Lesson Overview

Who: Johannes – Brand owner and Central Saint Martins graduate with experience in celebrity dressing and industry experience in luxury couture houses

Techniques & methodology: Practice-led, studio-based teaching combining draping on the body, pattern making, sewing, and portfolio development, tailored to individual goals

Lesson length: Typically 90 minutes, allowing time for hands-on making, discussion, and feedback

Who the lessons are for: Students aged 16+, including foundation, BA, and MA applicants, as well as early-career designers seeking portfolio refinement or industry insight

Languages: English and German

Focus: University applications, professional portfolios, technical development, and understanding industry expectations

I am the founder of the fashion brand Johannes and an actively practising designer, bringing an industry-focused approach to teaching. I support students in developing strong, competitive portfolios for university applications and professional roles, with clear guidance on concept development, editing, and presentation aligned with current academic and industry expectations.

My professional work includes designing and dressing international artists such as Björk, Lady Gaga, Grimes, Kylie Jenner, Megan Thee Stallion, Rina Sawayama, and Post Malone for performances, editorials, and public appearances. This experience gives students direct insight into professional standards, timelines, and the realities of working under pressure within the fashion industry. My technical foundation is shaped by experience in couture and luxury fashion environments including Viktor&Rolf, Givenchy, Balmain, and bespoke tailoring ateliers.

My teaching covers draping, pattern making, sewing, and hand-based construction techniques, with a strong focus on fit, proportion, and translating ideas into technically resolved garments. I offer targeted guidance on what universities are looking for at foundation, BA, and MA level: from creative curiosity and process at foundation stage, to technical skill, concept development, and visual clarity at BA level, through to research depth, authorship, and critical positioning at MA level. I work closely with students to ensure their portfolios clearly communicate both creative identity and readiness for academic or professional progression. I am fluent in German and, with formal training in painting, can also support students in developing visual research, composition, and fine art–led portfolio work where relevant.

For eco-conscious individuals: Learn to transform and repair (Mending clothes, Projects with fabric scraps).

Modeling isn't just about being professional; it's about learning to understand your body and posture. It's about knowing your best angles when taking photos of yourself, how to look your best in pictures, and how to handle heels—not just for special occasions, but as your go-to footwear, walking in them with confidence and poise.

Using traditional techniques (hand drawing) or through the use of a digital medium (Adobe Photoshop), drawing is a fundamental element in fashion to capture the ideas and concepts that are in our mind and to be able to give them physical form.

Understanding human body proportions, color theory, and how to accurately represent textile textures are tools that greatly simplify the creative process when planning your designs.

This mentoring program is designed for artists, designers, photographers, fashion professionals and creative practitioners who want to strengthen their portfolio, CV and project presentation materials.

Whether you are applying for a university program, master's degree, residency, grant, award, exhibition opportunity or professional position, we will work together to develop a clear and compelling presentation of your work.

Sessions are highly practical and tailored to your specific goals. We can review and improve portfolios, artist statements, project dossiers, CVs, motivation letters and application materials. We can also work on project development itself, helping you select the most relevant works, strengthen concepts, improve feasibility and highlight research, process and contextual references.

The mentoring process can also help identify strengths, gaps and future development opportunities, providing a clearer direction for your professional growth.

Meaningful results can often be achieved in as few as three sessions. After our first meeting, we will define the most effective path based on your objectives and current materials.
