AIM
The aim of the three-week course is to develop a professional fashion portfolio. With this fashion portfolio you can apply to all fashion schools in Germany and abroad. Each participant works at a different pace, so the number of finished pieces at the end of the course may vary.


WHY WITH ABOUT:FASHION?
Due to our teaching activities at various fashion schools throughout Germany, we have internal insights into their admission and examination procedures. From this knowledge we have developed a successful concept, which we pass on to you in our portfolio course. Since we are not bound to any fashion school, we advise you independently which fashion school is best suited for you.

The portfolio course is led by successful fashion designers with national and international experience. One-on-one meetings are held to guarantee the best possible results. Presentations of work will be done in a group setting.


ON-SITE
The course takes place at ABOUT:FASHION.


LANGUAGE
The course is held in German and, if required, also in English.

 I got a real sense of what working in the fashion industry looks like

I took part in both the fashion portfolio course and an individual coaching session – and I was thrilled with both experiences. Silke responded to each participant individually and supported the creative process in a very positive way. The collaboration was highly professional, while also creating a pleasant and harmonious atmosphere.

What I found especially valuable was that I got a real sense of what working in the fashion industry is like and what an educational path could look like. The course and the coaching not only helped me boost my creativity, but also improve my skills and gain new ones.

Thanks to this support, I now feel much better prepared for my journey into the fashion world. It strengthened my desire to pursue this path even further. I can highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to explore their creativity and prepare effectively for a future in fashion.

I have been accepted to Berlin University of the Arts – UdK with my portfolio!

I was part of ABOUT:FASHION’s Premium Mappenkurs Modedesign, and am very happy with my experience! Curated by very talented Silke Geib, who has been a very big motivator and inspiration for me not only during the course, but even after - making sure that I am nailing my application to my dream school! Silke understood me very well, what my ideas are and what I want to communicate, she saw me for who I am and very professionally guided me how to express that. A feeling that you’re truly listened to was throughout the course. 

Silke was truly engaged with our ideas - trying to elevate them to another level. She really cared for our vision and that was very reassuring, especially for me who didn’t have so much experience prior when it comes to fashion. Not only that I ended up with a portfolio that gives me lots of confidence, the skills that I gained through the course are helping me even after. I know how to approach developing a design, what are the steps and how to appropriately showcase that. I can say that I am truly ready to start my studies, and all thanks to ABOUT:FASHION team!:)

I learned a lot in these three weeks in Berlin with About Fashion!

I did the Premium fashion portfolio course on site. And I had the best experience there! The help we got from Silke and Marc was very useful. They did a very good job guiding us with our work and always gave you a little nudge to make your work even more versatile. I can say that I learned a lot in these three weeks in Berlin with About Fashion! Can recommend it to anyone who’s interested in fashion, but just doesn’t know yet where to start.
Vielen Dank für alles, Silke und Marc!
