The BDes program is really great: it allows you to be really creative, and to express yourself in a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere. I wanted to study fashion because it’s fast, it’s varied, it’s exciting and you get to do lots of design, drawing and research, all of which I love. I chose to come to GIFT because it has the best courses both in terms of design and getting a job afterwards.
