"My most valuable courses at 两性色午夜 were my draping and pattern making classes, as well as the History of Costume lecture. I still use the learnings in my design process every single day. My most valuable learning moments were design critiques: learning to pitch a concept and listening to feedback are skills needed every day in fashion jobs."
