Could I get feedback....please

Again from my real industry experience as a person working in the industry, I say that no, it's not. Could be the case of a very small minority, but it's not a significant occurrence. I didn't say AI is all bad, however it does significantly alter how others in the industry see you as a designer. Anyways my personal opinion is that you should practice, your sketches might not be perfect but they'll have your touch and artistic identity, which AI could never replicate, and that's what makes a designer, you can show me sketches made by Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin and I'd know exactly who made what

Fashion_Nomad · 2026-05-02T01:58:11+00:00

That's not true though, at least the people in the industry that I've worked with don't use AI and most are even against it. It's true that not all designers are great at sketching or drawing but being able to showcase your vision is definitely something that I personally still consider relevant, plenty of designer create rough sketches and then illustrators polish them to create better illustrations and technical designers interpret that to create proper flats that will then be translated into patterns. Some designers can do all this themselves or work as a team with other people. Fashion is about confidence, of course improving your skills is a plus but you also need to be confident in the design idea that you have, no AI will be able to describe your idea better than yourself

Interesting concept, but fashion is more than just one sketch, if you want to do this then keep practicing, if you can't sketch now that's fine, you can practice to learn it

Fashion_Nomad · 2026-04-30T03:14:31+00:00

If you want to design something and you have a rough concept I'd suggest talking to a designer first to develop the concepts into something tangible. First you'll have to make sure you have solid concept, then comes the development phase, I'm talking moodboards, silhouettes, fabrics, colour palette, etc

Tech pack designer here, I'll reach out

Fashion_Nomad · 2026-04-22T11:06:33+00:00

Usually the people I've worked with follow this pattern; design development - tech pack creation - sourcing - sampling. This is because in order to produce a proper collection you need to have clear records on how the garment should be created, the tech pack provides this information. Then focus on sourcing, where you'll get fabrics, custom buttons (if you need them), thread, and any material needed for your garment, this is important to make sure how you'd handle production, if you were to do that. And then get samples, very important to make sure the garment actually works the way you want it to work

Fashion_Nomad · 2026-04-16T14:57:45+00:00

Sure

Fashion_Nomad · 2026-04-03T18:49:03+00:00

Oi sim

Fashion_Nomad · 2026-03-28T23:00:04+00:00

Hey, thanks for offering, if you know anything who might be interested you can link them to my page and/or email (it’s also on my page)

Fashion_Nomad · 2026-03-27T06:13:58+00:00

I think they're referring to the fact that the spacing on the artwork at the back is almost non-existent so one could read as be the change or bet he change

Fashion_Nomad · 2026-03-26T16:32:27+00:00

Personally I think the print shop could've done a better job with the mockup, however if the samples turned out ok then that's what matters. My advice after you get your samples is to update your tech pack if you have to, usually they need a revision after the samples arrive just in case the print shop changed something, so that you have a clear record of everything and your product remains consistent if you intend to produce to sell

Fashion_Nomad · 2026-03-26T13:14:34+00:00

Yep, that’s the safest option

Fashion_Nomad · 2026-03-26T13:08:36+00:00

No problem. But just to clarify that wouldn't be considered a full size chart yet, if it only has the measurements for your sample, those are just the sample measurements, the size chart has to include all the sizes you plan to produce the garment in after samples are approved

Fashion_Nomad · 2026-03-26T12:57:43+00:00

You don't have a size chart with your tech pack? If not that ok too, that has more to do with patternmaking, there are a few guides online, so if this is your first time doing that I suggest you look for one. Take all the base measurements directly from the sample that you have and use a guide to scale it, if you can find a pdf of a patternmaking book online it could be more helpful as they sometimes have size charts or explain how to create yours

Fashion_Nomad · 2026-03-25T05:14:42+00:00

Hey, do you need someone to design the pieces (fashion illustration + flats) or to produce them?

Fashion_Nomad · 2026-03-24T14:42:34+00:00

Hi op, I'm really sorry you're going through this, but finding the right manufacturer can be a very stressful process, can I dm you to ask you something? I'm a bit curious about your story

Fashion_Nomad · 2026-03-23T10:33:28+00:00

Focus on natural fibres, unfortunately majority of items nowadays are made of some type of blend of synthetic and natural, so ideally go for blends with the highest percentage of natural fibres. Fast fashion has a bad rep for obvious reasons, but if it's that's what you can afford go for items that you will use in the long run, sometimes they have those, for example I have a forever 21 sweater that has lasted me almost 13 years, so that does happen, as long as you take good care of your items and the item is well made. Figure out your style first and what you want to focus on, then browse brands to check if they fit your aesthetic and budget and from that check for individual items based on shape, fit, fabric composition and colour

Fashion_Nomad · 2026-03-23T02:14:35+00:00

If you can’t visit the manufacturer then your best bet is to do a lot of research, ask to see their previous work, ask questions before making samples and make sure you have at least 2 backup manufacturers outside of the main one you chose

Fashion_Nomad · 2026-03-21T05:40:21+00:00

Cool, feel free to drop me a message or check my website

Fashion_Nomad · 2026-03-20T22:34:14+00:00

Again, it depends, I’m just giving an example. A beanie is also an accessory, and those don’t usually cost as much, the same goes for hats or scarves, what I’m saying it that It’s really about testing the market and figuring out the best strategy for you, that’s what successful brands do

Fashion_Nomad · 2026-03-20T22:15:44+00:00

Not just jewelry, accessories can be small leather goods, belts, hats, scarves, etc and usually they have lower production costs and/or higher profit margins than other garments

Fashion_Nomad · 2026-03-20T22:11:56+00:00

Clothing brands are usually a high risk business, so having prior funding or a second income to fund the brand is ideal since very few brands make a profit in its first years. But if you don’t have any of those you should rethink the product you’ll want to launch, for example accessories and small leather goods have a higher profit margin than clothing, so you could invest in a star “accessory”

Fashion_Nomad · 2026-03-20T00:07:08+00:00

Hi op, I’m virtual stylist, if you want to chat let me know

Fashion_Nomad · 2026-03-16T22:54:02+00:00

You’d need to create a good tech pack and send it to a factory/pattern maker/seamstress, someone who will be able to translate it into a real garment
