totally feel you have the answers to my questions but more important, the questions to my answers! I know it might sound naive but some of the things you say on your videos are situatios I was figuring them out by myself and now I see I am more aware of most of them that I thought I really was (apparently) Even though I have some experience in my fashion field, I realize I lack a looooooot of things to restart my brand (I had to close my store and move out due to political issues in my country Venezuela) One of the things I've learned with my brand is that the kind of customer you choose is not necessarily the one who is attracted to your brand. I agree with having a partner that can work in those things you know you can delegate.
Hey guys, if you're looking to start a clothing line in the UK I recommend The Pattern Room they do Tech packs, Pattern Cutting, Sampling and Small production runs MOQ 5-10 made in England
Thanks Much Zoey for this New Year Motivational Video! It’s another year to Dream and set some goals, hopefully I achieve something better this year! 👍🏻❤️🎆🍀
I'm 21yrs old from Nigeria but living in Egypt but I Am returning back to my country soon but i do like to own my own company too an start my own fashion company so i wish for successfully tnks
HI Zoe!! I know your talking about serious stuff I was trying to find the video about why you would not ever go on on of those reality fashion shows...truly hilarious anyway cant find it!! Am I not looking in the right place? Cheers from way up North where work boots and Carharts are fashionable. Probably why i love this channel.
Hi Zoe, So want to know your opinion on some businesses that just put out weekly collections without any themes. Like fast fashion businesses. In my country I never see those businesses sticking to a theme in style, color etc. But they sell pretty big, weekly collections include 20-30 styles. So I wanted to know is it really necessary to find an underlying theme for the collections you create, or just go with each piece you design? What do u think?
Hey Zoe , I love your videos and soak in all the expertise. Would you make a video on the essentials of setting up a small production unit. Like what machines are necessary, what are the overheads and How should one decide and manage the wages .
Very good points Ms. Zoe Hong! Got a question as I know few local designers(I live in Miami)who do made to measure evening wear but also sell at smaller boutiques. The question for you is with so many options at many price points been made in Asia do you think is a good business to go after that particular sector? Again, thanks for loving Fashion and for sharing so much through your wonderful channel!
I’d be curious to know your take on fast fashion e-commerce sites like Shopify and woocommerce. It seems like a lot of folks who aren’t designers, nor intend to be, link up with wholesalers, and the items they sell are maybe about 40% the product and 60% about the marketing or on some occasions I see 20% about the product and 80% about the marketing. Do you feel this kind of quick and easy access to a part of the fashion industry takes away from the ingenuity or creativity that has long been attributed to the field? Or do you feel like we’re heading in an alternative way of creating a fashion brand/label?
Love your videos! Can you cover some topics of law requirements on starting a fashion business in the States, especially in New York? Thanks in advance!
No, hire a lawyer. This is one aspect where you need to spend the money on an expert to do things properly. I'm not a lawyer and I've never run a business in New York.
Question about demographic research. I have an idea of who I wanted to sell to. You mentioned study their life styles, disposable incomes, and such. Is there a place I could go and read about these type of information? For example, I would like to sell to young professional, working young mother who works in the creative field and appreciate art and beauty. How can I learn where they shop? What are the decision factors contributing into decision making of a handbag purchase? It would be super helpful if you could advise me. Thank you in advance.
Ms. Hong! This video was AMAZING! Please continue sharing your solid advice for emerging fashion designers. I currently teach at the Community College in El Paso and we are big fans of you and Ms. Kathleen Fasanella from ALB incubator! I wanted to ask if you had a recommendation for a business law read for people wanting to start their business online in 2019, that you recommend? Thank You.
Hi Zoe, I have been following you for years and I have decided to start my fashion business this year. I have some questions, please what platform can I reach you?
hi zoe, i have been following you for quite sometime and am looking at starting at my own brand as well. I have been in a dilemma forever, whether i should go for masters to get better knowledge at menswear(category i want to focus) or go for a bigger brand to work with abroad? though i do have 2 yrs experience with a startup menswear brand in my area(india). i have no one else to guide me through. Wish you would reply to this. thank you
Please Zoe help, How can one be original in their designs, if future competitors are going to copy or knock off their designs anyway.. and sell it to their own wide audience and platform.. possibly even for cheaper..! How do i compete/deal with that?? It seems a bit discouraging.. Please share your outlook on this one! I ideally would like to sell mainly under private label and wholesale. P.S. I totally love your whole VIBE, you're gorgeous and I'm hooked on your channel, thank you!
@zoehong In customer analysis portion of defining the "who," do you know any data resources to assist that process? Or are these successful brands knowledgable through the many collections that customers have interacted with?
Hi Zoe, another interesting que as always. Please I have a question. I would like to have your take on it. Assuming I want to collaborate with designer, can I have just my label of the garments or is it a must to have both labels on the items that we will be producing?
Hey Zoe, another request, can you do a video on houte couture? A to Z please? Please please Zoe ^_^ And if anyone is interested on starting her own line **houte couture ofc :'-) **, what advices and tips will you give her?

I wish you will release a video about making Business plan and how to pitch proposals. Thanks! More power to you 👍🏻👏
wow, what a great video! thank you for existing!
Thank you so much Zoe!😱 very insightful and helpful!❤️
Hey Zoe , I love your videos and soak in all the expertise. Would you make a video on the essentials of setting up a small production unit. Like what machines are necessary, what are the overheads and How should one decide and manage the wages .
It really depends on the product you're sewing. Production for leather jackets is going to be very different from lace slips.
Another awesome one!
Very good points Ms. Zoe Hong! Got a question as I know few local designers(I live in Miami)who do made to measure evening wear but also sell at smaller boutiques. The question for you is with so many options at many price points been made in Asia do you think is a good business to go after that particular sector?

I have a question is having a fashion designer degree is necessary to start my business in fashion industry?
nope
@@zoehongteaches so then what I really need to work in this industry?
Working in the industry is different from starting your own business. You'll need some sort of degree to work for another company.
@@zoehongteaches okay thank you for the information 😊☺️
Thanks

thanks!
Do you think selling in Italy is a good Idea?
Jeez , where have you been all this time?

I absolutely love you Zoe. I really do. Thank you for everything.
ya know i never received the male and female torso i ordered from you in etsy. i wonder why
Can you message me through Etsy using the account you used to purchase so I can track your order?
Hi Zoe, another interesting que as always. Please I have a question. I would like to have your take on it. Assuming I want to collaborate with designer, can I have just my label of the garments or is it a must to have both labels on the items that we will be producing?
I would have a new label with both your logos on it.
Alright. Great thank you. So this mean the collaboration h&m does with several other designers has their labels on too.😊
Zoe , new subscriber here. 30 seconds in and I love your personality.
Thank you!
