It’s been a few years since I’ve found myself back in school. After some lucky timing on a pre-planned trip to Belgium and the right ‘network’, I’ve again found myself in a university lecture hall, a situation I have not encountered since my last awkward dream of sitting naked and strung out, chewing on my nails as I struggle to write an exam or essay which I have not prepared.
I hope and pray my experience at the Antwerp Fashion Summer School will not be the same. Lucky for me, it is not. I’m neither naked, nor strung out, but feeling warmly accepted by a group of bright, eager, and incredibly well-dressed and well-spoken group of 40 + international students from incredibly diverse backgrounds from fledgling label owners, wearable technology innovators, stylists, pr, HR, masters students and even a ph.d candidate in supply chain management. My new friends hail from (of course Belgium), but also England, China, Estonia, Latvia, Hungary, and other regions of the EU.
Led by the charming Annick Schramme (Course Director, Academic Coordinator Master Cultural Management (UA) and Master Class Cultural Management (Antwerp Management School)) and her assistant Laila De Bruyne (Education Assistant in Cultural Management) our curriculum for the week will focus on a variety of guest lectures, tours and activities around Antwerp and Brussels. I can’t wait for it to begin!
