Qi Yun Studio is a fashion design practice and creative consultancy based on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, New York.
From one-on-one portfolio coaching for top fashion schools to design and strategy support for brands, I help turn ideas into clear, compelling work – both on the page and in the studio.
Fashion Portfolio & Application Coaching for NYC Fashion Schools
For designers applying to schools like FIT, Parsons, and other leading fashion programs.
In this program, we work together to:
- Clarify your design story and personal point of view
- Build complete projects from research to final looks
- Strengthen sketching, technical flats, and 3D thinking (draping, mock-ups, toiles)
- Edit and structure your portfolio for each school’s requirements
- Prepare statements, presentation decks, and interview talking points
Format
- One-on-one sessions online or in person at my Fifth Avenue studio in Manhattan
- Flexible pacing: intensive short sprints or long-term planning across several months
- Suitable for: undergraduate / graduate fashion applicants, students changing majors, and young professionals building a design portfolio
“I treat every portfolio as a mini collection and a personal archive of who you are becoming as a designer.”
Design & Consulting for Brands
Qi Yun Studio works with brands on both the creative vision and the practical details that bring a collection to life.
Support can include:
Collection & Concept Development
Seasonal storytelling, moodboards, fabric direction, and line planning.

Creative Direction & Visual Storytelling
Concept for lookbooks, editorial imagery, and visual narratives that connect the collection to your brand’s long-term identity.
Workshops & In-House Sessions
Small-group sessions for your design or marketing team: understanding fashion design process, using AI as a creative tool, or building stronger visual narratives.
Format
Project-based or retainer collaborations
Remote work with clear milestones, or on-site sessions in New York
Custom proposals for emerging designers, independent studios, and established brands
Fifth Avenue Studio Highlight
Based on Fifth Avenue, Manhattan
All of my work is anchored in a physical studio space on Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan – a place for fittings, mock-ups, and quiet, focused design work.
- In-person portfolio reviews and fittings
- Small private sessions and creative workshops
- Easy access by subway and close to New York’s main fashion districts
Online clients are just as welcome – the studio simply gives a real, working base to everything we do together.
