They can be involved in all sorts of segments of the industry. Illustrators can help create concept boards or flesh out the designs, especially for private label clients. Illustrators can also be hired to do promo images for ads, for lookbooks, to add to websites for all different kinds of companies. Some also have technical skills and get hired to do flats. Some will clean up rough sketches so they can be digitized for beading or embroidery work. I've done all these things. I've also done large scale drawings to hang inside fashion boutiques. I did an illustration for a fashion school for their promotional materials once. (This is why it's especially embarrassing I forgot about illustrators until I sat down to edit.)
A Fashion Illustrator creates clothing designs by hand or with computer programs. When you're a Fashion Illustrator, your drawings are usually the first things that Fashion Stylists and Fashion Buyers will look at in order to make decisions for their clients. They are also used for ads and sales for the fashion house.
I'm 14😂and I get so stressed about my future and I always feel pressured to figure out what I wanna do and I'm so indecisive about everything😂although I admire like business women, you know the ones who wear suits and are classy and are smart and have a certain kind of power and vibe that I aspire to have and I like fasion but when I say I have absolutely NO clue about ANYTHING it's so true lmao.
i’m 16 and i have no idea what i’m gonna do with my life.. i just know the general direction i want it to go. i know exactly how you feel and trust me you have so long time to figure it out. there is a lot of pressure because it’s something you’re going to do for the rest of your life and not only do you need to survive with the amount of money you make, you also need to love your job. and i think that students have to make this decision so early on in their life but you will get through it
Girl I feel you in 15 and about to me a sophomore next year and I'm stuck on being an orthodontist, dermatologist or a career somewhere in fashion and since I live in GA there's this pathways we have to take and I decided to pick Health but now I'm lowkey regretting my decision and wanting to do something in fashion😭
I am also 14, trying to have a career in fashion being a fashion designer and I hardly know anything, usually due to money issues but it's genuinely really hard in the industry, but things go wrong and I improve from these mistakes
Road Work Ahead dude i just started college and i still have no idea what i want to be! and i feel you with having like three completely different paths to choose from, like sometimes i want to work in fashion, sometimes i want to be a doctor, sometimes i want to own a business, i have no idea yet everything just seems so interesting to me
Thankyou for this!! I'm almost finished high school and love fashion but wasn't sure if it was a dead end so this is so amazing to give me some spacial awareness and introduction to the industry
A very important video and a great rebuttal to people who write fashion off as this vacuous industry when there’s a small army of extremely talented people across primary, secondary and tertiary sectors of the global economy maintaining the machine that creates everything from t-shirts to haute couture gowns
People love to complain about how they can't find the right things to wear. Well, if people didn't care about clothes or fashion as much they like to say they don't, then why would it matter if their clothes weren't perfect? People care way more than they like to admit. I hate it when people say things like, "I don't care about clothes so I only wear this this and this." No, if you really didn't care, if you were truly "above thinking about such shallow concerns" then you would truly wear whatever.
I'm 20 and a major in finance and having a mental breakdown over what I want to do in life. And fashion has always been my love I don't know what to do
I just found your channel and I am so happy I did. I have wanted to work In fashion my whole life but I’ve felt so overwhelmed by the information and you do a great job by making it all so clear! Thank you!
this was very helpful! Maybe you could do a video on the leg work of doing a fashion show, I feel like theres so much that goes unnoticed and nobody knows the process between designing the garments to them coming down the runway
Funny how I just watched this video for the first time tonight, August 2, 2020 and although it is still super relevant I can't ignore that the whole world has changed and from this point on it will change some more. For one we don't know what direction fashion Shows will take. Anyway, thank you so much for making this video because there are so many avenues that are connected to the fashion World that unless you know you don't know, that you don't know they excist. We are so fortunate to have someone of your level of knowledge Ms. Zoe Hong shinning light on so many subjects in the Fashion World through your wonderful channel!
I just finished my degree in apparel design production and am working on my business degree so these videos are such a good way for me to refresh my knowledge. Thank you!!!!
you have the coolest handwriting! man, been bingeing on your videos this past week... your content is GOLD!! doing all my research as I formulate my own fashion label!!
