First weekend in Rome: Success

Staying in Rome this weekend turned out to be an awesome decision. Vogue’s Fashion Night Out was on Thursday and it was so much fun!  I heard about it from some people in one of my classes and we decided to check it out. We went to the area around the Spanish Steps where there are a ton of high-end stores. There were so many people in the streets! Many of the stores had DJs or bands playing. It was also really exciting to get to look around in some of the designer stores, like Gucci. Usually stores like that seem really exclusive but there were so many people around that we could go in any store we wanted. It was cool to see the inspiration for the clothes I buy at “fast fashion” stores like forever-21. Forget about the clothes, even the stores themselves were really beautiful. Gucci had rich wood paneling on the walls and golden chandeliers. Just walking around the streets was fun too. Everyone seemed excited to be there and there were models that went into the crowd to show off their designer’s clothes. All in all it was an great night and I definitely want to check out Vogue’sFashion Night Out in Chicago when I’m back at Loyola next year!
