Los Angeles is a global design epicenter with an exciting fashion industry. This Study Tour program gives you a valuable opportunity to immerse yourself in the heart of the West Coast fashion world.
During your time here, you’ll learn more about the fashion design and production process from initial concept to final product. You’ll tour fashion design studios, visit fashion production facilities and sustainable fashion companies, and get to explore museums, galleries and cutting-edge architectural projects.
What’s more, you’ll meet with leading fashion designers, principles of creative agencies, internship coordinators and studio owners. The Los Angeles Study Tour program will let you find out more about contemporary design practice and show you how design innovation can be a creative, cultural force.