Don't take everything that people say literally ....she said that just in case she made a mistake on her writtening might seem kinda off...I am very scared of human beings these days...very weak and fragile thinkers...
The word you’re looking for in place of “handicraft” is generally going to be “artisans/artisanal makers”. Amazing video breaking down the myriad career paths in the fashion industry!
I've only started watching you recently but it's been so helpful with the fashion course i'm doing currently. All the questions i have my teachers never answer well, you have a video on
100 likes!! Zoe Can you please do a vdo on how to plan your fashion business and what things to cover in the business plan??? It would be a great help for people like me who want to start off their label. Thanks in advance!!
I use to be a technical designer for 3 years before going into tech long story short : It was not for me. my task was to -make technical sketch -Do the BOM on excel -chose labdip -make strike off (all over print) -communicate with manufacturer oversea -request first proto sample as well as fabric and trims and after that it was the fit tech job
Heyyy Zoe!! I recently came across your channel and I've learned so many things about fashion in such a short time! I was considering studying architecture but I believe that fashion is more hands-on and appropriate for me as a career. I feel such fulfilment when I make things with my hands. I've sewn 4 collections for my barbie dolls when I was 10 (I'm 17 and a half now) and I know knit. My parents are not really happy with that idea of mine and believe that I wont make enough for the living I want if I pursue fashion. This dilemma of mine is driving me crazy and don't know what to do. I loooove haute couture but I'm not sure if ill ever be able to find a job as a fashion designer in high fashion and cant decide what to do because my biggest fear is being unemployed 😂. Lots of love from Greece 💕💕
im a very similar situation iv been wanting cosmetology as well specifically estheticians but due to financial dilemmas iv been looking into fashion instead,i see your comment was a year ago please let me know what you decided to study instead of cosmetology (if you did study something else) and in your opinion the pros and cons. Thankyouuu
I wanted to become a fashion designer, but right before I was able to apply to FIDM in 2014, I had a terrible accident and now have nerve damage, and my hands constantly shake now. I wanted to go into the bridal or lingerie industry. I never stopped designing but my sketches are messy and when I try to make mockups of my pieces, I have an issue where I can't keep my hands steady. Do you have any tips or ideas on how to work around it?
I’m so sorry this happened to you, if only Mercedes could heal your hands 🥺, I’m sure you want a magical answer but all I can say is own it, work with the shakiness and make it part of your process 🥰🥰
I think you can still do it maybe Make friends with people that like fashion and work together to make designs and you can be the brains and they can build it
Thank you for this diagram video of the whole fashion industry. This has helped me a lot. I graduated with my BA in fashion studies and was thinking of going into merchandising because I only thought of retail. Now, with all this information, I can see that I am geared towards marketing and fashion show production. I was also thinking of applying to FIT for their 1-year AAS fashion business management program to supplement my BA. My BA consisted more of fashion history + cultures and an overview of the fashion industry (manufacturing, production) in general, not specializing in merchandising or design, like most program do. So with this AAS from FIT, I will not only have business knowledge but also a fashion school name brand that will help with networking. What is your opinion, Zoe?
So I’m in year 9 and we have to decided what gces we want to take I really want to work in fashion as it’s something I really enjoy yet at the same time I quite like the idea of being a makeup artist but also enjoy decorating like for example planning the design of a place or event like winter wonderland I know that those 3 things are so different and don’t really fit together I was wondering if there was a job that kinda fit that all or if it would be possible to have like a career in fashion/makeup and do decorating/planning on the side
I have no idea how to draw or sketch that's why I ruled out being a "fashion designer" but I'd love to be a part of the industry and be involved in fashion in some way or the other and be successful in what I do
Hey Zoe! What are your opinions on the ethical and environmental responsibilities in the fashion industry. I.e. Fast fashion waste/sustainability and sweat shops/fair wage?
Fashion basically needs to do better in every single category. We produce more waste than almost any other industry in the world. We need some kind of Fashion U.N. to track, highlight, and punish unethical factories.
