The images are current, the layout is helpful, and I think students will enjoy it...The inclusion of digital and hand rendering is particularly useful.

Designers of all levels: Highly recommend picking up a copy of 'Fashion Portfolio: Create, Curate, Innovate' by Tamara Albu & Michelle Nahum-Albright. They offer incredible insight on creating a collection, building a portfolio, personal branding and everything in between. An excellent resource.
