lt, as that is the main part of the role in most fashion jobs. So with design portfolios, make sure to show research, development, experimentation, fittings, and more. This can be as part of a project (all my students need to show these elements when they hand in a design project) or it can be in a sketchbook. 8. 展現(xiàn)過程?! 〈蟛糠秩讼肟吹侥闳绾潍@得最終的設(shè)計(jì)成果,因?yàn)檫@是大部分時(shí)尚工作的主要內(nèi)容。所以在時(shí)尚作品集中一定要展現(xiàn)研究、發(fā)展、實(shí)驗(yàn)、試裝等等而不僅僅是設(shè)計(jì)成品。這可以是設(shè)計(jì)項(xiàng)目的一部分(我所有的學(xué)生在遞交設(shè)計(jì)項(xiàng)目的時(shí)候都需要包含設(shè)計(jì)過程)或者是有速寫本來體現(xiàn)?! ?. Research and development! See above. But I wanted to have a separate point for this because research is one of the most important elements in a fashion design portfolio and is usually what separates a St. Martins student from a student from crappy fashion school in the middle of nowhere. Our projects and portfolios were probably 5090% research and development, with a resolution or conclusion at the end. We did research for months before we started designing, and that’s often what happens in industry. I don’t let my students even pick up a pencil until they’ve collected a crap load of research. So if you are wondering what makes St. Martins and all those other English schools so good, it is usually the importance they place on research skills. 9. 研究與發(fā)展。 我想單獨(dú)說一下是因?yàn)檠芯渴菚r(shí)尚設(shè)計(jì)項(xiàng)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(jì)學(xué)院的學(xué)生和其他糟糕的時(shí)尚學(xué)校的學(xué)生的標(biāo)志之一。我們的設(shè)計(jì)項(xiàng)目和作品集的5090%是研究相關(guān),然后獲得一個(gè)解決方案或者結(jié)論。我們?cè)僭O(shè)計(jì)之前花費(fèi)數(shù)月的時(shí)間進(jìn)行研究,而這也是時(shí)尚行業(yè)的常態(tài)。在他們做大量的研究之前我甚至不會(huì)讓我的學(xué)生動(dòng)筆。為什么中央圣馬丁藝術(shù)與設(shè)計(jì)學(xué)院和其他著名的設(shè)計(jì)學(xué)院那么的好?原因就在于他們非常重視研究技能?! ?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(shí)尚?! ∪绻阋采瞄L(zhǎng)其他方面也可以在作品集里體現(xiàn)。學(xué)校和公司不僅會(huì)因?yàn)槟愕淖髌蜂浫』蛘吖蛡蚰?,也?huì)對(duì)你個(gè)人進(jìn)行投資。因此你其他方面的長(zhǎng)項(xiàng)也可以是個(gè)補(bǔ)充?! S,最后一個(gè)重要的建議:如果申請(qǐng)學(xué)校,去看看最近的畢業(yè)生的作品。這會(huì)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。大部分學(xué)校會(huì)展示學(xué)生作品。英國(guó)藝術(shù)留學(xué)事實(shí)上你也可以通過Showtime來欣賞畢業(yè)生的作品(中央圣馬丁藝術(shù)與設(shè)計(jì)學(xué)院和倫敦時(shí)裝學(xué)院),這是一個(gè)幫助你了解頂尖的倫敦時(shí)尚院校畢業(yè)生們的動(dòng)向的網(wǎng)站。
