We explored the world of fashion and costume during our trips and meetings

We didn’t just visit the Premiere Vision trade show, as mentioned above! Together with the Costume Design lecturers, the second-year group went on a tour of the typically inaccessible workshops of the National Opera House at the Grand Theatre in Warsaw, as well as to an exhibition of costumes and scenography by Ms. Joanna Organiściak.
