great pleats, as i imagine them to be, the collection is cohesive and not a bit S&M.
now for the big outlet buyers, right?

Zoe, I think you are immensely talented but I also know you like honest critiques so here I go:
I too like the collection without color blocking. It seems dated to me. Contributing factors might be the model’s glasses (frame shape) and the color combination.
The shorter red peacoat is georgeous (I like the line of the jacket front and the button/buttonhole placement, etc.)
When I look at the flats, everything looks exceptional which again, makes me think that the issue that I have with the collection has to do with the styling (colors, hair, and accessories).

Hope this helps at least a teeny bit??!!!

Well wouldn’t you know “boring” like it or not is what this fall is about!
I think we need our basics. Your coats and jackets are phenomenal! i love the black leather. and it’s not S&M. I like the pieces even better without the color layers.

I’m not an expert, just a woman who gets dressed everyday. My comment? NOT BORING!!! It looks great. Very wearable colors, shapes, and fabrics.

(I wonder what I would look like in glasses like that … )

Thanks for sharing.

Once more you prove you are a masochist and trump us all with your endless talent! Some of my faves are the halter tunic top with flowy body (very modern) and pea coat with cute button detail…please start on these asap I wear a size 4…okay I’m only HALF kidding……
But on a serious note, although I like the red/white/grey/blk colorblocking detail, I’m not sure if it needs to be on all the pieces. I love it on unexpected pieces like the long coat and the button up tailored shirt. The soft raw edge ruffles out of leather are ingenious, perhaps even softer and more wrinkly-looking rather than pleated. Still, even though this is the LEAST evening you’ve gone thus far, I would be interested in seeing how you would enterpret something as average-joe as say….white t-shirt and unwashed blue jeans…..hm…..a challenge grasshoppa??

Simon, give Zoe a break, she’s hard enough on herself! Look at all the work she put into this piece and all of her portfolio. There’s always a lot going on behind the blog that she can’t share – believe me Zoe is not the slacking off type.

Finding a job takes time. The interview process for a single company can stretch into weeks. Zoe is not the only talented designer competing for design work in SF. Sharing details of a job hunt on the internet is not a wise idea. Zoe’s smart – she’ll announce her next direction when the time is right.

You are very talented. You must not be looking too hard for work, as talent like this is quite marketable. Word is not out Zoe is looking for work.Here at the blog yes, but in the field you need to spread the word.

Hey, I like your idea of previewing your work, sort of like an online resume teaser.
