Summer break!
BA Fashion Print (First Class Honours) Gemma Mairead Fanning
Days of “summer” have finally arrived in London… Thank god! So don’t waste your time in front of a screen or on top of a pot, but go out in your shortest mini shorts and get your white-eew skin tanned! We bet that’s what CSM students are NOT doing now because school is over and these fashion beasts do enjoy their summers inside studios around London, Paris and New York City to name just a few cities. Let’s face it, CSM fashion students won’t ever be tan. Maybe later in their careers…hence italian designers like Cavalli and Valentino, or is it an italian thing? Also, CSM summer school is open, so go when your tan is serious enough. (more…)
