My third week in Paris was a dream. Haute couture week was more than I ever could have ever imagined. I was so blown away by the beautiful gowns I got to dress the models in. I also was backstage with one of my favorite models/celebrities, Bella Hadid. I’m so upset that Paris Fashion Week has come to an end, but I look forward to continuing to explore Paris. Each day there is something new to see here and that’s what I love the most about this city.
This week, I also traveled to London and Amsterdam. I’m so happy that this program allowed me the free time to explore new cities as well. Seeing the cultural differences between Paris, London and Amsterdam was so interesting. The food, the people, and the languages all differ so much and have taught me so much.
