Vini - Islington£42

£42Fashion design, a tailored course, from beginning your journey to entering industry.

Trusted teacher: This is a dynamic class which can encompass many areas of the fashion design process, this can included practical skills such as learning Adobe suite, pattern cutting, portfolio making and other skills to wider advice for university or career. I received my BA from Central Saint Martins and went on to work at Tom Ford, Phoebe Philo and Maison Givenchy as well as time working freelance over this period I was lucky enough to learn some valuable traits or skills which really help getting that first start at a fashion job or that could prove incredibly helpful during your fashion education. I feel as good as fashion education can be sometimes they have blindspots and don't always completely prepare their students for the realties of industry and I have helped many students to receive interviews and opportunities at companies which they never believed possible for themselves as well a helped to demystify what a career in fashion actually is and how to best prepare for it.

Elisa - London£13

£13Fashion Consultancy - Learn how to feel confident in what you wear

Trusted teacher: I am here to help you select or (even) discover new fashion statement pieces. Are you tired of your wardrobe, or do you just want to spice it up? Your old shirt has been sitting in your drawers for ages, and you just don't know how to use it? Your friend's dinner party is coming up, and you just don't know what to wear? This is where I jump in. I'm originally from Italy, but since moving to London I started to experiment with my looks. Soon I found an ally in fashion and started using what I was wearing to express myself and who I truly was. When I wear what I feel good in - I feel confident and ready to 'take on the world'. I want to help women like me to feel the same and truly embrace who they are. I'm an Event Coordinator for a Women's Refugee charity in the morning, but I experiment with clothes during the weekend or whenever I travel (which is where I draw most of my inspiration from). My dream is to open my own rental's club online site so that I can share the dresses and unique pieces I collected along my travels with the broader community. I'd be so humbled to help you, feel free to reach out and ask me any questions.

Christopher - High Wycombe, United Kingdom£86

£86Dreaming of becoming a fashion designer or build a successful portfolio? It’s easier than you think!

My teaching philosophy centres around helping students discover their instinctive creative voices through experimental drawing techniques. I believe in the power of intuitive creation, where students are encouraged to move beyond traditional methods, tap into their creativity, and embrace innovative approaches to drawing. This process empowers them to build a strong personal style while gaining the technical skills necessary to express their ideas confidently. As a lecturer at Central Saint Martin's i use my years of teaching experience to help every student unlock their potential, guiding them in finding their unique artistic identity and confidently navigating their creative journeys. Whether you're looking to build a portfolio, develop new drawing skills, or simply explore new creative approaches, I offer a personalised, hands-on approach that meets each student where they are, helping them grow and evolve as an artist. Fashion design isn't just about learning techniques; it's about discovering and expressing your instinctive creative voice. In my lessons, we’ll focus on intuition-driven design—moving beyond traditional, formulaic methods and embracing a more personal, organic approach to creating fashion. Designing with intuition: You’ll learn how to trust your instincts in the design process, whether you’re sketching new ideas or creating full garments. Exploring fabric and silhouette: Through hands-on exercises, you’ll learn how to experiment with different materials, shapes, and textures to create unique and bold designs. Breaking traditional boundaries: My approach challenges you to explore unconventional forms, colours, and patterns, encouraging designs that reflect your own artistic vision.

Brigitte

I absolutely adore my time spent with Brigitte. Not only is she an incredibly skilled sewing instructor, but she also goes above and beyond in imparting her wealth of knowledge about the fashion industry, fabrics, and materials. This aspect has been invaluable to me, considering my lack of formal education in fashion. Brigitte's expertise shines through as she generously shares extra insights from textbooks, which have proven particularly beneficial in my endeavors, such as creating corsets and stays. Moreover, her guidance extends beyond mere craftsmanship; she educates on the importance of accurately pricing garments to ensure profitability—a testament to her comprehensive approach. Thanks to her mentorship, I've experienced significant growth and am eagerly looking forward to advancing further under her tutelage.

I’m so grateful to Anna! She has such a high level of expertise, and her advices were very helpful for me (I had three consultations about my portfolio). I love her way of teaching — so structured, you can apply everything she is telling you right away. Also, I was charmed by her ability to go deeply into my meaning, understand my ideas, and share her views on how to enhance them. And as a person, Anna is so attentive, considerate, and kind. I will definitely turn to Anna again when I need help. Thank you so much, Anna. I’m so happy I found you, wish you all the best! :)
