Scam!! They took my money and never replied!

DO NOT CHOOSE THEM! In the first couple of months, communication was steady from Christian, Sophie and Sarah. However, after I paid they stopped replying and I never got my placement and I have yet to receive my deposit back. They said Feb 2022 start and provided me info of the company a week before the start date without any support. They changed my start date to July 2022 and I have not heard back from this company since then. They have clearly violated their own terms and have not been replying to me. this company owes me $1100 and they have not replied to me in months now!!!

Cons
  • Communication
  • Scam
  • Took the money

Summer Vibes

A heatwave and lots of excitement! That is the best way to describe my Summer in sweltering London. What a great experience. A unique internship, a crazy city bigger that I imagined, and lots of lovely people.
I feel like I learned so much about fashion, myself and London!
From the moment we landed to leaving, I can honestly say that London is full of surprises. No one expected the city to be so busy and so hot that we could sunbathe, or take a weekend trip to the Brighton beach, but that is what we did!
Such a great fashion scene, from luxury and high-end to independents and up-and-coming designers. Meeting so many new professionals, really opened my eyes to the opportunities.

Pros
  • beautiful city with lots of history
  • great social life
  • brilliant internship
Cons
  • busy subways and buses during rush hours
  • food can be expensive

!!!SCAMMMERS!!!

I wish I knew it before. They stole your money promising a nice internship: you pay the full price and they don't even answer a single email. They suck and I'll sue them.
At first, they will be in contact with you to make you waste time and trust them, after that, they completely ghost you. I'm so disappointed by this platform that is hosting these scammers. I lost 2000Euro and a lot of time. I even signed a contract that promises a refund if they can't provide an internship, but so far, I haven't seen a penny.

STOLE OUR MONEY!!!

DO NOT work with this company. They are a fraud!!! My daughter applied and got accepted beginning
of February 2022 where we paid our deposit of $500 USD. Things were slow going but were reassured
they had placements lined up for her. She had 1 call with her program manager, Christian, and that was
it. Her placement was to be for June 6th 2022. We paid the second and final deposit in April. We
received a refund of our 2nd deposit as we were advised they switched their payment method, and now
we had to do a wire transfer. We sent the first wire transfer end of April. Received a call from our bank
that the wire information was incorrect. Went back to Fashion Week internships, and they provided us
with more information. The wire was returned again. We had to go back to the bank to send another
wire, again another $50 in wire fees. Sent the second wire, and guess what? It came back again as
incomplete or missing info. Contacted Fashion Week again, and more information was provided for the
transfer. Got a call again from the bank, wire still missing or incomplete info. Went back to Fashion week
AGAIN, and different info provided again. Went back to the bank again, and they said something doesn’t
look right. The account holder address did not match. Fashion Week gave the correct address. FINALLY
the transfer went through. Fashion Week blamed us for providing the bank the incomplete or incorrect
info when all along we were putting what Fashion Week provided. We received an email from Sara at
Fashion Week saying the money was received and they would be in touch for a call and were reassured
they had a placement for my daughter. As of June 2, we have not heard one word from Fashion Week
Internships where they said my daughter would not be able to start June 6, the earliest date was now
June 13. I have sent 4 emails and called numerous times where the phone just rings and rings, no one
answers and no voice mail. To be out $1,000 USD is one thing, but for my daughter to have booked and
paid for her trip to Paris specifically for this internship and Fashion Week fail to provide a placement or
refund us our money is just plain old ridiculous and unprofessional. For all you people who had a good
experience with Fashion Week Internships, bravo to you. Unfortunately my daughter was not one of
them. We are writing this to let all of you who are possibly applying for an internship with them, be
wary. As I have seen other bad reviews with the same complaint: money paid and no internship, no
response. We will be seeking legal action as this is not a way to run a company for young adults seeking
internships. Lots of broken promises and guarantees that are all false.

Cons
  • STOLE OUR MONEY
  • RESPONSE TIME IS INSANELY SLOW
  • THE PHONE JUST RINGS OFF THE HOOK

Fun city, great internship.

I was very nervous to go abroad due to covid and the pandemic. I was worried we wouldn't be able to enjoy the experience fully, or really get to know the city. I couldn't have been more wrong. During my eight weeks here, I was not only able to work at a really unique and fun internship, but I also got to see so much of London, and the UK! Being able to access my local coordinator made all the difference as she was able to give us tips on things to do, and places to visit, and made sure that we always had other interns to meet and lean on.

Overall a solid 10/10 program that is well worth the money. I would do this program again if I could.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I'm sure this is a common response, but staying longer would have been the only thing I would change. My time has gone by so quickly and with just 4 days left, I do think that staying longer would have enabled me to travel, do and see so much more.

fashion week 2022

I was fortunate to intern just as London dropped its covid restrictions and experienced multiple roles during my internship, first working as a dresser, backstage, and then in the marketing teams, post show. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and city. housing is in a shared room with to other girls, and travel is cheap with an oystercard, or walking. History and inspo are everywhere in the way people dress, the buildings and the way the everything just fits together. London isn't as expensive as people say but is much more fun!! Loved it.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
working backstage is a really exciting but adrenaline filled experience, as the pace is frenetic and everything has to be perfect and to the second. so much fun.

Fashion week post-covid in London

I completed a 2-week internship interning during LFW A/W 22. While it was shorter than I would have liked due to it being held mid-term, it was amazing. I enjoyed all the buzz and backstage energy of the shows and my mentor was extremely knowledgeable, and happy to share as much as she could, introducing me to people, getting me involved in loads of tasks, and generally taking me under her wing. I would highly recommend this program to anybody looking for a fashion intern opportunity in London..

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
if I could change one thing, it would be the possibility of staying longer.

They stole my money

I was eager to do an internship in UK, so I contacted them. They gave me the wrong visa advise, and because of that I lost the opportunity and when asked for a refund they stole my money even though it is their fault. They are very unprofessional. I don’t recommend it at all. THEY ARE A SCAM
They have poor communications.
Even before getting the visa, they asked me to pay the full amount because i have a meeting with them, which never happened.
I don’t recommend them to anyone, the gave me a horrible experience.

Questions & Answers

I can definitely recommend Fashion Week Internships London Programme, having completed one myself last Summer. My experience was great, and as it was my first time interning overseas my family and I relied heavily on their experience to organize housing and to get me prepped with the visa. I'm happy to recommend them and the overall experience in London, which is an amazing city!

Hi Meriam, 18 is the minimum age to apply, not 21.

We always recommend that applicants apply as early as possible to give themselves the strongest chance of having their application accepted, and as early applications typically have a wider range of potential host companies to have their application matched with.
