Whose Next Prét à Porter





My first weekend in Paris was amazing!  On Sunday, I took an eight hour tour of the city with everyone.  We stopped for a quick photo shoot at the Eiffel tower and then went to a huge market (where I purchased adorable black flats).  By the time we got back to our apartment, I was exhausted.  I haven’t walked so much in a long time, but I love seeing all the sites especially during my favorite season.  Instead of attending class yesterday, we toured a showroom in Paris for the Whose Next Prét à Porter. I also saw two fashion shows.  The experience was awesome; I got to see all the new trends for next season.  This spring, you can expect to see lots of orange, blues, corals, and yellows.  The prairie/pheasant look will also be big and lots of sequins and bows!   The fashion shows were amazing; we were front row for one!  Being this close to fashion has only inspired me and reminded me how passionate I am about my upcoming career in the industry.  Today, Ana Burk came to speak with our class about the opportunities available with Rick Owens and Gareth Pugh (who dresses Lady Gaga!).  Turns out, I will be working the shows in September and I will be working in the Rick Owens main floor showroom in October!  I am thrilled to have these opportunities and learn from the creative minds I will be working with!