@@zoehongteaches their role should also be like included here. right? eg: sustainability strategist (kind of advisor on eco friendly raw materials, sourcing & processing, dealing with policies & Stds, certifications ). coz I am one.
Costume design is a whole other universe I'm not knowledgable enough to discuss in depth. And I'm sure it's different whether you do theatre/opera or tv/movies, although I'm sure there's overlap too.
Hi, I'm new to your chanel and I find it incredibly useful! Could you make a video on the fashion film area that you mentioned? Thank you, thank you, thank you! xx-
No. They share skills, like knowing Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop very well, so you could transition, but CAD designers work on fashion projects like flats.
Without watching the video, I'm coming to the conclusion I need a job in the fashion industry where I produce pieces for the fashion shows and at the same time I want to be in charge of the shows. Location, theme, outfits ect. But then I realise to be able to produce pieces I need to be able to draw
This is such an useful and insightful video! I am aiming to have a career in the fashion industry, and it is very convenient to see the wide variety of possibilities available when considering what direction within the fashion industry would be the suitable one to me. I have a question though, jobs I've heard about in the fashion industry but struggle to really get proper information on what they entail are a creative director and art director. Could someone please explain to me what do people under each of these job titles do?
Hi Zoe, Thank you for this helpful video. I hope you are doing well. I'm not sure if you already talked about this topic, but can you make a video addressing whether a business degree would also be helpful in addition to a fashion design major. I'm worried that I will do the design aspect but won't have the business knowledge. Thank you in advance and I hope you have a great day
idk what segment of fashion i wanna get involved in yet (I'm 16) I just know I wanna sew thinks I create but thanks for the orientation I hope I find my way soon !!
I have no idea what i want to do. I'm finishing secondary school this month and will be going into 6th form by September and my options rn is between Econ and Accounting for my career path but i don't see myself there. I really enjoy working with my hands and being proud of things i made myself so i wanted to be a fashion designer recently but even though i can draw some decent sketches, I'm not talented at drawing and my sketches aren't unique enough to say that that is an attainable goal for me. I don't know what job i can strive for with the limited talents i have.
Im a little confused on what exactly to study to the specific career path. All i ever heard was fashion design and fashion business. So if i study fashion business in uni i could go any of the in the vid mentioned paths?
Hey Zoe I’m currently a fashion design student but i’m not sure if the pay is worth it, i’m considering a business degree instead. Which business majors are relevant in the fashion industry?
Hi Zoe! I really love your videos and they’ve been helping me a lot recently. Except, I’ve been wanting to take classes for fashion designing before I finish high school. I’m 14 at the moment and I was wondering how long it would usually take to learn at least the basics. Also, if I want to take fashion in college, what would it require? What if I don’t know a thing about fashion? Would I still be able to get into such universities or colleges? (Lol sorry for asking about so much, I’m just slightly worried because I have 4 years to figure things out, and it doesn’t seem like that’s enough time to me 😭)
Hi Zoe, I really appreciate all your videos on fashion, they're really helpful! I wanted to ask for your advice...if I don't know my place in fashion, what do I do? After watching your "Is Fashion Worth It?" video, I couldn't see myself being a designer, but I still want a career in fashion. Thing is, I seriously have NO CLUE of what aspect in the industry to pursue. I don't know where my skills lie. I love the visual aspects of it and piecing together outfits, but I can't put a label or stick a major to it...so i don't know WHAT to study.. It makes me doubt my decision to go into fashion in the first place. I'm applying to Parsons, Pratt, and F.I.T in the next month. Also RISD (in case I just do graphic design..(I heard it's more flexible in attaining jobs)) I'm just scared I would pick a wrong major and waste 300k. Would love to hear your feedback, and thank you in advance!
Can you make a similar video for other sectors? I'm interested in all other areas in digital world, in order to find the proper specialists for my needs. :)
Hello Zoe, I'm a young French litterature teacher who is learning how to sew. Is there a fashion career for people who are really into fashion history and art history? Thank you!
