Identifying Silk Fabrics video: • Learning About Fabrics...
In this installment, I create a customer visual collage, work on my color story, collage colors and textures onto figures, start thinking about fabrics, narrating everything.

Welcome to my newest series: Watch Me Design A Fashion Collection. It's a little self-explanatory. I'll be designing a collection, sometimes I'll narrate a lot, talk you through my process, sometimes I'll just let y'all watch me work.
I follow the Fashion Design Process I teach in schools and here on TH-cam, but this series won't be a 1 video = 1 step in the design process format. I'mma go as slow as I want!
If you want to learn the Fashion Design Process, check out this playlist here: • Fashion Design Process

Just let you know this series of videos may not be amusing as others but they are really helpful for someone who actually wanna learn how to design a fashion collection like me! Love it!
ah these are perfect! i love this series. I am a fashion design student but im so new in this. im in my second semester and straggling with designing and all the creative process. I just fund your channel and im just watching everything. thank you so much. they are soooooooooo useful and informative. and not boring at all! ❤️❤️❤️
Love this video. You make creativity so accessible. Some really brilliant techniques. Thank you for sharing in such an easy to follow and apply style. Big big thanks.
I love so much your process 💖💖💖 thanks so much 👍👍💯🥰🥰🥰
Hi Zoe, how many more episodes of the series? Just checking :)
It's like watching your favorite TV series - having to wait for another week is agonizing. I'll be like, in paradise, if I can watch them all at once :)
Exactly 718.3 episodes.
Zoe Hong 😄 I'll have to be patient then 😄
Literally Diane Keaton.
I don't think your videos are boring at all ! I think they are really inspiring and relaxing 😊💗
Yeah I literally watched this design series 5 times now. Maybe the finances parts are really boring, but of course it is.
I think this series is great for those like me who want to learn and understand the process of creating a collection
i dont find any of your videos boring at all , i actually feel grateful that you give us a real perspective and its not all just for show with editing and music like typical youtubers, this feels more realistic. i usually put you on when im at my work desk and just absorb everything you do and say and sometimes i even write notes and more importantly its free information !!! and your funny too so that helps lol
Dirty Diana oo
I'm not in fashion and I love this series. I had no idea how much is involved. Love it.
I paint more than design but its very fascinating being let into someone's design process. Same reason I used to binge on Project Runway
i’m 3 years late but i love this series! its awesome to see what goes into a collection especially for someone who wants to pursue fashion. thank you so much!!
Stranger Things is AWESOME, and you should check out Legion; also awesome, and the visuals are great I think.
I thought the exact same thing when Zoe mentioned Stranger Things: The color and costumes and lighting in Legion are beyond stunning. So artfully done.
(๑ˊ͈ ॢꇴ ˋ͈) It really is! ♡॰ॱ
Ok, I'll look for it!
I'm interested in seeing the whole process! I watch your videos because I want to create a graphic novel series in a fictional world and your videos help me figure out how to dress my people in my world :)
Also! I would eventually like to design some apparel to sell on etsy
Hi Zoe! First let me thank you for making this serie! Really! I love it! Unfortunately I do not deign with you, even tho I would love to! Time and money is in the way. But later I will start a new design project and replay this serie and have you with me with new and older videos! Lise
10:00. "not enough action..." Yeah...work is work!! Haha! I so appreciate you showing the work!
Since i discovered your channel i have been watching all your videos. I love the process you use to design. I am 59 and reinventing myself. I use to sew years ago. Lost sight of it. Kids grown, divorced and aged, i can restart! More than one way to fight age discrimination in the world of business! Your videos are soo helpful. Thank you.
Omg! The way you described having 2 brains! I feel the exact same! I can't help it! It's kinda of comforting knowing that there are more people like that
I love the idea of collaging on your croquis. I'm going to try that out. I'm dabbling in children's wear and also this would be great to show in design journal to my professor this fall semester since I'll be taking a portfolio class.
Hey Joe
Ur videos are very helpful luv u best teacher.
I have request u to make video differences between inspiration boards, mood boards, theme boards and story board ND which one is important for design process.
