So when posed with the opportunity to go to new york with all 84 other members of your fashion course, it of course is a dream come true. Your head begins to spin with ideas and you can just see the photo uploads on your facebook and feel the envy from all your friends.
A persons normal response to a trip is to hot foot it to your nearest Waterstones or WHSmith and get a trip planner or a tourist attraction book.
A fashion students response is to hot foot it to the high street and begin planning ones wardrobe!!
Do we walk the streets of Manhatten as walking talking adverts for Topshop? or push the boat out and mix it up a little its toughie we have all had to face.

Well you know what they say "it aint fashion if you aint freezing!!"
