Fashion Design: The Portfolio Project

  The Portfolio Project is the process of basic design line building of your portfolio collection. There are three steps of line building: concept building, editing, and finalization. The Portfolio Project walks you through each of these three steps in each of the four segments of the portfolio—mood, color, textiles, and silhouettes—with demonstration photographs and think-and-do work.

Approaches to the Design Process


  Many people have the mistaken impression that being creative and being systematic in solving a design problem are mutually exclusive. However, a conscious, systematic, and orderly approach does not have to be linear. And even a basically linear approach can allow for changes along the way to the solution of a design problem.

Fashion Design : The Uses of a Fashion Design Portfolio

  Fashion design portfolios have different end uses depending on the market for particular talents and skills. Different end uses lead to different expectations on the part of the person or people
reviewing a portfolio.

  Your student portfolio, where you assemble your work for different courses, will be different from your exit portfolio from college. As you enter each stage of advancement in your career, you will update your portfolio. It will become an ongoing process.

  Different end uses for portfolios include the following :

• Placement into college or graduate school.
• National or international design competitions.
• Exit interview from college.
• Interview with a job placement counselor.
• Interview with a head hunter.
• Assistant design internship (paying or nonpaying) while in college or after graduation.
• Entry-level position in the industry: assistant designer or assistant tech designer.
• Entry-level position in the industry as a first patternmaker or an assistant draper: sometimes a designer will interview for a position as a first pattern maker or assistant draper as an option to building a career in patternmaking or draping instead of design or as a foot in the door to become an assistant designer.
