Portfolio Requirements
After submitting your application there is also a preliminary digital portfolio submission requirement. 

A CSM portfolio must show research, process, concept and development. It needs to be raw, unfinished and more conceptual than what FIT requires; more like your journal. Please include fabric swatch manipulations, muslin development and a few finished garments (3-4) related to the research and development only.

Portfolios must be in PDF format (max 10 MB total) and should include the following:

  • 8-10 images from your journal
  • 4-6 images from your portfolio (artwork from your FF classes)
  • 2-3 images of "Fine Art" work (model drawing can be included)

Interview Process

If you are selected for an in-person interview, please be sure to bring your portfolio that includes:

  • Your fashion art work
  • Garments you have made. These should be represented as real garments and NOT just photos of garments.
  • Your creative journal