Please explain it
Hello Ms. Zoe Hong you got so many fantastic videos! I was just thinking as I watched it that a cool idea for this collection may be making clothes out of interesting shapes in neutral colors and then paining over it like Alexander McQueen did on Shalom as she turned and got painted by the robots.
I wish I didn't have to wait a week... I'm so intrigued and excited to see where this is going
Hi! Your videos are great and so helpful!
I wanted to ask you that max how many colors should I put in my color story if I am going to make a collection of max 10 designs? Including the colors I am going to use for my prints and patterns
You are soooo not boring!!! Those speed videos dont teach me anything!!! Thanks for doing things your way...dont stop!
This series has been perfect for me while I draw, it's helpful because I'm learning about the design process and although I'm not into designing fashion I feel like the concepts can be applied to other arts and also just listening to you talk and watch your process is relaxing.
omg.. those papers with just 1 image is breaking my heart because in my school we are required to print a butt load of pictures for art references and printing in colour is so expensive for a full time college student hahaha
Yeah, I usually don't do that but I still wasn't feeling great so I was doing minimal work, and I have my own printer now.
I enjoy your videos very much. Thanks for sharing so much knowledge!
I find it funny what you said about fashion forecasting. So probably those fashion houses are really paying for access to the information that a fashion forecaster is going to pass onto a buch of fashion houses. Information is power, and increasingly so.
I love your videos I am going to create and recreate my collection in a more professional way from the last video of your watch me design).You are so cool to watch
This has to be one of the most dope videos I've watched in a long time! I would've never thought to take random photos and create something like this it's so cool! I'm going to use this method for my senior collection!!!
Super cool idea! Love your series and you videos! Good job! Have a lovely weekend!🙏😍
Hi I love ur videos. What size of sheet do u recommend for making design collection file/ folder?
I think that color forecasting can be done in a formula. Maybe I should test it.
Your videos are extremely helpful and inspiring! Keep it up gurl;)
Yeah, fashion forecasting people are looking at the same world we are looking at too.
I love your videos ! It’s boring to them because they don’t understand the passion for it.
you are always excellent!! never boring! Love your videos!
I noticed with us collagers we like moody looking photos, not smiling people, so much more interesting
You are so talented! Thanks for your generosity in teaching & sharing! I really like your videos!
I love this presentation; extemely interesting and informative; lots of great ideas to share too
I totally get that. I am always snapping pics of what I call "eye candy".
Love your videos 💕
I’m learning a lot
Keep it up 👍🏽
Loved it. some of your collage clothes turned out amazing
Hi! Your videos are so great! Approximately how long would you say it takes to create one entire project/collection for a portfolio? I'm putting together my design portfolio currently. I have a history of design experience but I went to school for global apparel industry management.. so my portfolio ended up less than artistic... I want to give myself a ballpark timeline. I have a tendency to overthink then get overwhelmed. Or skip steps because I'm rushing myself. Or freak out because I feel like I'm taking too long. So ADD. Also, I hugely, strongly, 1,000% agree with the girl below, you should definitely watch Legion. It is shot BEAUTIFULLY. So so good.
I don't know about one project, but I know in university, seniors are expected to have their entire portfolio completely by the end of their 15 week course. Now, this number is a bit nebulous, as different portfolio classes have different requirements and some encourage or allow students to include a reworking of an older project, which usually takes less time. And you have to assume most seniors are taking portfolio class along with other classes. Good luck!
New subscriber here! 👋🏾 The first video I watched was your Fabrics video where you teach us about the different kinds & characteristics & man-made vs natural & it sold me. I haven’t watched any other videos or TH-camrs since. I appreciate your videos so much. I graduated from AiPH almost 10 years ago & I’m trying to refresh my memory on basically everything I was taught (& even things I wasn’t) & your videos are exactly what I needed. Boring is far from what these videos are when you want to learn (or relearn/refresh) about making the steps of creating a collection. I’ve watched some of these videos (Watch Me Design) more than once because it’s so informative & also making sure I don’t miss anything. Thank you for sharing all of this knowledge. ❤️ from Philly!
Thanks so much for your kind message! Greetings to Philly!
