Zoe Hong is a fashion designer, illustrator, teacher, and author.

Hey hey party people!

I'm taking a sabbatical for the whole of 2026. I have no idea when I'll be back, or if I'll ever come back to making content online. I'm going to spend 2026 taking care of my health, both physical and mental. I'll be going to a lot of doctors' appointments, taking a lot of naps, do a little traveling. I haven't taken a vacation without my laptop in the ten years I've been on YouTube.

I'll also be contemplating what the next phase of my career is going to look like. I may decide I never want to come back to making content. (F the algorithm and F the trolls.) Maybe I'll go back to teaching at a fashion school. Maybe I'll start a brand. Maybe I'll write another book. Maybe I'll retire early.

I will be on Patreon. I adore my community over there and I hope you will join us! I will continue to host Fashion Movie Club and Fashion Book Club, maybe start a sewing club, do some livestreams. I have some free stuff over there too.

I may occasionally post on socials as a regular person but not for work purposes. I will not be replying to DMs. I have closed my consulting calendar. I will not take video requests, not even for the far future.

You can still buy my books, my sketchbook, my mugs. My store is still open, as well as my Etsy shop. I will answer customer service emails for those things. The channels will remain, so you can watch all my old videos. You can find links to everything below.

Thank you for all the support you’ve shown me over the years! I wish you all health, peace, and the best of luck on your fashion journeys! Have an amazing 2026!
