Hajra - Danny Nguyen Couture
Fashionista and entrepreneur Hajra A. remembers beginning her internship with designer Danny Nguyen, “I started in the fall of my junior year, and he took me in with no experience- I knew nothing!” As the internship progressed, Hajra found she could not get enough. In the Entrepreneurship Diploma Program, Hajra was able to weave her passions into presentations, projects and even her capstone project, developing an online customizable clothing business. This love for fashion was evident throughout her internship as well, as Hajra recounts going to every event she could. Danny Nguyen took notice of her work ethic and invited Hajra to attend Paris Fashion Week and help work his shows. Hajra couldn’t believe it, “I’m just so stunned- If you had told me in 9th grade I’d be going to Paris, I never would’ve believed you! That’s why I love the Entrepreneurship Diploma Program- it helped me figure out who I want to become. I walked into my first internship not knowing anything and now I’m going to Paris Fashion Week!” With direction and a confidence in her ability, Hajra is looking beyond her upcoming trip to what is next, “I’m looking for a university that not only has an appreciation for art, but also an entrepreneurial spirit.”
