TESTIMONY
By Kristin Jennen : “The summerschool in Paris provides an excellent view on fashion and the behind the scenes of luxury in Paris. We covered different aspects of it and got lots of insight information in the luxury stores itself. Because of a variation of visits, classes and information on the Parisian market, in combination with the nice company of the group, this was for me the perfect chance to see and visit Paris from another perspective.”
