  I have never 'dressed up' for an interview. I just go in normal clothes. I'm not particularly scruffy, but I have no issue with jeans etc.
  Your portfolio should do the talking, that and you should come across intelligent and interested, if someone did that, then I wouldn't mind what they were wearing.
  If a designer came to me for an interview in a shirt and tie or even a suit, I'd probably laugh and think they were very out of touch with the london design industry. I'd want them to look like a designer, not a banker.

  If you were wondering what a designer looks like, it's this:
  shaved head, plain tshirt, optional black thick-rimmed glasses

  • yes i agree with you - over-dressing is just as bad as under-dressing as it shows being out of touch!antoine_101
