Being a socially awkward person in the fashion industry has to be the most ironic thing, but yet here I am😩😂
Not even close. Plenty of socially awkward people in every industry, except sales.
SAME. Thats really all I can say 😭
These tips are great for people in any industry. So wish someone told me these tips back in college
Benny Luong I was thinking the same thing!
@@sinfante93 Back in college, my peers would talk about networking was basically bothering people to get a job. I wish people would stop promoting terrible information on how to develop your career
Very true.
Totally! I was just mentally translating this tips to Architecture and they do line up nicely
I totally relate in regards to finding it awkward talking about myself, so I never do. But I LOVE talking about others accomplishments.
Thank you for this - you gave me ideas I hadn’t thought of and reminded me I need to get over my fears around social media and engage more.
You're welcome and good luck!
I really love your channel!.. You are very informative and comical at times... Thanks
Thanks!
Visiting this 2 months before I go into my first year of art school , thank you !
You know every single time I feel lost and don't know what I am doing in fashion school,I come here.
Zoe thank you for your videos no matter how old they are,they get me back on track.
You have this answer to question I don't know whom to ask.
❤❤❤❤
"When I say you another option I mean you have to do them all" LOL! Great tips, thanks!
This video also made me realize that I attributed such a negative connotation to the word "networking", that even my tummy hurts to think about it, so I use its description: "build relationships" and I feel so much better about it, because that I can do.
Have a great week!
Yes, your mindset is so important! Build relationships!
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE, BUT DUE THIS VIDEO I FEEL I JUST LOVE YOU ALREADY!!! SERIOUSLY 😂💜
To be honest, this is the most useful video I've seen in terms of networking. I been looking everywhere for useful information. However, this video stands out. I wish you the best in your journey into the fashion industry.
I am the absolute worst at social situations, and have anxiety and struggle with rejections. I am so glad I found you now. I’m in my second year of college and can hopefully work on myself before grad school
Love your real talk, Zoe! And your makeup looks especially lovely today. ❤️
Thanks!
Really a big fat huge thanks to you zoe..i couldn't afford studying fashion design ..but really glad i found you cuz you are making different in my life and my carer..thxx again teacher zoe ..greats and love from syria 💙💙💙
You're welcome and greetings to Syria!
Great dense informative as always !!! It’s a struggle :-/ but you are so right
Zoe! Please come to Boston and teach at my school!! That would honestly be the best thing ever!
Ask your school to ask me! :D
Wow what a great story on meeting with a student for a fashion show and then having him set up the interview for the professor position!
This reminds me of a talk I was giving young adults about networking. They expected TV quick networking results etc... I have horrible anxiety but I am good at talking to strangers because I practiced
Thanks for these brilliant suggestions.
The timing for this video couldn't be better, I'm just publishing my first fashion portfolio ta start a new Instagram page. Did you ever think about a series talking about social presence for fashion students?
You’re a real one. Your videos are so in-depth.
As a young adult who has recently moved across the country and doesn’t have much history in the industry this definitely helped!
This was sooooooo helpful!!! Thank you so much! Much appreciated 🙏🏽
I have been following you for a while and I think you’re wonderful. This video is a hit full of info.
Love your thoughts and advice. You rock !
The first 2 mins in and I am shaking my head yes!! and hitting the thumbs up ❤
Thank you so much for giving such wonderful ideas about networking and being so down to earth. As someone who has recently decided to switch to fashion industry, I can totally connect to the content and see the hope towards knocking on the door of fashion industry. Just followed you here and on the FB group, and will take my time to read your other videos and posts. Cheers!
Wow! Such a wealth of knowledge and information. I wish I had seen it sooner. I have so much to learn. I like your style and blunt honesty. Thanks for sharing.
Getting out and doing more networking and volunteering, etc was my main goal for 2020. Had a great time last fall as a volunteer at a local convention. Then everything happened. I think that your social media networking suggestions will be super helpful for me. I truly appreciate all of the work that you are doing with your videos to help people out and am glad that I found your channel.
Thanks you for this Zoe! It's been a month haven't got to open your youtube channel. I'm studying Fashion Design but I lost track doing it because something bad happen and I lost my motivation. Now I'm trying and your channel helps me. Salamat! From Philippines

Hi Zoe, thank you so much for this video it's really helpful... I'm about to graduate at university so these are exactly the tips I need to start my design career. I was also thinking of building social media presence because I'm not very present on social media at the moment, 😅 so thank you for the tips on that too ( I think I already left you a comment on how I think that you are able to read minds, because you always come up with the right videos at the right time, or the right time for me at least 😊) Thank you again for this video and for all the passion and love you put in all your videos... wish you the best!... Love from Italy ❤️
Thank you for your nice note. Congratulations on graduation!

