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