In order to participate in the course, it is necessary that you can make fashion drawings and/or technical drawings, as we will be working with your existing sketches/portfolio. We will then learn how to target one’s portfolio to different segments of the fashion industry, and you will learn how to modify and create a portfolio for a specific job application or relevant education.
The focus will be on research and development, visual communication, presentation and layout. The course participants will learn to find unique sources of inspiration that will enhance creative and unique ideas in your portfolio.
