About Koral

Hi! I’m Koral! I’m Native-American Indian & English and have lived in London most of my life. I am a Central Saint Martins Graduate holding both a BA in Fashion Print and a Foundation Degree.

I have 16 years experience in the fashion industry having worked with brands such as Celine, Loewe, Xander Zhou, Grayson Perry, Dilara Findikoglu, Mimi Wade, Ashley Williams, Meadham Kirchhoff, Gucci, Vogue Italia, Matty Bovan, AnOther, Liberty’s, Selfridges and more.

My speciality is designing one-of-a-kind, unique designs & textiles through a distinguished design vision. I have previously tutored students to gain entry onto the Central Saint Martins Fashion programmes, as well as critiquing portfolios to industry standard.

Concept development, design development, collection curation & production for one off garments & limited run lines are amongst the many solutions I offer to emerging & established designers.

Many designers are struggling to define their designer dna, if this is an area you need help with, drop me a message!

A solution based approach to intentional design.
I tailor each session especially for you, whether that’s in person or online, offering a safe space to discuss your designs and ideas.
I offer an initial complimentary 30 minute call so we can define your individual requirements. The purpose of this call is to also to determine whether we have the right chemistry and will work well together. Following this I create a plan of action for us to help you achieve your goal. Previous work/a portfolio is great to see, if you’re a beginner we can discuss what you’d like to learn and achieve. I am very honest with my approach, and will help you turn your weaknesses into strengths, as well as encouraging you to develop your own unique design style, brand & process (and the confidence to execute!). I will encourage you to think outside the box & realise potential routes to your goal you hadn’t previously considered.

I’m helping you with:

• Organising bespoke elements, for example: 3D printed buttons, gold and silver work, CLO3D, laser cut features, digital and hand embroidery, custom knits.
• Collecting the right ingredients & contacts to start a fashion label.
• How to create a story for your brand that is authentic & timeless.
• Improving your drawing & collaging skills.

DISCOVER YOUR DESIGNER DNA
Ideal if you’re feeling a bit lost or struggling to identify your USP. What are you changing through your designs? What is the glistening detail that defines you as a Designer? For those who daydream about working in Fashion, want to start their own label or are applying to a Fashion Degree... In this course we will discover your unique essence as a designer, you’ll learn how to bring your vision into reality. I teach you the basics of fashion design, and the fundamentals of garment construction specific to your collection. I’ll introduce you to potential sample studios, seamstresses, models, photographers and stylists that may work well for your personal brand. We will explore different ways of researching, drawing, collaging, discover new textiles and fabrics, develop a collection and create an authentic story that will captivate your audience.

COLLECTION CURATION
Ideal for those who need direction in executing their first collection, are in final year of uni, or are strapped for time and would like to open up some time for other priorities. Pattern cutting, seamstresses, technical drawings, dyeing, prints, embroidery, bespoke elements, hats, shoes, fit models, photographers, make up artists, hair stylists, photo shoots are all expedited to ensure the experience and results are optimised to couture level. Infrastructure & supply chain for sampling & production in your country of choice for garments, bespoke elements, milliners & jewellery are available.

PRISTINE PORTFOLIO
Ideal if you are applying to your dream degree, job or incubator programme. Presentation, Layout, Collaging, Drawing, Draping and Textiles are all integral elements of a strong Portfolio. I help you improve a current portfolio or create one for the first time.

Having a mentor not only offers a critical eye and advice on how to develop, but is also a chance to speak openly with someone who can understand the emotional struggles associated with working in Fashion industry. Part of my approach is to help you enjoy your work, and to find a way of making your work work for you.

Any questions you have about working in the industry or studying a Fashion degree I am more than happy to help with. I provide extra support throughout the week via WhatsApp, if you need advice between sessions, just drop me a message!

I also provide workshops in the following areas;

1. RESEARCH Sourcing eye-catching, cohesive research is essential in providing a strong framework for a collection. In this workshop we’ll look at different research methods, how to make the research personal to your brief, and how to interact with it for use in the collection.

2. CREATE A PATTERN FOR YOUR OWN DESIGN I will educate you on the fundamentals of luxury level patterns, the tools you need & how to draft a pattern. With a picture or drawing of your design, we will create a draft paper pattern, a toile in calico and a final pattern for your design.

3. CREATE A STORY FOR YOUR BRAND What is the glistening detail that defines your brand? In this mind altering course we’ll explore how your brand is special & how to make it appeal to your target audience. We’ll write a brand manifesto and envision how you’ll bring the ideas to fruition.

FASHION THERAPY BY THE HOUR. I offer hourly sessions on Zoom. Ideal if you are looking for ongoing mentorship or help with a project/deadline.

DEADLINES If you have an upcoming deadline you need help achieving, I am able to offer extra help on weekends and evenings to help you achieve your goal.

Sessions are available online or in person.
My company is unique in the fact it is the first to offer fashion therapy from the comfort of your own home, studio or chaise longue, anywhere in the world. I come to you.
