Judge me by my looks.
AUP students have a very strong sense of style influenced by an array of cultural backgrounds and nationalities. Here are a few examples of what's going on down here.

NAME: Eitan Senerman
COUNTRY: Santiago, Chile
AGE: 18
QUOTE: "Being fashionable is not a big thing in Chile, and I felt like I always stood out; art expression is still developing there. I love it here in Paris because it's a culture of people finding their way and expressing themselves through art. I like to wear comfortable jeans but I don't care about the brand. If it's me, I'll get it."

NAME: Elena Copsidas
COUNTRY: Paris, France
AGE: 21
QUOTE: "I like to spend my time in the 3rd arrondissement where I live and also the 10th. I like the 10th arrondissement because it's an African district and there's a lot of movement"

NAME: Felix Moukoko
COUNTRY: Yaound, Cameroon
AGE: 20
QUOTE: "If I could be one animal, I would be a lion, because it's the symbol of my national football team, Cameroon! I've always been very versatile with my clothes. I may feel like dressing with a more classic style one day, and a more casual style another."
