How valuable is running a pop-culture fashion and trend breakdown platform when applying for costume or fashion design roles?

I am currently aiming to build a career in fashion design and costume styling. Alongside my studies, I actively run an online fashion platform called Washington Outfits, where I break down iconic outfit designs, pop-culture fashion trends, and celebrity costume choices from TV and film. Working on this project has helped me develop skills in trend forecasting, visual analysis, and garment breakdowns. I’d love to hear from industry professionals: How do hiring managers in fashion or costume design view candidates who actively document and analyze fashion trends through their own platform? What is the best way to structure this real-world experience in a portfolio or resume alongside formal design coursework?
