Friday was our final day of Exploring Fashion Camp. We got an early start and visited the Headquarters of Levi Strauss and Co. . What a treat we were in for. Starting off in the lobby with a little history lesson, we learned how Levi Strauss started the company during the Gold Rush.
Onward to THE VAULT where the students viewed archived and restored historical garments and some great Hollywood memorabilia like Jennifer Lopez's customized Levi's and the photo of Marilyn Monroe wearing her Levi's.

| Our team with Sage. |
Designer, Sage Mathews gave us a tour of the Men's design department and answered Anese's miriad of questions about the design and development process.
We ended the tour in the pattern making department. Pattern maker, Jose, showed us how to manipulate patterns in the CAD system they use to work on patterns. So Interesting.
What a great Visit! Thanks to Beth MacLean, Susie Poulelis, Elaine Hamblin & Jose for such a rich and rewarding experience.
