Resources
Tools and templates from the studio. Direct, practical, built from twenty years of consultancy work.
Two industry-credible CV templates for fashion students breaking into the UK industry. Modernist variant for contemporary brands, heritage variant for luxury houses. Built-in guidance from a senior consultant who has reviewed hundreds of CVs.
Most fashion student CVs read like office templates that someone has reformatted. This pack is the version a senior consultant would actually want to receive — built around what brands look for, what they ignore, and where students consistently fall short.
The pack contains two templates: a modernist variant for students aiming at contemporary brands like Toteme, Khaite, The Row and Jacquemus, and a heritage variant for those targeting luxury houses like Dior, Hermès, Burberry and Chloé. The same content structure runs across both — different typographic and colour languages so each version lands the way it's supposed to in front of the right reader.
Each template comes with built-in guidance from someone who has reviewed hundreds of fashion CVs. Section by section: what to write, what to skip, what brands quietly score you on. The "I'm passionate about fashion" opener is gone. Vague bullets like "team player" are gone. In their place: the specific moves that take a CV from rejected pile to interview shortlist.
The templates are .docx — they open in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or Apple Pages. Edit freely. Replace the placeholder content with your own. Match the accent colour to your target brand's palette. Submit.
Here's everything in the pack: both CV templates — the modernist and the heritage — plus a full PDF preview of each so you can see the finished layout before you start editing. A colour palette reference card with six tested palettes for different brand contexts, hex codes ready to drop in. A README that walks you through setup, the placeholder convention, and how to change the colours in Word. And a single-user licence. Six files, instant download.
