How to Create a Fashion Portfolio that gets the job: Student vs Professional Fashion Designer

There are subtle but BIG differences between a student fashion portfolio and a professional one.

And these differences can make or break your chance at landing your dream fashion design job.

Which is why in this video, we’re going to go through how you - as a fashion design student - can create a fashion portfolio that looks more professional.

You’ll also learn how you can break into a new category…even if your student work (or past professional work) doesn’t have anything to do with that category.

ABOUT SEW HEIDI

Heya! Nice to meet you, I’m Heidi. I teach fashion designers like you the real world skills you *actually* need to learn to succeed in this cutthroat industry.

(You know, all the stuff you don’t learn at fashion school.)

I’ve worked as a contract designer for over a decade and run SuccessfulFashionDesigner.com. I’ve been able to make a healthy living doing work I love in fashion.

But I got started just like you, one step at a time. It began with some embarrassing hand sewn dresses and fashion sketches that would make a 3-year-old’s artwork look like a masterpiece.

Then, things changed. I learned how design was done on a large scale. I learned how to get things into production. And I learned all the skills I wish I knew when I was first starting out.

Now, I dedicate most of my time teaching you all of that. This content is hard to find anywhere else (because in fashion, people keep secrets), so I decided to create it...and give most of it away for free.
