How to create a fashion portfolio | TUTORIAL Parsons fashion design major | Justine Leconte
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лип 2024
- I graduated from Parsons The New School for Design, in New York. This video tutorial answers the following questions:
- Which format should my fashion design portfolio have
- What should I include in my portfolio
- How to show my skills in my portfolio
- How to prepare my portfolio
- Examples & ideas of fashion designer portfolio
- Portfolio for fashion design students
I tackle those aspects:
- Objectives of the portfolio - your design major, one theme, show off your skills, your own aesthetics
- Format - size, type of binding…
- What to include - moodboard, process pictures, fashion sketches, technical flats, fabric swatches
- Tips and things to pay attention to when planning your portfolio

Portfolio Rules according to Justine Leconte
1.) Portfolio shows specialization
Womenswear etc
-show only that
2.) personal skills/ what good at:
Drawing
Draping
Pattern making
Sewing
Water colors
Illustrator
Textile development
3.) Cohesive whole- 1 big theme
Examples:
-Historical
-Plants and nature
-Made by hand completely with hand woven fabric
4.) should look like you (also unique/ imaginative)
Your best work possible
5.) Format
Match big cohesive theme and skills you want to highlight
Think about format beyond the standard portfolio binder
-Can use this binder to hold work while work is in progress
Options:
-Lookbook with a binding (binding can be made by you to show your handcraft)
-Accordion
-Loose pages- plan how to group series/ hold together
-poster style you unfold
Execution:
Style:
-Print pages
-Collage
-Physical artifacts : sand, flowers, fabric photos, wood, etc…
Overall sizing??
Each series should have:
1.) A good mood board (see Justine Leconte’s other video on this for details)
2.) Show your Creative Process (how does your brain work?)
For example:
-show pics from draping process
-Visual research/ pages from notebook
-Textile experiments- pieces from, stuff to touch
3.) Drawings of final looks (see Justine Leconte’s other video”Fashion Drawing Tutorials”)
Choose method and skill you are best at:
Show you can draw and express the design ideas visually
-by hand
-by machine
-painted
4.) Technical Flats
-can be drawn with an ink pen by hand (instead of Adobe illustrator)
Show you have mastered the techniques of garment development:
-seam edges placement
-garment finishing
-know what final garment will look like
-how it will be constructed
5.) Cover: has your name and one visual that represents the entire portfolio (similar to a music album)
6.) End Page: answers the cover, closes and rounds up the whole story/ theme
Extra tips:
1.) Should be able to add pages and change series (may want to replace in future
-format should support switching and adding things after you create it
2.) 5-6 series
3.) First series should be the strongest
4.) Second series should be the last (all other series in between)
5.) Should be understood by person looking at it even if you are no there
6.) Typeface, background, paper quality, every element should contribute and play into overall theme to make message understandable
7.) Have good quality, same size swatches (no fraying)
8.) Check out jleconteberlin on Pinterest boards for portfolio inspiration

I'm very lucky to find this video, it gave me a clear simple explanation of what a fashion portfolio should contain, I've spent 3 years in uni and no one has ever taught me the importance of a portfolio and how I should collect all my good work in one file to use it later especially when applying for a job.
I'm definitely going to follow your rules and tips and then hopefully get the chance to show you what you have taught me, I really need to show off my work as a graduate whos applying for a first job, thank you so much for this amazing helpful video
what uni?
I'm planning to go to that school and this video is very helpful!

Hi Justine, I'm a fairly new subscriber to your channel and have been really loving your videos. This video is so helpful. I'm from Australia and my daughter Chloe is in her final year at high school and wants to get into university next year to study Bachelor of Fashion Design. Getting into the course is highly dependent on providing a very good portfolio so she has been working very hard on hers (she has also been getting extra tuition outside of school on portfolio preparation). I have shared this video and your channel with her as I think your videos on fashion design will really benefit her. Thank you so much for sharing. Cheers, Toula :)
Very useful.... thanks 😀

Thanks a lot Justine your videos are really helpful and very inspiring :)
+Saraelmawazini thanks!
Hey Justine, Is this portfolio format for when you graduate or when you are going to apply to a Fashion Design school? From what I understood is meant to be created to showcase all skills you acquired for graduation.. Could you give advice/ recommendations and/or share a video of the portfolio you used to apply to your school? Also if you could share recommendations on how to stand out in the admission process will be really helpful too! Perhapds is also possible to share with us your experience on how you evolved as a fashion designer from how it was when you applied..and now? Thank you and keep going! Love your channel :)!
THANK YOU

I'm a graduating master's fashion student from Hamburg and I'm trying to build up my portfolio to apply for jobs next year. What exactly do you mean by the last conclusion page?

Another great video with great tips. I actually studied childrens book illustration and graphic design at Parsons and met my late husband at New School in 1973 when it was called the New School for Social Research. We met in a sociology/psychology course called "Changing Sexual Roles in Contemporary America" and then we went on to have three daughters and my oldest studied and got a degree in fashion design here in New England. Parsons is a great school..thanks for sharing again....merci!
Brenda Drew such a sweet story ❤

To get into parsons first year, undergraduate, would you have any recommandations ?
Justine- what do you do with your personal portfolios? Do you sell your sketches? I've been making some sketches and hope to sell those to existing dress shops. Your thoughts?
I'm going to Varsity next year so I want to start creating my fashion portfolio that I would present for admission..
Thanku so much for this but can you plss tell me where did you buy this folder i find everywhere but didn't get this can you plss share the link.
Dear Justine, can you please do a video about Parsons?
Us fashion design lovers would love it :)
+Sera what are you interested in hearing/learning? Any specific questions?
Justine Leconte officiel the professors, final year and i really wonder if the students are always competing with eachother..
Sera yes I strongly agree with you
Hello! I have, also one question. Do you think it's better to have one big portfolio for all my best 4/5 fashion collections or to have 4/5 smaller books-A4 size, for each one, and pack them all to one thick case?
Hi. I need to know if the materials we show in portfolio is need to be in a same texture set. Like satin, kitty kat, krape, almond satin etc. Or can I use different fabrics textures. Like embroidered net, lace, satin, printer chiffon etc.
hello! i am wondering if you have to add photos of the final work .
YOu'd be a really Great TEACHER!!!
do you have any good pattern making & draping books you could recommend?
You ara awesome
can u pls do a video on how to apply for scholarships
n how to apply if u are an international student
Hai Justine,
I saw your video, it was nice. Right now I am doing my portfolio in college, but nearly they ask us 10 kinds of board like theme board, colour board, swatch board, story board, presentation board, illustration board etc..,
Can u please explain the things u missed out in this video?
Hy
Can we use a spiral big hard sketch book as a portfolio and put on our work as print papers and stick on it was that will be a good presentation for the person who we are going to show our portfolio? Plz reply i am having a hard time for making my final fashion portfolio
hello justine, this video is really good.
I am applying for a fashion college in london for undergrad study and I need to submit a portfolio. can you please suggest me about the portfolio. on what to include and what not to.
Thank you, this video was really helpful!
+Carol Patricio cool, I am glad!!

I'm an art student, is it true that you have to have a art project (like a theme) from your college to create the portfolio.
Thank you for your support too. # Denise this your future and we need you for it too. Olèèèèèèèèèèèèèèèèè
Hi i hope you still answer even tho the video is quite old, but can you do your portfolio in a digital format? Like in word??❤️❤️❤️