Thank you Zoe ❤️
You're welcome!
Thanks for your info... they re really helpful...i always look forward to your videos...pls let us know about social media too...
awesome video
i wish i saw this before DMing you ..lol...your amazing thank you very much
To be honest when I liked the works of fashion designers I like and wrote the comments, I often received only ignorance. People didn't try to bother themselves to write at least "thanks". And it was very offensive for me, because my compliments were honest, I didn't try to use someone or to make them love my works. And on LinkedIn after adding someone, I was writing messages like "hello, nice to meet you, thanks for adding me" people also ignored me. No "thanks", nothing. I am talking about European and American fashion designers. I am Russian and Russian people always answered me at least "thanks". Before I thought that European fashion industry is very contemporary and polite. But after all I understand that people are very arrogant and snobby. And very hypocrite. I would love to be wrong. But all my experience tells that Russian people are a way more kind, open and gentle. To be honest after this experience I don't want to write good things to anyone. I respect myself and I don't want to kiss the asses of people who think that they are way more better than me.
Thanks for the info
You're welcome!
Thank you so much 😁
You're welcome!
Your blush looks super cute here. 😊
Do a video on how to find manufacturer's
Hey Zoe, I wanted to say that I want to be a fashion designer and want to work with a company and after some experience, I want to start my own fashion company. I am so confused about what studies should I do. Can you please make a video where you can tell us about the studies in college and universities to be a fashion designer and a fashion company owner.
Thanks
Thank you
You're welcome!
zoe zoe zoe!! I need some advice! i'm starting my 3rd year of fashion school in September and we need to create a collection throughout the year but so far in class we've only focused on learning how to make clothes. this is my one chance to show what i'm capable of and my creative universe buuuut... i'm struggling to define my style. do you have any tips on how to narrow down your style? thank you for the awesome video as always!! definitely need to get on my networking game
Nothing to do with fashion but I love your makeup 💄:)
Hey Zoe! Thank you for your fashion wisdom again. What fashion companies can you suggest we follow on LinkdIn?
Companies you want to work for.
I’m attending uni in the fall for Fashion Merchandising and I have so much to learn!
Do you have any advice for a “non-design” fashion career perspective? My goal is to work as a wardrobe stylist and as a buyer for major chains. Love your channel!
No, I don't really like to talk about things that are beyond my experience. If you want to get into buying, merchandising is definitely the right degree to get, because you don't really need a degree for styling. Retail experience helps, if you really pay attention to what people are buying, what people are trying on but not buying, stuff like that. Good luck!
Zoe Hong I appreciate your honesty. I may venture into design someday but for now I want to learn the business side. I get a lot of generic answers for “become a wardrobe stylist” online so I think networking will be critical. From your videos I still pick up valuable tips and knowledge about the industry
Thank you
hello! idk if u mentioned this in the video but if u didn’t, then my question isn’t rlly related to networking. but, after fashion shows with all the amazing outfits, what do the designers, or who’s responsible for it, do with them? it’s ok if u can’t answer it, but i still love your tips! 💜
No, that has nothing to do with networking so I didn't address that in this video. After shows, the samples get used for more photoshoots, loaned out to magazines for shoots or celebrities, different publicity functions, special pieces get saved in the archives, and the rest often end up in sample sales.
Zoe Hong thx so much! your reply helped me a lot, but i’m also wondering if doing those is basically loaning them for other purposes and if it’s beneficial.
Depends on who you loan out to. You have to decide each time.
Zoe Hong ok. that’s all i needed to know. thank u so much! 💜
Can you make video on how to make luxury products and services or luxury accessories design
I'm trying to catch up on your videos. I've watched them on ROKU whilst having coffee and waking up. I just haven't gotten online much. I have to see a doctor next week, turn in paper work etc. Every mundane thing that needs doing is rearing its ugly head. At times being an adult really sucks the life out of one. My apologies if I'm being a downer.
Great video and the best advice I've heard as far as building relationships. Those aren't the first things one would think of when trying to garner attention and reaching out to others. I can see why it was suggested to you to become a teacher. 😄
I don't have any art questions for this comment. Maybe you can help me with something else. I love graphic tshirts! 😍 I love getting my hands on loud, sketchy ones with graffiti and street art. I've been trying to find graphic shorts. Haven't had much luck. I did find a company called Royal & Awesome (link below for reference) that makes some cool as hell graphic golf shorts in my size. Other than that I'm only finding swim trunks. If you or anyone you know knows of a company that makes shorts like this then I'd be grateful if you'd comment it to me here or drop me a pm on Facebook.

Sorry, dude, this is not exactly the kind of stuff I like to wear so I don't really know but those argyle capri pants are pretty cool.
@@zoehongteaches I appreciate it anyways. 😊 I did find some camouflage cargo shorts in multiple colors. They're not exactly what I was looking for. They are however hot colors and uncommon colors. They're actually made by a military gear company Rothco.com They have uncommon colors red, purple, orange, blue etc. On Amazon I found PUMA's Wild Pack shorts. From the look of them they're basketball or athletic shorts. Cool as Hell though! 😀
I don't really understand why there aren't a lot more printed shorts available. Anyone who likes loud colors and graphics and statement pieces would buy. And today that's a lot of people young and old. Prints and graphics shouldn't be limited to just swim trunks and lounge shorts. They should be on basketball shorts, cargo shorts etc.
I made a tribble mistake, don't talk smack :)
Make a name u wont be embarassed about a few years later.... I had a channel named Big fat mama lama 😂😂😂😂😂 I know exactly where this advice is coming from.
You look so beautiful girly I was staring at them red lips ok!!! 😄
Hiii🙂