I wish there was more content like this on TH-cam
I have a question though, Collaging can help with transfering visual ideas onto figures but, how do we transfer non visual idea (i.e constructuions, movements, feelings) directly onto figures ?
Construction belongs on flats. It's your job as a designer to visually translate feelings into tangible designs. Movement can really only be portrayed in drawing.
Thank you for these videos. The process is the process.
thank you for posting this series!!! b/c of it i feel like I have designed a cohesive collection. (i finished this morning!) now time to start making the samples :)
p.s. you were talking so much about rust...guess what snuck into my color story? lol
hahahahaha~ Awesome!
Hi Zoe. Can I ask a question?does all fabric needs to be washed/pre shrieked before production.? If yes. Then why are there so many clothes needs to be dry cleaned.especially like wool?
It all depends on the fabrics used. Every single fabric has different washing instructions. Most silks and wools need to be dry cleaned. Cottons, usually not, etc etc.
I would love to see this project be put into a portfolio for career. Would you use this? Could you use this? How would you do it? What elements of this project would you include in it? How much of it would you include? This is honestly so therapeutic to me and your laugh is pretty contagious.
That'll happen in later episodes.
Can you make a video how to play with print
You lost me at glitter glue. Now Imma buy that stuff and put it on everything. Glitter glue = liquid happiness.
the color gets pretty intense with a few coats. good stuff.
Hi Ms.Zoe
I have a question since I start to watch the whole of your series here from the beginning. I saw you took some inspiration images to do the collaging. is it possible to take some images that are not related to our inspiration or does it have to be related to our theme and inspiration.
Thanks for all what are you teaching us .
Don't go in too many different directions or you'll lose focus the the collection won't look cohesive.
Hi Zoe, one quick question, why at the end of the video you put the collage of the figure templates leaving a blank sheet?
So I can sketch and take notes off that inspiration on the facing page.
Love your work. You inspire me ❤️
Hey Zoe!! (Sorry I haven't been very active on your channel for a while; I was in India, and the internet was not ideal!)
Just wanted to let you know that even though this series is kind of slow, I am fucking LOVING IT!!!!!!! Please please please keep on making videos in this series!!!
Side Note/Random Thought: When you started collaging the rust and old door thingy, I really liked the sort of correlation of how you used things that were worn out and old (and thus, sometimes considered unusable,) and used that to make something fashionable for older people to wear (not that I'm calling old people "unusuable" or anything!!!), you know what I mean?
I'm currently a sophomore in college right now for fashion design I'm so happy I found your channel... it relaxes me in a way when I watch your videos (idk I can't explain how lol) but keep this up I love it! Btw.. happy I found someone who has a brain like mine 🤘🏾 I love creative pple
This, I needed this. Thank You for making this video. I am currently in FASH 111 class at the Academy of Arts and I get so caught up in the research that I am struggle to understand the concept behind making a collage and drawing out a mood. Like hearing you saying not to worry about drawing and illustrating at this stage but playing with colors, shape etc...Really brought me back to the first collage assignment I did in class. I am not sure how I lost myself as the semester goes by. But bing watching up to this Watch Me Design 5, was by far the best decision I could make for myself.
I am still learning how to translate words and research into a collection per say, but at least I know that part of the research process is to let go and just get messy.
Thank You Zoe
Hi! It's me catching up! Maybe It's not as amusing as other videos to watch, but I find this serie really informative and helpful and the thought of been paid for expend hours figuring out a color story, for instance, makes my mouth water, I'm watching you to do everything I want to do for a living, It's like "work porn" lol!
Why people are complaining about an excellent free (!!!) online course?! Your videos are so informative Zoe! Go girl !
could I include collages like this in my portfolio for university?
If your university says that's what they want in the applications.
Hey Zoe, big time fan. Just a small tip if you are pull images from instagram like I do. Use the application 4k Storage! It give you images in a better resolution than cropping them.
This is so great and inspiring. When I start a creative process it usually takes me sooooo long to start because the options overwhelm me, but you're reminding me that choosing and morphing them can be fun. And I really want to start making clothes for myself, and who knows, maybe later on make them for others? Anyway, this is helping me a lot, thank you so much! I love your wise, open perspective. And also, your target customer. I'm a guy and I sometimes wonder wtf I'll wear when I have my own family, and when I'm not considered a young man anymore, I won't be able to wear boring clothes just because of my age!
