Fashion school homework: You received a theme, a deadline, and you sit in front of a blank page.
Fashion school homework can feel overwhelming.

What are they really looking for? What makes an application stand out? Is my idea strong enough and does it meet the critera?

We’ve supported hundreds of applicants with fashion school applications and portfolio development. We know the common mistakes, the expectations of different schools, and how to help you develop stronger concepts.

Whether you’re applying to fashion design, textile design, costume design, or others we can help you turn your ideas into a clear and convincing submission. We usually work in three steps on the homework:
– Brainstorming & Concept development
– Feedback during the process
– Final review before submission

Need support with your fashion school homework assignment? We’d love to help. Send us a DM or book a free consultation.

Valentino once said: „Only wear clothes that make you feel alive.“

Fashion is so much more than fabric, trends, or labels. The right garment can change how you move, how you carry yourself, and how you feel.
When you feel truly connected to what you’re wearing, confidence follows naturally.

So here’s a question:
Which piece in your wardrobe makes you feel most alive? What is your favorite piece?

Working on a fashion portfolio on your own, at home, can feel overwhelming. You might feel lost, unsure, or question your ideas.

If this sounds familiar — you’re not alone.

At ABOUT:FASHION, we guide you step by step through the entire portfolio development process.
You don’t just “work on something” — you develop a clear concept, a strong visual language, and a portfolio with direction and purpose.

We give you creative tasks, inspire you with carefully selected visual references, and support you continuously — also between sessions via WhatsApp.
Our coaching is highly specialized for applications in fashion design.

This is what sets us apart from general “Mappenkurse,” where all disciplines are mixed together.

With a success rate of 99%, almost all of our students get accepted into renowned fashion schools in Germany and internationally.

We are proud of this — because behind every acceptance is a personal journey, a strong portfolio, and a dream becoming reality.

„The best designers are the ones who dare to break the rules and create their own path.” — Martin Margiela

I had the privilege of experiencing this mindset firsthand while working as a fashion designer on MM6.

What I learned during that time still shapes the way I see fashion today: it’s not about following trends — it’s about questioning them.
Margiela didn’t just design clothes. He redefined what fashion can be. Concept over convention. Process over perfection. Identity over visibility.

And this is exactly what we teach our students:
Don’t try to fit in. Build something that stands out — with intention, clarity, and a strong visual language.
Because in the end, the strongest portfolios are not the safest ones. They are the ones that dare.
