Portfolio Preparation for Fashion with Marie von Voxel
Digital Costume Designer & 3D Artist | Visiting Lecturer in 3D | Exhibiting Artist

Are you preparing a portfolio to apply for a degree in fashion or costume design? I’ll help you build a clear, compelling portfolio that showcases your creative voice and technical potential.

With over a decade of professional experience in theatre costume and a recent specialization in digital couture, I teach portfolio development the way schools expect it: concept-led, visually strong, and technically confident. As a visiting lecturer at the Estonian Academy of Arts and an exhibiting artist across Europe, I combine artistic direction with practical skills so your work reads as professional and original.

What we’ll work on

Concept & Storytelling: develop a coherent narrative and creative direction for your collection (moodboards, themes, visual research).

Sketching & Visuals: improve your drawing and digital sketching (Photoshop, Procreate workflows, AI-assisted ideation) to present polished looks.

3D & Technical Skills: translate ideas into virtual garments with CLO3D — patterns, fitting, and realistic digital samples.

Advanced Presentation: photoreal renders, motion/video reels, and portfolio layout (Cinema4D, Photoshop, After Effects).

Admissions Prep: portfolio sequencing, written artist statements, CV guidance, and mock admissions interviews in a professional context.

Who this is for

High-school students aiming for competitive fashion programs.

Aspiring designers who want a portfolio that balances creativity with technical evidence.

Students who use Procreate or Photoshop and want to add convincing 3D work to their application.

Why study with me

Rare combination of theatrical costume practice and cutting-edge digital couture.

Hands-on, project-driven lessons tailored to admissions criteria and jury expectations.

Practical support: I help translate and polish your portfolio text, advise on CV/content for applications, and run mock reviews to sharpen your presentation.

Having completed Foundation, BA and MA at UAL, I have a deep and up-to-date understanding of how fashion education works — from course expectations and application processes to portfolio standards and final presentations.

I offer guidance in:

- Collection planning, merchandising and product development
- Art direction for lookbooks and campaigns
- Brand positioning and early-stage business strategy

My teaching approach balances intuition and technical skill. I help you trust your instincts while expanding your knowledge through process-based learning. We actively work to overcome fear, creative block or imposter syndrome, so you can express your ideas confidently and with clarity. I teach with empathy, cultural awareness and patience, especially for students working in a second language.
