Angie Bacskocky, senior Fashion Design student at Virginia Commonwealth University’s Department of Fashion Design and Merchandising, had no idea that the garments that she draped and created for her internship at Alexander McQueen would make it to the Paris runways this fall. Angie studied abroad through VCU’s study abroad program at Central St. Martins in London, Great Britain during the fall 2007 and spring 2008 semesters. She interned in McQueen’s design studio in London in the spring semester while taking classes and working.

Ms. Bacskocky’s internship was in the print and textile design studio for Mr. McQueen, and the majority of the interns were textile design students. Angie
3-dimensionally draped the patterned textile into a garment, and created the “leggings” as part of her assigned responsibilities.  She worked as part of a team of interns each receiving projects working toward the completion of the Spring 2009 line.
