Ashleigh Hobbs, Bachelor of Creative Industries<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Short-term program: IESEG \u2018Fashion Business in Paris 2018\u2019 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

France (July 2018)<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n

My name is Ashleigh Hobbs, a second-year student at QUT, majoring in fashion and film. In June\/July of 2018, I had the opportunity to go on exchange to Paris, France, and study fashion and business at IESEG School of Management.<\/p>\n

The institution I studied at, IESEG School of Management, was in La D\u00e9fense; the business sector of Paris. We had student residency, only a five-minute walk from the school, and this was shared with other students taking our classes. The residency was fantastic, we each had individual apartments containing a fully equipped kitchenette, bathroom, queen sized bed, TV and wardrobe. In addition to this, we had access to complimentary breakfast, including on the weekends.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Life on campus was incredible; because the program is international and immersive, you connect with amazing people from across the globe. Having these friendships made the course even more so engaging and enriching; not only were you immersed in the Parisian fashion culture but also learning about different international cultures and traditions at the same time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The program allows you to connect with people from across the globe.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The academic structure was incredibly smooth and well organised, making it easy to follow, but nevertheless, there was a high work ethic and heavy participation expected from each student. The opportunities granted to us students were world class. Not only did we receive tours of major fashion exhibits, but we also got a tour the Ecole Lesage \u2013 the company whom work with customers such as Chanel, Marc Jacobs, and thus forth. We got to watch the women hand make the tweed samples for the upcoming SS19 Chanel show; it was a once in a lifetime opportunity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I had the most positive experience at IESEG and was exposed to so much industry practice thanks to this wonderful school; I could not be more fulfilled or happier with how the program was.<\/p>\n

As one can imagine, the French capital is vastly different to Brisbane, and Australia in general. It is always important to remain extremely aware in the streets, and personally, I would always advise being with company when venturing away from the student residency and university. It makes it that little bit less stressful having two pairs of eyes and ears and is far more enjoyable in company. Site seeing in the main tourist areas is perfectly safe in your own, however make sure you know the areas you\u2019re in and always take caution.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The streets of Paris.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nevertheless, Paris is world renowned, and for great reason. During our stay we were able to visit places such as the Louvre museum, the Chateau of Versailles, the Louis Vuitton foundation, endless fashion exhibits (including Dior, Museum of Saint Laurent, Maison Martin Margiela and Hermes, etc.) Paris itself was everything I dreamed and more. Generally, when it comes to \u2018experiencing\u2019 Parisian culture and the city, Paris can be very costly. Despite this, Paris can still be enjoyed on a budget. There are a large array of grocery stores and local markets, and due to having a kitchenette, it is easy to cook your own meals, and the difference in price is huge. You will save a lot of money by doing this, but I still recommend doing some research and choosing some amazing spots to eat out; for the atmosphere if nothing else.<\/p>\n

The Eiffel Tower.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When it came to the cultural aspects of living in Paris, I wasn\u2019t affected too much by culture shock. As you are surrounded by friends from all over the world, you are all able to communicate on your experiences and go through the journey together. Out of respect for the country, however, it is nice to learn a few French phrases to get you by (even if it is just: \u2018desole, parlez-vous anglais?\u2019 Meaning, \u2018sorry, do you speak English?\u2019).<\/p>\n

After partaking in the IESEG School of Management Fashion Summer Academy, I feel so inspired, motivated and refreshed to start back at QUT, and understand further the amazing career pathways that can be undertaken in my industry. Choosing to partake in the program not only made me more academically inspired, but made me so much for worldly, and confident in being associated in the international fashion industry. I cannot recommend doing this program, and going on exchange in general, enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
