FASHION PORTFOLIOS: what do I need?
Hello Gorgeous Visionaries!
A crop of new videos up on my YouTube channel suporting fashion portfolios.
Informational and inspirational,
a fashion portfolio MUST BE INSPIRED, above all! You want to show
what you know,
how you think,
how you see things through,
how you solve problems,
how you present things,
what your taste is like,
how you make design decisions,
and how you can evoke FEELING,
how you recognize quality.
You want to show what you have to offer, so that you can be seen and known.
I thought this week’s topics (fabric, paintbrush, message) might be really helpful for you if you are considering applying to fashion design schools –for your design portfolio.
I hope you enjoy them, share them, and share your results with me! Info@fashionillustrationtribe.com
The videos below will help you connect with quality materials to create your fashion portfolio illustrations and croquis books.
My courses and coaching are ALL ABOUT THAT. The tactile joy, art , and technique of creating models, figures, designs and collections for a fashion portfolio with quality materials, loads of encouragement and technical confidence.
Bring on your diverse style , approaches, and beauty and let’s create a sustainable, bright world of fashion and design possibility .
#1 FABRIC swatches:
YOU CAN”T DESIGN WITHOUT FABRIC it’s your raw material!
Here are two more great articles; about my most necessary gouache colors, and another about art supplies in general for fashion illustration. Also check out my RESOURCES FOR FASHION STUDENTS page.
#2 ART SUPPLIES:
paintbrush and gouache set
This is the one and only brush you REALLY need. Everything else is just extra.

I am a strong proponent of picking up a gorgeous book and flipping through it to get the message, image, or info I need in the moment to inspire me or nudge me forward.
