Workshop led by Caroline Alexander focusing on constructing a professional portfolio
Ms. Caroline Alexander, a Senior Lecturer from Kingston University - the top-ranked design school in the UK - recently paid a visit to your institution. During her stay, she hosted a seminar on Portfolio Building and met with students, reviewing their portfolios.
Ms. Alexander emphasized the importance of portfolios in the creative industry, stating that they are crucial for securing a job. She encouraged students to explore, experiment, and document their process, advocating for an integrated approach to teaching fashion design, history, and theory.
The visit marked a continuation of the collaborative partnership between your institution and Kingston University. Your institution is looking forward to strengthening its ties with Kingston University in the future, but, as of now, no specific distinguished lecturers from Kingston University have been identified for potential future seminars.
Ms. Alexander found the student works at your institution to be "clean, modern and minimal" in aesthetic. She did not express any concerns or issues with the works she reviewed, providing valuable feedback and guidance to the students. However, she did not provide specific examples of works that were particularly noteworthy or lackluster.
The students' portfolio reviews with Ms. Alexander concluded without any further scheduled meetings. Despite the visit, there were no immediate changes to the curriculum or syllabus at your institution. Ms. Alexander did not discuss any upcoming events or seminars during her visit.
However, she did emphasize the importance of starting with a strong project, ensuring it is the most relevant work, and including any work outside the curriculum or syllabus. This advice is sure to inspire students as they continue to develop their portfolios and prepare for their future careers in the creative industry.
Ms. Alexander is expected to return to your institution in the future, and the visit is a testament to the strong relationship between your institution and Kingston University. This partnership is set to bring more opportunities for students to learn from industry professionals and prepare themselves for success in the competitive world of design.