I'm 15 n want to do fashion designing sooooo bad.... but idk how, what n when... I GET SO FRUSTRATED OVER IT QUIET A FEW TIMES, Next year is my 10th n idk what things to do
Im 18 and im struggling to figure out which course exactly I want to put myself in debt for. I am passionate about fashion, specifically styling, or design (high fashion runway designs). I want to find a course that will benefit me with not only fashion but any artistic course, whether it be painting, sculpting, etc. Please help knowledge god :,)
What does marker maker do? Oh no! I've just googled it and found on fashion-incubator. This person optimalyses layout of the garment pieces for industrial cutter machine. Can I say it is the role traditional cutter used to do? But maybe cutter is the person, who makes patterns and then cut those pieces?
People talk about cutting in different ways but a cutter cuts. Marker makers make markers. Sometimes companies offer both services but they are totally different jobs.
Hey Zoe! I'm a really big fan of you since you started making your youtube videos, but I'm always kind of shy to write something to you. I'm unfortunately going through a bad phase in my designer life and I would love to ask you for some little advice. I don't want to bother you writing an e-mail, but maybe you could answer me quickly and this might me a problem for others as well... Would appreciate! My passion has always been drawing- Specially fashion drawing. I even made 2 courses on that in the past and that's really my thing. I learned alone fashion history and some technical aspects of the clothing making process. I also did a internship in a woman's fashion brand to learn a litte bit of pattern making and putting up a collection together. I am 19 years old, and since 6 I wanted to become a fashion designer. I sadly, never had the opportunity to learn how to sew properly. I always could repair bits here and there and work very little with the machine. I don't get accepted here in Berlin to study fashion design because the only school that is not private lays a lot on the sewing talent- Thing that I don't have. I applied last year and got refused. My project execution was really very simple, but thats what I can when it comes to sewing. People keep pressing me to study Arts because I'm not a clothing maker, but an Illustrator instead.... But I don't want it. I want to be accepted in this University here in Berlin, I just don't know how :( They really just evaluate your construction skills. I got really sad this year 2017 about it... Maybe you could give me some advice. I am here waiting to try again next year for the same school, because the others are private and I can't afford it. Thanks a lot! Ariel
product development associates, technical designers, they are the bridge between designers and production. They take a design and specify every measurement, every trim that goes into it, tracks initial sample making, etc.
Zoe Hong I ask because I would like to major in fashion business management at FIT and saw that production development could be a potential job with the degree. I watched a video about Macy’s product development program and was intrigued but slightly confused. So I don’t have to major in design to do it? And when searching for kinds in Indeed what should I type in fashion production assisntant?
First patterns are about getting the designer's concept accurate. Production patternmakers make small changes to make the production of the design more efficient, save fabric, make better markers, etc.
Maam , i have cleared the entrance of Pearl Academy , please advise shall i join or try for nift and if i cann't break Nift shall it is wise to invest in Pearl as it is quite expensive.
I am currently doing year 10 at school and want to be a fashion designer, cutting, draping , tailoring , sewing - would this just be a fashion designer or like something else? Or is this a seamstress ?
A great overview of fashion industry jobs. It's funny you forgot to include fashion illustrators, but sometimes it's hard to see what is right under your nose! 😊 👃🏼
What do fashion illustrators do?
They can be involved in all sorts of segments of the industry. Illustrators can help create concept boards or flesh out the designs, especially for private label clients. Illustrators can also be hired to do promo images for ads, for lookbooks, to add to websites for all different kinds of companies. Some also have technical skills and get hired to do flats. Some will clean up rough sketches so they can be digitized for beading or embroidery work. I've done all these things. I've also done large scale drawings to hang inside fashion boutiques. I did an illustration for a fashion school for their promotional materials once. (This is why it's especially embarrassing I forgot about illustrators until I sat down to edit.)
Thanks Zoe!
A Fashion Illustrator creates clothing designs by hand or with computer programs. When you're a Fashion Illustrator, your drawings are usually the first things that Fashion Stylists and Fashion Buyers will look at in order to make decisions for their clients. They are also used for ads and sales for the fashion house.
This is why I love army's. I can find them anywhere and everywhere.

