Why Boston is a Great Place to Study Fashion
Boston, Massachusetts, has often been equated with society and gentility, and while there is much about the Boston region that’s decidedly not genteel, it’s still a place with plenty of creativity and culture to go around. The New England Conservatory incubates music; the local Blue Man Group takes performance art to the cutting edge; and the Museum of Fine Art’s Textile and Fashion Arts Collection celebrates the city’s heritage as the historic center of the U.S. textile industry. It’s a city well suited to study and work in fashion.
