About Emma

I graduated from BA Fashion Design in Central Saint Martins, I work freelance on fashion brand project management, design consultancy and pattern-cutting, and I teach as well, I work on UAL and Central Saint Martins short courses as a tutor and I have a set of regular students for sewing, design, business or pattern-cutting tutorials. Before starting my own business, I worked 2 years in Luxury Ateliers with experience as Pattern cutting assistant at Acne Studio, at Mary Katrantzou, Moschino and as a design and studio assistant at Samuel Gui Yang, Students regularly create their designs and work towards creative models and personal goals. Once the base is strong the teaching becomes guidance showing different paths of realisation for each design and helping the students to achieve them independently. A lot of students also book a large number of hours for a specific project they want to achieve and they've all been content with their achievement, I'm really grateful as a tutor to have such wonderful students and I really love my job.

Private fashion tutoring in my Fashion Studio in Caledonian Road, London or online. I'm Emma, I'm a Central Saint Martins Fashion alumna and a short course tutor for Central Saint Martins and UAL where I teach Innovative Pattern-cutting, Sustainable Colours and Fashion Portfolio courses online and in college. Aside from that, I work freelance as a project manager, fashion design consultancy and other fashion-related projects! I'm proposing one-to-one fashion tutorials, the session will be tailored to your needs and teaching can include sewing, pattern cutting, portfolio development, design/textile development, fashion business development, fashion marketing & PR, fashion illustration, natural dye and lake. The session can be online, in my studio or on location. I have students coming from all backgrounds and can help to improve your skills, prepare a portfolio (digital and 2D) for higher education, support university students on their projects for fashion design, pattern cutting, draping or fashion marketing or tutoring for A-level and I also offer business consultancy for any future projects you might have. I have one foot in education and the other one in the industry, I have taught for many different schools and levels, worked freelance and researched natural dye and pigments. I have been working in the industry with designers but also for brands such as Acne Studio and Moschino. We would work together to achieve great quality patterns and garments that you will be proud to wear! I adapt my work to each student's abilities and targets and I'm a creative and patient tutor so don't hesitate to ask me if you have any specific requests not listed or for any other questions/requirements you might have. The studio is equipped with industrial and domestic machines depending on the needs. All the materials for the lesson are provided but you can bring your own if you want to experiment with them. The lessons are given at the studio but can be given at home. Lessons will be focused on each student's target to push them to achieve their best. The studio is located 5 min from Hampstead Station (northern line) One of my greatest strengths is to push students to seek an understanding of what they create, how they perceive the world around them and the work they produce in response. By nurturing each student's creative process and intelligence I can meet their unique needs and create a favourable work environment. Each student is encouraged to enhance their skills through one-to-one support. My goal is to support students by developing their motivation, creativity and skills while showing them how art relates to political, economic and environmental issues. My range of skills and my strong knowledge of modern cultural references and the history of fashion and art support each student in developing meaningful projects with unique references. I'm a fully qualified tutor with a PGCE and enhanced DBS and have worked on GCSE & A-Levels Art and Textile, BTEC Art & Design, BA Fashion.

  • When did you start practicing? How did this passion find you?

    It all started when I was 11, things were a bit messy at home and one of my friends was really into fashion, we sneak to the kiosk to read magazines and we opened the Spring Summer 2010 Vogue Runway Edition. There was McQueen's Atlantis collection, I had never seen anything like that and I felt a sense of belonging. I came back home, went on the Internet lookup McQueen's, and had a look at where he studies, 10mn after I was on Central Saint Martins website using an online translator to try to understand how to get in. Since then I planned to go to London, at 15 I started an Art & Design A-level and I went to Central Saint Martins when I was 18. To me Fashion is really precious, I'm fully aware of the industry but my mission is to promote a fashion where everyone belongs and that feeds people's dreams and hopes.
  • Which artists or works affect you the most?

    As a kid I was obsessed with McQueen's, then I discover a universe like Walter van Beirendonck and Kenzo Takada, later Rei Kawakubo. I miss their freedom in Fashion and their storytelling collection, current fashion has lost this dimension. Today I follow independent designers and fine art is a big inspiration, for me, I admire brand as Story mfg which are doing ethical and sustainable fashion.
  • What are the qualities and skill required to succeed in this area?

    Creative would be the obvious one but realistically in fashion you need to be hardworking, it's a highly competitive industry where you will always meet someone who will work harder than you. Patience is really important as well when it comes to the process and sewing. Then if you are going to go into fashion design you need to have a certain sensitivity about the world around you, a story you want to tell, a message you'd like to carry, or an imagination you want to share.
  • What is the most valuable advice you can give to help someone stay focused on creative projects?

    Don't be scared of getting messy, try new things, make mistakes and let them guide new into a new path. Fashion is all about the exploration and discovery of techniques.
    When you are doing Fashion Design you might feel like it doesn't look like a garment, it's not conventional, ideas become garment but thinking about garment never lead to creative ideas. By stepping out of your comfort zone you'll discover a new you.
  • How would you describe your passion; how does it make you feel?

    I love my job and I love fashion, it feels really controversial, I grow my own vegs, only by vintage and I'm really careful about the environment and I used to feel pulled in between my love for fashion and my environmental and ethical beliefs. At some point, I thought of dropping everything and then I thought if all of us who believe in a better world do that we become part of the problem. I want my student to understand the challenges of fashion and I want to become part of the solution. I'm grateful for my job and thankful for my life, I have meaning in my work and I get to give people a safe place where to explore their creative bubble with no scared and grow into wonderful creations and I support students' education by helping them on the challenge they can meet in education by offering inclusivity.
  • What creative achievements are you particularly proud of?

    I am proud of my practice and of what I create, my collections are 100% biodegradable and safe for the environment while being creative, I had two exhibitions of capsule collections around storytelling and I have been so happy about both. I have been doing my PGCE these last two years which means most of my time has been spent on education and studying but I can't wait to go back to making next year, I have been slowly starting developing my own brand and will keep developing it.
  • Have you ever been surprised by a student; by their ability or quick progression?

    Working with individuals means that you are constantly surprised, I sow ideas and seeds into my student's heads and I never know when and how they will grow and bloom and then they turn up with stunning pieces of work. It's the best part of my work. It's a real lesson to see how the same teaching impact people so differently. I feel extremely proud when students with who I prepared portfolios are accepted into their top choices or when students that was needing help with uni project graduate. Teaching is amazing like that.
  • Being a Superprof is an art! What is your secret?

    I love my work and I believe it makes a difference. I want to be here for my students and I care about supporting them in any way I can. My teaching is based on developing students existing interests and views and growing as a creative beings in whichever way it manifests. You will never see me say it's impossible I'm more of a ' Let's try it ' teacher. This and being patient, it's the key to all teaching.
