Today the fashion majors were lucky... we were able to get out of our morning classes to go to FENDI. We were all really excited to get the chance to go to Fendi and look around their showrooms. We were in awe of everything, of course we wanted to buy everything in sight. We met with one of the main partners with Fendi who gave us our tour of the entire store. The best part of the visit was towards the end.. she gave us the chance to try on the fur coats... we al...

It was really interesting to see the different types of art from some of the most famous artists of that medivial time period. After the museum we then headed off to a interior design factory that was absolutely beautiful. It was interesting to see how they take "random" antiques and turn them into something outstanding and original. After we di...
