Mila Hunchak

Student

I wanted to thank the school for this opportunity. I have been looking for a long time where I can get good knowledge and a profession related to the fashion world. And when I started my studies, I never regretted my choice. All teachers of the school are great professionals in their field. There are a lot of information, a lot of useful tricks and nuances, a lot of practical tasks, which is very important. It was my first time doing real stylized photography and I really enjoyed the process. I had the opportunity to participate in the project of the school "Makeover" as a stylist, communicating with real clients. And many more practices. I also want to note the good work of the site and the student's study cabinet of the school. Everything is very convenient, specified and understandable. Once, getting an education in the fashion industry, and even at the Italian school, was a dream. But now, having received a European-style certificate, it has become my reality.

Maria Brasoveanu
