It’s the shoes… | GoAbroad Blog →
Over the years, I’ve learned that your choice of shoes is an incredibly important part of any trip — especially when going abroad! Take it from someone who packed for her first five month study abroad trip in one average size backpack and one small rucksack — you don’t need all those shoes!…
Shoes. Shoes. Shoes. Omigod! Shoes.
How many to pack, and how many do you actually wear? Got any shoe advice of your own for people preparing to travel abroad?

People Who Studied Abroad #183:
Zac Posen, designer
From:
United States
Studied:
Pursued a degree in womenswear from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, University of the Arts London (United Kingdom).
From “Zac to the Future”, Lucire Magazine, 2002:
Lucire: Do you think that by going to Central St Martin’s gives you an edge as a young new American designer as opposed to somebody who might have gone to FIT or Parsons?
ZP: Well I think I was around students and teachers where you are able to format your own project by yourself, you’re pushed to the boundary. At St Martin’s you’re given a briefing and a month later after meeting with your teacher you have to present. It’s very intense. You have to be very self-motivated.

Europeans can spot an American from a mile away based solely on our clothing choices. We have unlocked the mysteries of those judgmental European looks to bring you OTP’s What NOT to Wear While Traveling Europe tutorial.
