Do fashion designers need to study fashion design at university? I'm looking for people interested in designing or buying fashion, or even designing for them. This is my design in digital form.

From my 2️⃣piece collection: a journey to Virgo ♍️

A lil back story: this is my first ever jacket ; very daunting project to make. I had made the prototype last year August🍁 and was wondering how to incorporate the spines 🩻.

On the last slide I was learning and drafting 3d 🖨️modelled spines ( tried learning that really difficult) but couldn’t find a ⚖️ for the clothes without making it too small to create. Then 2 months after rigorous research 🧑‍🔬🔬. I had an epiphany💡:

I had a 📕 on fabric manipulation and discovered 🪏⚱️:

Stitch 🧵and slash ✂️a technique

applied to the back to create the spine of Noxar .

Made one for me and my girlfriend👩‍❤️‍👨 and posted the different design iterations

In particular i’m interested in clothing design, I have 4 years of relevant experience within e-commerce for brands, website building, garment construction, pattern making, campaign management, supply chain analysis, wholesale, and a plethora more of other relevant skills for DTC operations.

I also attached a portfolio that includes garments that i’ve made, including the process of making the garment and how the campaign was constructed around the overall message and theme of the garment.

Should I change anything? I’m applying to associate technical design, e-commerce associate, brand management, associate creative director, and supply chain analysis roles for fashion based companies

note: my portfolio list all of my relevant experience that also includes photography, virtual production projects, targeted demographic content, and creative direction work.

let me know as today makes 1500 total applications sent since january 🙏🏾

I've been building Modexl, a platform that connects fashion brands with models, creators, and other talent.

I recently redesigned the landing page and I'm looking for honest feedback before I spend more time on marketing.

A few things I'm unsure about:

Is the value proposition clear within the first few seconds?

Does the design feel premium and trustworthy?

What would stop you from signing up?

Any UX/UI issues I might be missing?

it looks professional how can i make this

The collection explores the relationship between people and technology, and where the boundaries between the human and artificial start to blur. I focused a lot on material and surface experimentation, working with denim, metallic finishes, vinyl and hardware.

Soo...I know this ain't the best dresses as possible, very messy indeed (on purpose hhah) Im still learning and have no clue on where to propperly start to do my art, but I have a big big passion for doing this, even if they aint profesional, does anyone has like any site that could cuote for artists like me to learn about fashion such as theorical and practical? I know they wouldn't be the thing to help me improve as much as I could and for such are art schools/college,, but im willing to put my everything to do great things<3 im gonna be putting some pictures of the type of fabrics i'd like to use to make this dresses! Thanks for reading and im sorry if this post is unprofessional or so 😭✌️ god bless you and hope you have an amazing rest of dayy!

would like to know the design/style of the dress so I can find more dresses like it. I’ve been trying this I find forums to ask this question by many.

these are some images that speak to me and have been saved for referencing. I’m not necessarily trying to box myself into an aesthetic or a vibe, but i’d like to know what category they might fall into so i can do more research and improve. Anyone have a clue ?

ok so fast fashion sizing has never once fit me and I finally got fed up. I’m trans and I wanted to start a clothing brand making stuff on demand, and originally I just wanted a little preview thing so people could see how something would sit on their body before ordering. that snowballed way past what I planned.

(not sure this is the right sub for this, couldn’t really find a better one.)

for context I sew, I used to do clothing design and sim for VFX in MD, and I’m a programmer.

so instead of picking a size you just put in your tape measurements, and it builds a body out of them and drafts the pattern to that. I’ve been testing it against ~20k people’s measurements from ANSUR and every girth you enter lands on the mesh exactly. there’s an easy mode where you start with height and weight and a few basics and it guesses the rest, and then every measurement you add makes it more specific about where the mass sits and whether it’s fat or muscle. 42 measurements max, but you’d never need most of them. if the estimates keep matching what you enter, it means it’s close and you can stop.

(it’s still not great and I’ve just started, you can see in the screenshot. there’s a lot to be done.)

what I’m actually stuck on is whether any of this is worth doing. it takes a lot of time and a lot of trial and error to get right. does it already exist and I just haven’t found it? FreeSewing does parametric made-to-measure but every design has to be written as a program by someone who codes, and the commercial CAD stuff does it but it’s studio software, nothing you’d ever put in an ordering flow.

and if I’m making my own clothes anyway, is profiling customers actually worth it? measure once and everything they order from me fits, the patterns get adjusted without any manual input. is the measuring step enough to make people give up, and how badly do people measure themselves in practice?

or would it be more useful as something other designers use, where you link your own pattern and it comes out fitted per customer? idk. Patterns might be too personal to hand over to someone else’s system (but I can probably link it to any app that supports a good python api).

doing all this around a full time job so I’d honestly rather hear “this doesn’t work because X” now than in a few months. thanks ^^

Those are so ideas I would like to share 😊

Guess the number of eyelets i installed hehe
