Happy Finals Week! I am happy to say that I have one last final between me and summer (although sad because I’m leaving NYC in 2 weeks ). I’ve had the most incredible semester in the city, and couldn’t be more blessed to have learned so much about myself. The city taught me that anything is possible if you put your mind too it and that dreams can become reality if you just kept pushing through barriers and limitations. My internship with Christian Siriano taught me the ins and outs of a designer house (from the good and the bad). I wouldn’t be where I am today without that experience. I love everything about New York and just hope that I will return again in the future!
This past weeks study tour was another top favorite. We had the opportunity to visit the headquarters of “Theory.” Our tour gave us insight on how to build the brand, where we heard from the president of the company about his experience in the industry. We also saw the production room, which was a really unique glance into the overall manufacturing of the brand. We saw model fittings for the upcoming line (which is amazing!!!) and we saw areas of technique design and pattern making. I love this study tour and it was a great last week visit.
