Operation Parsons – operation complete

New York is a hell of a town, and seven days is just not enough time to take it all in, you need at least a week to recover from the jet lag, a second to walk all the way round Central Park and a third to make sure you take in every single rail of clothes in Bloomingdales!!
The partnership with Parson’s was extremely useful, and I only wish it had been put in place sooner, I so enjoyed learning about the design process it would have been interesting to start the partnership at the beginning of the summer, just as the designers were setting out on the start of their work and follow their journey to the finished collection. It would have been nicer to spend longer with the students, perhaps to stay a week later and catch up with them after the panic of the thesis review was over, it felt a little mean to keep them any longer than was necessary to get a few good quotes after they’d worked so hard.
My one piece of advice to the next lot of Epsom travellers – it’s not fun to stay at the YMCA, so save a little money and go stay where there are a few more stars, Trump Towers looked quite nice…(nod nod wink wink!)
