Fashion & Design in Europe

Study and learn in Barcelona, Venice, Florence, Milan, Paris, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and London, the centers of fashion and design in Europe. We will experience weaving and wool production in Edinburgh, historic museums of London, haute couture houses of Paris, and other exciting fashion and design appointments. Look forward to the unique architecture that you will find in each of these cities. Participants will visit such places as Edinburgh Castle, a weaving mill, Victoria & Albert Museum, Savile Row, and many other places in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and London. In Paris we plan to visit historic monuments, cathedrals, couture houses, and museums including the Palace of Versailles. In Barcelona we will tour La Sagrada Familia and experience the modern design movement. In Italy and Amsterdam, the focus will be on the Renaissance and craftsmanship, such as glass blowing and leather work. Every city on this trip helps students make connections to fashion and design.
