It was conducted on the occasion of the presentation of the students’ academic papers as part of the research-oriented seminar (W-Seminar) “Fashion in the English-Speaking World – la mode parisienne: Fashion as an Expression of Social, Cultural, Political, and Economic Structures”, which is conducted by Ms. Katrin Siauve at Gisela Gymnasium Munich. Thank you so much for offering us this unique opportunity for an intercontinental interview!

We would also like to thank Ms. Barbara Haas of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich for her academic guidance and for facilitating this intercultural exchange with the students from the United States, as well as making the interview possible.

The German version of the trait d’union anthem was created by Dr. Uwe Kullnick. Thank you so much for this great work!

A more detailed report on this interview will follow soon.
