What should my portfolio include?
Your portfolio should include a maximum of 20 single-sided A4 pages of colour images that demonstrate your potential as a fashion designer. This could include but is not limited to:
- Good examples of your sketchbook work (to demonstrate your ability to research a topic and develop ideas based on that topic)

We are looking for something individual; a folio that expresses you, your talents and potential within the fashion industry. We would like to know what you think about fashion and what you like about fashion - or even what you don’t like about fashion. Think of the folio as a way of introducing yourself to us - and showing us your creativity and thought processes. Show us what inspires you and excites you.
