About Jens

I am a very experienced fashion design professional and tutor, having a long and dual career teaching and working in the industry. I was initially trained in Couture at Chambre Syndicale de la Couture in Paris. I have since obtained two master's degrees in Fashion Design from Central Saint Martins MA in London and Fashion Management from Institut Francais de la Mode in Paris.

My professional career includes having run an award-winning eponymous brand in London Fashion Week that let me be scouted by Rei Kawabuko from Commes des Garcon to be stocked in the Doverstreet market London concept store for Commes des Garcon whilst also selling the conceptual luxury brand in 75 international stores. I have also worked and collaborated with a long list of high-profile luxury brands, including NET-A-PORTER, CALVIN KLEIN, J MENDEL, LG FASHION, LINDA FARROW, SPIEWAK, and TOPSHOP, and designed bespoke couture garments for DAPHNE GUINNESS.

I have always combined my professional industry practice with tutoring. Since being asked by Professor Louise Wilson to teach the prestigious 'Navy Seal of Fashion' MA Fashion Course at CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS, I have extensive fashion tutoring experience from working on both MA and BA levels as an MA Fashion Design and MA Fashion Communication Course leader at UAL CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS MA, BA, RCA MA, IFM MA, UNIVERSITY OF WESTMINSTER MA, KINGSTON, CSVPA.

I have mentored post-grad students to get into MA at Central Saint Martins, Royal College of Arts, Westminster and Institut Francais de la Mode. I have also been an external examiner and BA Show jury selection at WESTMINSTER, KINGSTON, BRIGHTON in the UK, GERRIT RIJTFELD Amsterdam, SADI in Seoul, ICELAND ACADEMY OF ARTS in Reykjavik, and VIA TEKO and KADK ROYAL ACADEMY in Denmark.

Having trained under the legendary professor Louise Wilson, course leader at CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS MA course, I have extensive experience in MA Artschool creative research and design development methodologies. My Fashion Design Teaching methodology has been developed from a long international design career, having worked not only in London but also in Paris, New York, Istanbul, India and Seoul for brands like CALVIN KLEIN, J MENDEL, NET A PORTER, SPIEWAK and TOPSHOP.

My dual creative profile combines robust concept-led fashion design with hands-on Creative marketing thinking that allows the creative process to inform any visual outcome you may need to develop, from more substantial Fashion research and design methodologies to documentation process of projects and final collections to strong visual portfolio-making and production of any visual communication asset from portfolio to photo/video shoot and website design.

My design thinking is based on a personal design philosophy named HYBRID RECONSTRUCTION, which I developed when undertaking research into 'what is in fashion after de-construction ' during my MA studies at CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS. I have since adapted this manifest to my design practice as a fashion designer and filmmaker, working with clients and teaching/mentoring students to help them develop their universe, style, and creative portfolio outcomes. I can adapt my design methodology to all students of any level, from foundation to undergraduate to MA, who wish a solid introduction to UK research and design methodologies. I am also teaching online courses at UAL CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS.

I can teach both individuals needing to improve their existing design portfolio for UK course admission alongside teaching small groups with specific design briefs in different areas. My past students today run successful eponymous brands in both London and Paris Fashion Week and have won international design competitions such as HYERES, IT'S and NEW GEN, whilst others work today for YVES SAINT LAURENT, BALENCIAGA, PACO RABANNE, GIVENCHY, CHLOE, MAISON MARGIELA, COS, JOSEPH among others.

I propose different tutoring packages in :
- CV + EXISTING PORTFOLIO REVIEW WORKSHOP to help update existing portfolio for UK applications all levels from MA, BA to Foundation level
- PRE-MA PROJECT: To introduce your work process to UK design methodologies.
- RE/DECONSTRUCTION PROJECT: To use up-cycling as a design methodology
- ART/DESIGN VISUAL RESEARCH PROJECT resulting in creative craftsmanship development.

I have exhaustive international experience in online teaching. I am also happy to study and propose a small group workshop shop if you are several students who want to form a small group and learn from each other's creative journeys and peer learning. I also have experience teaching overseas students in different time zones, such as China, India, South Korea, Russia, France, and the USA, so we can adapt and make a tailored schedule to suit your needs. Past students have been accepted on UAL CSM MA and BA , CSM Royal College of Arts MA.