Thanks Zoe! Your videos and tutorials help me so much. I just started this series on your channel. I plan to watch all of them first then go back and follow along! Thanks again and you're the best!!!
It’s not boring for me, I’m really enjoy watching you doing things like this 💜💜
I'm so happy I ran across this page! I'm doing a career shift, I want to do surface designing . This series has given me so much information! And, this is fun for me but I'm an old bird, lol.
Please give more videos of the fashion design process! SO helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make them.
You are funny 😁 i like your laugh
Thank you soooooo so much for sharing your process and the inter working of your brain. I have gotten so much from this series. That being said I'm a little stuck on the research. I'm compiling images and going from one rabbit hole to the next. I'm moved by nothing I have so far. I'm traveling over the summer and hitting museums. I'm really stuck
Amazing video. I learned so much from it! Thank you so so much😘
Ok I just finished the tutorial. I think I'm actually unstuck. I know know I need to edit. Get rid of what I'm not in love with and take a closer look at what I have. I'm doing to much. Half way through you got me together. Everything is make more sense. I needed this.
this is by far the most informative video for me as i just graduated in fashion design ... my teachers will be ashamed watching this ... like what the hell were they teaching us haha
thank you Zoe
I'm loving this series, and your videos in general. I watched Stranger Things a couple months ago and I was also super inspired! Thanks for great videos Zoe!
These videos are not boring.
I love watching your design process. I find it very helpful. All the industry interviews are inspiring, but in a down to earth way. Thank you for all the information.
I lived in Japan for four years and find their local art traditions inspiring. My favorites are glass crafting, bingata and ink scroll painting. My favorite fabric designs are traditional striped kimono prints and red Okinawan bingata printed fabric (commonly used for Geisha kimonos).
Love your "Watch me Design" series! They are really helpful because I was always a little perplexed on color stories and really how to develop your design inparation and design process into a journal.
I really enjoyed this design series. a lot. I love the design process and you have opened my eyes quit a bit. It was a like. Thanks Nancy
Hi Zoe Im Phu . thank u for the this amazing video in yet another amazing series =) I wanna ask u if u used the 9 head figure or 10 head figure template in this video and if its an industry practice to use 10 head or 9 head most of the time for a collection for adults?
Also, im in the process of drawing inspiration for my moodboard, gathering main ideas from French colonisation, its architectures, its colonies cultural elements and such. And the question is would you recommend that i can combine all these French ideas with visuals i collect from , say... an art exhibition of an artist from Japan.... Do you think that might be a bit too greedy and confusing for my moodboard? and if I should just concentrate on French and its colonies heritage alone =)
I use 10 head but 9 head is fine. No, I would add in the Japan element. Combinations of influences is always more interesting.
thank u Zoe :) love u xo
I think that the line design is the strongest idea here. You could turn those lines into stitching,and stitch together materials that look/resemble the rust,minerals, and the colours would make sense in the way that the wearer could stitch their own piece and wouldn't look out of place. BTW I do that too,take pictures of textures where ever I go lol
Love this series Zoe
Maybe your subscribers can fund the collection?
I think you are awesome and this design a range series has come at the perfect time for me. Thankyou
Legit the best series ever. So informative and entertaining 👌🏻 thank u so much :)))
Yeah! I am not a fashion designer but this series makes me want to become one!
Me and my bff actually decided we would create a fashion line just for fun.
Also when you laugh I want to laugh too 😁
Obsessed with this series! Giving me the inspiration to get back at designing on my own as I've recently had to drop fashion school due to finances. Love designing along side you until I can get back to it!
I love this series! Overall your channel has been a massive help to my studies in fashion and understanding certain things. Please keep doing these videos. thanks for ALL the them!
this series is great! and its true. you ARE usefully informative even when you dont mean to be lol :)
I'm so mesmerized by your video... love them all. It calms me and concentrate me on my work
please please please Zoe finish this collection. It will build up my confidence
Thxxxx this amazing 😍😍😍