Thank you so much for this ! 💜
VERY HELPFUL VIDEO, THANK YOU SO MUCH
This is such an useful and insightful video! I am aiming to have a career in the fashion industry, and it is very convenient to see the wide variety of possibilities available when considering what direction within the fashion industry would be the suitable one to me.
I have a question though, jobs I've heard about in the fashion industry but struggle to really get proper information on what they entail are a creative director and art director. Could someone please explain to me what do people under each of these job titles do?
Hey Zoé! Do you have any channels or programs you can recommend for handbag design? All I find is garments. Thanks so much! Love your fashion gems
U are amazing Zoe
Thank you for making the this!
Hi Zoe,
Thank you for this helpful video. I hope you are doing well.
I'm not sure if you already talked about this topic, but can you make a video addressing whether a business degree would also be helpful in addition to a fashion design major. I'm worried that I will do the design aspect but won't have the business knowledge.
Thank you in advance and I hope you have a great day
Can you please make a detailed description about retail merchandiser and buyer
idk what segment of fashion i wanna get involved in yet (I'm 16) I just know I wanna sew thinks I create but thanks for the orientation I hope I find my way soon !!
Love your videos !
Amazing ! Thank you soooooo much!!
I have no idea what i want to do. I'm finishing secondary school this month and will be going into 6th form by September and my options rn is between Econ and Accounting for my career path but i don't see myself there. I really enjoy working with my hands and being proud of things i made myself so i wanted to be a fashion designer recently but even though i can draw some decent sketches, I'm not talented at drawing and my sketches aren't unique enough to say that that is an attainable goal for me. I don't know what job i can strive for with the limited talents i have.
Very pro video :) nice i have 15 years in the industry.
Im a little confused on what exactly to study to the specific career path. All i ever heard was fashion design and fashion business. So if i study fashion business in uni i could go any of the in the vid mentioned paths?
You forgot stores haha! And malls and the people who work at every fashion store, like sales associates, retailers, managers, etc
Hey Zoe I’m currently a fashion design student but i’m not sure if the pay is worth it, i’m considering a business degree instead. Which business majors are relevant in the fashion industry?
Well what about illustrators, what do they do or what more is there involved in the illustration sector?😅
i love this video❤️
Wow. Thank you.
What does communication designs do in the fashion industry?
Ur writing is really cool

Zoe Hong okay thank you so much
Shows vast range for fashion.

Hi Zoe! I really love your videos and they’ve been helping me a lot recently. Except, I’ve been wanting to take classes for fashion designing before I finish high school. I’m 14 at the moment and I was wondering how long it would usually take to learn at least the basics. Also, if I want to take fashion in college, what would it require? What if I don’t know a thing about fashion? Would I still be able to get into such universities or colleges?
(Lol sorry for asking about so much, I’m just slightly worried because I have 4 years to figure things out, and it doesn’t seem like that’s enough time to me 😭)
I'll be making a video on prepping for fashion school pretty soon.
Zoe Hong Oh my gosh, thank you so much! I’ve been stressing about it and I didn’t know where to start, so this would help me a lot! Thank you again~
can't wait for this video!
Bts’ Hooyo me too I'm in the same predicament.:').
Will figure it out.
I'm also 14.
How did it go?
you are my new favorite hero
Hi Zoe, I really appreciate all your videos on fashion, they're really helpful!
I wanted to ask for your advice...if I don't know my place in fashion, what do I do? After watching your "Is Fashion Worth It?" video, I couldn't see myself being a designer, but I still want a career in fashion. Thing is, I seriously have NO CLUE of what aspect in the industry to pursue. I don't know where my skills lie. I love the visual aspects of it and piecing together outfits, but I can't put a label or stick a major to it...so i don't know WHAT to study.. It makes me doubt my decision to go into fashion in the first place. I'm applying to Parsons, Pratt, and F.I.T in the next month. Also RISD (in case I just do graphic design..(I heard it's more flexible in attaining jobs)) I'm just scared I would pick a wrong major and waste 300k. Would love to hear your feedback, and thank you in advance!
