Ciao Nomads!
It's my final semester at Parsons (at least as a student) and I've got so many emotions that I kind of don't know what to say! But I am never without words...
I am already a few hundred dollars in this semester and I've only attended 5 classes...4 more to go! It's going to be crazy taking 9 but I know I can handle it after the craziness that was last semester. And at least I don't have a job this semester (well, my freelance work still continues - ha!), which means that I committed myself to an internship for Fashion Week and I am THRILLED to get the chance to work with the Peter Som team. Not sure if I will just be working Peter Som, just Tommy Hilfiger - womenswear, or both, but I am excited for whatever experience I can get with such a talented team.
Also, anyone know what this "Parsons Festival" is that is changing the format of our finals this semester? When is the Parsons Graduation in May 2011?
I will leave you with this - which I am sure will be posted on every fashion-loving blog in the neighborhood. Enjoy:
Bravo Riccardo Tisci, bravo!
Happy Dreams!
Yours truly,
Alex
