I recently have started the process of applying to fashion design school, and the require that you submit a portfolio. I was curious about what exactly they would be looking for, and what kind of pieces it would be best to include or leave out.
On a related note, I've also been somewhat curious about the overall quality of peoples portfolios that they have gotten into artschool with, because most modern art seems like shit.

If you're going to apply for fashion design you should be able to exhibit adequate drawing of both the figure and drapery. Naturally, you should look at the art of fashion designers for an idea of what they're looking for.
If this picture you've submitted, which features a woman that's wafer thin (and I don't mean in an idealized way) and probably just over 4 heads tall represents your best work you need to keep practicing before you even bother applying. Don't go to the school unless you're good enough to get a healthy scholarship and definitely don't go without looking at student portfolio shows.

The picture I posted is probably best described as "the best work I had actually on my computer." I took a costume design course as an elective for my last degree, from which I'll probably include a few pictures.
