【正文】 　我想單獨說一下是因為研究是時尚設(shè)計項目中最重要的因素之一，也是區(qū)分中央圣馬丁藝術(shù)與設(shè)計學(xué)院的學(xué)生和其他糟糕的時尚學(xué)校的學(xué)生的標(biāo)志之一。因此你其他方面的長項也可以是個補充。這會讓你知道學(xué)校的課程方向，也證明如果給你幫助你也有能力可以做到。我們再設(shè)計之前花費數(shù)月的時間進(jìn)行研究，而這也是時尚行業(yè)的常態(tài)。這非常需要你平面設(shè)計朋友的幫助。不過參見上面說的，要遞交符合要求的作品。這就是為什么你要讓你的作品集簡短而吸引人。這也是我組織時尚設(shè)計畢業(yè)攝影的原因，很多當(dāng)?shù)貙W(xué)校都讓學(xué)生自己做，而由于沒有專業(yè)的團(tuán)隊學(xué)生的攝影非常差。其他人只能再插圖的情況下試圖把作品集做的漂亮。我讓我的學(xué)生給電子版作品集制作一個最大4MB的迷你視頻作為前菜?？赡墁F(xiàn)在你的集子滿是粉色的蝴蝶結(jié)和花邊，但是你一定不希望你的作品集子變成蝴蝶結(jié)或者花邊，因為你可能五年以后變成了一個男裝設(shè)計師。這非常重要。如果你有非常棒的材料但是不符合學(xué)校的要求，那么分開攜帶，并且告訴面試官你還想給他們展示其他東西?！　∵@篇文章是源于她的一封答讀者來信。 這些建議不僅適用于申請時尚設(shè)計課程也適用于畢業(yè)生應(yīng)聘時尚相關(guān)工作。很多學(xué)生我面試時尚管理和時尚營銷的時候跟我們說他們想成為一個設(shè)計師?！　∫粋€好的作品集子是時尚界人士必不可少的工具。她甚至沒有打開作品集。　　4. Know your strengths. This is a life lesson for everyone, and applies to all careers, applications, and aspects of life. If you aren’t good at something, try and avoid including it in your portfolio. For example, if you suck at illustrating, don’t put any in your portfolio (this is very possible. On the MA at St. Martins, the course director thought everyone’s illustrations were “shit” – her words – and only one of us was allowed to include proper fashion illustrations in our portfolio. The rest of us managed to make beautiful portfolios without them, proof that it is possible.) If it is presentation skills, have a graphic designer friend help you with layouts. If you can’t spell, make sure your written work is proofread. No one is perfect, so don’t try to be and don’t try and do everything yourself. Remember, you are only as good as your worst illustration/design/layout/essay, so make sure there are no weak links.　　4. 清楚你的長項。沒有人事完美的，所以不用試圖自己做所有的事情。如果找不到四號身材(歐美標(biāo)準(zhǔn)身材，對應(yīng)的尺寸：胸圍8386 腰圍：6871 臀圍：89 91)的模特，找大一點的。不要放任何不起眼的作品?！　∪绻麑W(xué)生每交每一份糟糕的作品，我就得到一美元的話，我現(xiàn)在就已經(jīng)很富有了。所以在時尚作品集中一定要展現(xiàn)研究、發(fā)展、實驗、試裝等等而不僅僅是設(shè)計成品?！　?0. Don’t limit your content to fashion. If you are great in other things, then make sure they get a mention. Schools and panies aren’t accepting/hiring you based on your work, they are also making an investment in you as a person. And so if you are good at other things, then that will always be a plus.　　. One last very important tip: if you are applying to schools, check out the graduate portfolios from the recent grads. That will give you an idea of where the course is supposed to take you, and demonstrating that you have the ability to get there will only help you. Most schools do public portfolio shows, or put work online. In fact, all of these images came from Showtime, which has the graduate portfolios of the University of the Arts grads (includes St. Martins and London College of Fashion), a great resource to see what some of the top London fashion school grads are doing. I’ve shown work from students at London College of Fashion.　　10. 作品集不局限于時尚。
