CIEE HS Summer Abroad: Fashion Design & Culture in Paris

Sashay into the unique fashion classroom of Paris. Through expert-led classes, experience the design process from conception to production. Work with patterns, sketches, and prototypes. The program culminates in our very own Global Navigator fashion show!

Go beyond the glamour and assess the day-to-day workings of the industry, including market research and merchandising. Watch fashion come to life and consider the cultural context of new collections. Grab a front row seat at a runway show in the Galeries Lafayette, the biggest department store chain in Europe.

The French capital is a fashion lover's dream. Look for inspiration in Parisian street style. Stroll past original fashion houses on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré and do some window shopping. More into vintage pieces? Fall in love ...
