About Elena

I am a graduate from Parsons Paris The New School, where I spent 4 years completing my BFA in Fashion Design & Collection Development. I work as a menswear design at Aimé Leon Dore, and have a professional eye with portfolio preparation for the workforce or for competitive fashion schools. Tutoring is a passion of mine -- I love to make projects possible at all levels.

About the lesson

I offer tutoring in portfolio design and sewing for students of all levels. I am based in NYC and am happy to work with you in person or online.

Portfolio Design:
Together we will dive into your artistic universe, to help your voice and creativity stand out in a competitive market.
Story-telling is everything in fashion, so my lessons focus on creative research and presentation. Your portfolio is your voice, a look into your world, so we will present the strongest and most polished version of it.

Sewing Lessons:
Each lesson is based on a creative project that we will work on together. I have a library of garment blocks from Parsons if you are interested in making clothing. Together we will go through the basics of pattern making, choosing and cutting fabric, and construction with different seams and sewing techniques. You will also learn to understand your machine (tension, basic maintenance, threading the bobbin) and what materials to buy to have an at-home studio equipped for any project.

Please reach out with any questions, as each project, portfolio, and design is unique to the student.

Elena's response
I really enjoyed working with Noa on her portfolio. We created separate portfolios for FIT, Parsons, Pratt, and Drexel, with a focus on fashion design. She was very organized and open to re-working past design projects to show them in their best light for portfolio submission. A very hard-working student who made big progress, I wish her the best of luck for applications this year!

Elena and I first crossed paths about 7 or 8 years ago in Paris, and we’ve been inseparable friends and creative collaborators ever since. Now, as I dive into art and design historic, and curatorial practices at Harvard, Elena is my go-to for feedback, advice, and her invaluable, sustainability-savvy insights into fashion and its history. Her interdisciplinary perspective never fails to inspire.
