Super Tutor
Henna is one of our best Fashion Design tutors. High-quality profile, qualifications verified, organised and responsive to lesson requests, and appreciated by their students.
About Henna
I graduated from Central Saint Martins with First Class Honours in BA Fashion Design Womenswear, achieving an average of 97% in both practical and written work. I also studied BA Fine Art and achieved Distinction in Foundation Art & Design, grounding my practice across both disciplines.
My experience includes designing for Tom Ford and Louis Vuitton, with personal work featured in British Vogue, ELLE, Dazed, L'Officiel, Wonderland, Grazia, and i-D.
Alongside private tutoring, I develop my independent brand from my Midlands-based studio, while also running awareness-focused seminars at Central Saint Martins. These seminars encourage open discussion around the realities of the fashion industry, exploring global ethical issues and supporting students in creating work that is critically informed and relevant to today's fashion landscape.

I offer one-to-one mentoring sessions and portfolio development for students applying to, or studying at, leading fashion and art schools—from Foundation through to BA level.
My approach is thoughtful, honest, and tailored to your goals, whether you are starting out or refining existing work. I focus on establishing a clear creative direction and visual language early on, helping you identify and maximise your strengths to produce work that is both visually and conceptually strong, well-resolved, and rooted in authenticity.
What I cover:
Creative Practice (Fashion Design or Fine Art)
- Research development
- Concept development and creative direction
- Fashion design development, including collection building, mannequin work and garment construction
- Fine art development across 2D, 3D and spatial/ installation-based outcomes
- Hand-drawn and digital illustration
- Material exploration and experimentation
- Critical feedback and refinement
Portfolio Development
- Portfolio structure, sequencing, editing and presentation
- Dissertation and written work
University Applications
- Portfolio guidance aligned with course expectations
- Personal statement development
- Interview preparation and mock discussions
The sessions are designed to help you develop clarity and direction, whether refining a specific skill or building a body of work for applications, final assessments, or career progression.
I offer a free initial online session so we can discuss your goals and decide the most effective plan forward.

Perfect! I had a great experience working on my fashion portfolio with Henna. Every session left me feeling motivated and inspired. She was easy to talk to, listened carefully to my ideas, and gave honest feedback on what was working well and what could be improved.
Henna was reliable, supportive, and reassuring throughout the process, always answering any questions I had. Her guidance really helped me prepare for my application to CSM. I trusted her advice throughout and would highly recommend her to anyone preparing a fashion portfolio!- Thank you V, keep me updated!Henna's response :

Henna will make a wonderful tutor! I’ve seen how deeply she values creativity as something connective and empowering, and her ability to recognise potential and nurture it with genuine thoughtfulness and care makes mentoring a natural progression for her.
Having worked with Henna, her dedication was always clear. She approached projects with real depth and sensitivity, producing beautifully sophisticated work. I would not hesitate to recommend Henna as an extremely hard-working and thoughtful tutor who brings out the best in those she works with.
Henna is an exceptionally intelligent and perceptive individual who combines artistic precision with a calm, inspiring presence. As her former Fine Art tutor, it was evident throughout her studies that she possessed remarkable clarity of thought, discipline, and intellectual depth in her work. She has a strong ability to recognise potential in others and approaches collaboration with both insight and genuine care. Her natural ability to inspire confidence in others makes her exceptionally well suited to mentoring, and anyone working with her will be in very good hands.
An absolute inspiration! Henna has this rare ability to take complicated design concepts and make them feel simple and achievable. Her lessons are so well-structured that before I knew it, I was looking at fashion from a completely new perspective. She's patient, creative, and clearly passionate about helping her students grow.
Extremely useful for my Bsc fashion look book :-) thanks Henna!
