Over spring break, 2023, I was blessed with the opportunity to join a study abroad tour to London.
I knew that I would enjoy the trip, however I didn't know how much of an impact it would make on me. I recognize that I am fortunate to be able to go on a trip like this, that others may not get to experience, however I recommend that anyone who is able should go abroad. The world is so different everywhere you go - it is so easy to be trapped in the bubble of your hometown. I was able to expand my knowledge of the customs of another country, as well as valuable information for fashion design. We toured a well-known sustainable brand, Raeburn, teaching us about different sustainable methods. We toured a portion of the Alexander McQueen archives and learned about the creative processes. These were only a few of the things we did, but they were the most impactful to me. It was so much easier to find inspiration in a city like London, versus my small college town in Alabama. I've always tried to be a somewhat worldly person, experiencing different cultures, but its different when you get to experience it in person.



After the trip we were assigned to make a brief scrapbook reflecting our memories.
