The Parsons Project

The Parson's project was a success in my own personal opinion and I'm sure that everybody else would agree. Once we were able to meet our designers that we had been talking to for the previous few months - it was exciting to see the collections for my self  and not just from photographs. 

Maybe next year the students could be paired up earlier so that they could follow the process of making the collection for longer. this maybe more beneficial for the UCCA students as they could have a deep insight into how a collection is made from start to finish.

All in all it was a fantastic opportunity and feel that my knowledge of the industry and New York grew because of it. 

What I Learnt

New York has always been my favourite fashion capital by far and visiting there only confirmed this for me. It is everything that I adore about fashion - and with Marc Jacobs and Donna Karen being two of my favourite designers, I was in my fashion element.

Parsons was extremely professional and could instantly tell that there students were going to go onto do well in their careers. The thesis collections were delivered smoothly and I realised just how much time had gone into the work, as the looks could easily have fitted in Bloomingdale's immediately.

By taking part in the project I got to finally appreciate the capital for myself and not from a far. I truly fell in love with the city just as much as I have always adored the fashion.
