6 Quick Tips to Build Best Design Portfolio in 2025

Hello,

If you complete a 2 or 3-year Advanced Diploma course in Fashion Design from a recognized institute in India, then absolutely yes, you can apply for a bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design in France.

However, also look for eligibility which will be dependent on the university’s admission criteria in France. Most French fashion schools such as ESMOD, IFA Paris, or LISAA require students to have completed their 12 years of schooling, and in some cases, they may also accept diploma holders directly into advanced years (2nd year entry) if your portfolio and academic background are strong.

So, make sure to prepare a fashion portfolio, transcripts, and meet the language requirements as well — usually IELTS/TOEFL (for English) or DELF/DALF (for French-taught programs).

All the best.

Since you are in 1st grade, you have plenty of time to explore, but it’s great that you already know you like fashion design! At your age, you don’t need to choose a formal course yet—you can start with fun activities and learning that will help you later. Here’s a simple roadmap:

1. Explore Creativity

   • Drawing and coloring clothes, patterns, and accessories

   • Making simple paper or fabric dolls and designing outfits

2. Learn Basics of Fashion

   • Simple sewing or stitching activities (with help from parents or teachers)

   • Learning about colors, patterns, and textures

3. Fun Online or Local Courses

   • Beginner fashion design classes for kids

   • Art and craft classes that focus on clothing, fabrics, or designing

4. Observe and Get Inspired

   • Watch fashion shows for kids

   • Look at clothes and try sketching your own versions

Later, in school or college, you can choose courses like:

• Fashion design

• Textile design

• Accessory design

• Costume design

For now, just focus on drawing, creating, and having fun with fashion. It’s like practicing your superpower early!

Design entrance exams can be challenging, but focusing on the right areas can make preparation smarter and more effective. You should concentrate on visualisation skills, creative thinking, sketching, design awareness, and basic maths and reasoning. Practicing previous years’ question papers, sample tests, and mock exams helps in understanding patterns and time management. For exam centres near Pune, Nashik, and Mumbai, most national-level design exams conduct tests in these major cities, so you can choose the nearest one during registration.