Sounds like you'd enjoy studying fashion merchandising, styling, or visual merchandising. You should research those majors.
excelent video!!
Can you make a similar video for other sectors? I'm interested in all other areas in digital world, in order to find the proper specialists for my needs. :)
Hello Zoe, I'm a young French litterature teacher who is learning how to sew. Is there a fashion career for people who are really into fashion history and art history? Thank you!

How do you become a stylist? What would you study in college?
Wardrobe stylist to be specific
I don't know much about stylists' career track but I do know some schools have fashion styling majors.

Hi my experience is embellishment work 20 years. How can I work with you
Thanks ❤
What does marker maker do? Oh no! I've just googled it and found on fashion-incubator. This person optimalyses layout of the garment pieces for industrial cutter machine. Can I say it is the role traditional cutter used to do? But maybe cutter is the person, who makes patterns and then cut those pieces?
Could you make a video about more tradional model. You know, about what it used to be when men wear suits at work. :P
The cutter unrolls the fabric, lays the marker on top, and cuts.
Thanks! I see some language differences, cause in polish everything design related is design and other stuff after is cutting.
People talk about cutting in different ways but a cutter cuts. Marker makers make markers. Sometimes companies offer both services but they are totally different jobs.
Hey Zoe! I'm a really big fan of you since you started making your youtube videos, but I'm always kind of shy to write something to you. I'm unfortunately going through a bad phase in my designer life and I would love to ask you for some little advice. I don't want to bother you writing an e-mail, but maybe you could answer me quickly and this might me a problem for others as well... Would appreciate!
My passion has always been drawing- Specially fashion drawing. I even made 2 courses on that in the past and that's really my thing. I learned alone fashion history and some technical aspects of the clothing making process. I also did a internship in a woman's fashion brand to learn a litte bit of pattern making and putting up a collection together. I am 19 years old, and since 6 I wanted to become a fashion designer. I sadly, never had the opportunity to learn how to sew properly. I always could repair bits here and there and work very little with the machine. I don't get accepted here in Berlin to study fashion design because the only school that is not private lays a lot on the sewing talent- Thing that I don't have. I applied last year and got refused. My project execution was really very simple, but thats what I can when it comes to sewing. People keep pressing me to study Arts because I'm not a clothing maker, but an Illustrator instead.... But I don't want it. I want to be accepted in this University here in Berlin, I just don't know how :( They really just evaluate your construction skills. I got really sad this year 2017 about it... Maybe you could give me some advice. I am here waiting to try again next year for the same school, because the others are private and I can't afford it.
Thanks a lot!
Ariel
Take a construction class and apply again. The university can't be the only place in a huge city like Berlin that teaches sewing. Good luck!
What do product developers do? Is there another name for it?
product development associates, technical designers, they are the bridge between designers and production. They take a design and specify every measurement, every trim that goes into it, tracks initial sample making, etc.
Zoe Hong I ask because I would like to major in fashion business management at FIT and saw that production development could be a potential job with the degree. I watched a video about Macy’s product development program and was intrigued but slightly confused. So I don’t have to major in design to do it? And when searching for kinds in Indeed what should I type in fashion production assisntant?
What’s the difference between a pattern maker and a production pattern maker?
First patterns are about getting the designer's concept accurate. Production patternmakers make small changes to make the production of the design more efficient, save fabric, make better markers, etc.
Maam , i have cleared the entrance of Pearl Academy , please advise shall i join or try for nift and if i cann't break Nift shall it is wise to invest in Pearl as it is quite expensive.
I am currently doing year 10 at school and want to be a fashion designer, cutting, draping , tailoring , sewing - would this just be a fashion designer or like something else? Or is this a seamstress ?
If you want to cut, drape, tailor, sew, you can become a cutter, a sample sewer, you can do alterations, you do custom tailoring or dressmaking.
A great overview of fashion industry jobs. It's funny you forgot to include fashion illustrators, but sometimes it's hard to see what is right under your nose! 😊 👃🏼
I know! It was such a facepalm moment! hahaha
