Careers in Fashion: An Industry Overview

what about creative director in fashion

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 ?

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!

Great teacher. Great content. Great

I am in 9th grade wathing this and IT realy hjelpes me open my eyes. I Think a lot off this Jobs are intrestig. Thank You so much😘

i love how you’re still active in the comments Zoe !! Ughhhh I loveeeee you

Thank you Zoe! I'm learning a lot in your videos! ^_^

God , this is so interesting but my English too bad...
I didn't understand nothing.

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?

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!

Just found your videos and absolutely love them. There is something I was wondering about. Is a CAD designer the same thing as a graphic designer?

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. :)

You forgot stores haha! And malls and the people who work at every fashion store, like sales associates, retailers, managers, etc

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

Thankyou so muchhhhhhh .... Its such a gift to me....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

i love this video❤️

You forgot laboratory technicians, engineers, quality controllers. Yeh there are plenty

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 💕💕

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

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

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

What would u major in, if you want to pursue fashion merchandising?

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?

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?

Shows vast range for fashion.

I thought it was gonna be about fashion stylers,designers,buyers,illustrator etc.

This is so helpful! At first I wanted to do cosmetology but my mom wants me to go to college so I’ve been looking for new ideas :)

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!

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 !!

what about costume designers, zoe? You´ve forgot them too.

Hi my experience is embellishment work 20 years. How can I work with you

U are amazing Zoe

I'm 17 n what should I do to strt my career as a fashion forecastor? Which course should i have to take first?

Thank you for these videos.

Honestly thank you for your video 😬👍 it's quite depressing when you wanna be someone, something and there's the taboo over it in you society and the helplessness you feel with lack of knowledge about what you want....huge thanks ❤️ i really feel so damn confident now

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.

i really love this video! THANK YOU!

Well what about illustrators, what do they do or what more is there involved in the illustration sector?😅

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

excelent video!!

What does communication designs do in the fashion industry?

Can you please make a detailed description about retail merchandiser and buyer

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 :,)

Thanks ❤

I hope you knew that was has to spend 15 minutes at A+ watch hint your vid hate from Spain

What an amazing way to explain the word “FASHION” into one video .. I’m impressed .

Why do people take a career that take lot away from family spouse time to spend on it most people work at grocery stores and fast food restaurants but struggle to make ends meat so me and most of are family work under one roof nower days because cost of living gone up so much there no one talk about how there relationships are on this path what good is money if you can't even enjoy life like normal person

Wow. Thank you.

What do fashion illustrators do?
