Hi!
My name's Eric and I'm planning to apply for Fashion Design at Westminster for the year 21/22.

I'm focusing a lot on my portfolio at the moment and I'm wondering about the way I'll be able to present it.
Will I be invited to show it in person? Or will I have to send a digital copy of it?

If there's someone here who is studying fashion design at Westminster and would be nice enough to answer some more questions about my portfolio, please let me know - I am quite clueless :biggrin:

Hi there,

First and foremost, should make your application, submit it and then the admissions team will assess it. If your application is satisfactory, the admissions team will email requesting a portfolio to support your application. This email will include the details required such as the deadline for the portfolio, what to include in it and how to send it. This is where you will know how to present it. but I can confirm, it will be done digitally and not in person.

Typically for the Fashion Design course, you will be required to send a mini sample portfolio of your work. We need to be able to get an idea of you as a practitioner and your current breadth and depth of fashion-related knowledge. We are also keen that you use this process to help us to understand you as an individual and what you might bring to the Fashion Design course. We are looking for creative individuals who can show evidence of personal expression, creative ideas, related skills and a depth of subject knowledge.
Please note, this is a very competitive course that fills up quickly. Therefore an early application is advised to be on the safe side.

Good luck :smile:
