New York Internship Program with Fashion Week Internships

New York was always a city I wanted to travel too and intern in, and when I was accepted I didnt know what to expect.

The goal of my trip was to set myself above as many people as possible in terms of employability, and to experience the hustle and bustle that NYC was famous for.

In my first week, I was getting used to the city and seeing a host of amazing other things (like the music culture and the subway performers).

I had met a load of other interns in my housing who were all from different places, but together there was a real community and we later became good friends and spent time together doing social activities, like visitng the Rockefeller Centre and trying many of the food places we saw on Food Insider.

The staff in my internship were of the highest caliber. smart, friendly, and most of all supportive.

I did have some reservations before I trsvelled but there was a huge community waiting for me if I wanted it, and that made the exerience even more incredible.

I LOVED spending 6 weeks in NY for my fashion internship. The food was amazing and so different from home, the people were always super friendly and help if you need help with directions or subway entrances. I would love to go back now! My internship was really hands-on, and I met tons of new friends. I always recommend that you try and go abroad if you get the chance to experience the variety of people and difference between the countries. I elected to go through my university study abroad and was given a lot of help in all of the planning. Sam and me will never forgot all the grand times we had together in the big apple! I learned so much from this program, the city, the people and the internship, I'm really grateful for the chance.

The Fashion Week Internships organisation is a great resource in getting a good internship abroad specialized in fashion. All accommodation, the internship, and preparation calls are well organized. They guide you well before and during the internship and this makes it a more relaxing process.

The time in London was great, I met wonderful people and enjoyed most days. The work environment was friendly and flexible, and I was surprised how international the company is for culture and mentality. I had a great time, and will be happy to return in the future.

Its seems like a different lifetime that we were wearing masks and watching the shows online, but this year they were back. No more masks, no more social distancing, just the buzz and poetic chaos of collections being unveiled, and then just as quickly disappearing. I worked backstage at the Rodarte and Theory shows, and loved every second. My internship was just a week long so had to I grab the chance to do as much as possible, learning, and getting involved in everything Iw as asked to, dressing, working front of house, helping thre models, I did it all. Working the shows is relentless, and what you see on the runway doesnt reflect even half of the work that goes on backstage, and how tight the planning and timing is. A really great learning experience, that Iwould love to do again.

Thanks to this internship, I am already seeing more opportunities and doors being opened to me. One piece of advice I would give to anyone looking for more internship or grad job opportunities when they finish is to join the fwi alumni group. It seems boring, but it has made my life and job search so much easier.

I thought I would be at a disadvantage not being able to go abroad for my experience but interning in NY has been a great experience and more relevant to my career goals. I can't give a review about going abroad but for US internships, fashion week internships is a good partner to work with.

A unique and brilliant 8 week fashion program that will give your career a jump start, and give you a real feel for the fashion industry! The program provides you with amazing opportunities to get backstage at shows, that are otherwise almost impossible to secure, or even hear about. Self-growth, confidence building, and electric pure fun would be how I would describe the main takeaways from the experience, in addition to learning more about what I was capable of, than in any other previous role. I interned in New York City and am now looking to extend my stay after graduation with the help of the many connections that Fashion Week Internships was able to introduce me to.

Doing a Fashion Week Internship has been an incredible experience! FWI were able to guide me when I felt like I was at a crossroads, trying to decide what I wanted to do in my career. I feel like I left the program having achieved all of my goals, and will carry the momentum into my professional and personal lives. Doing my internship while NY was still reopening definitely presented additional challenges, but being able to work back in the showroom after initially working remotely made such a difference to the experience. Being able to complete my internship having built new connections, with fresh and relevant work experience in my field on my resume, and a clear path to keep pursuing my dreams, is priceless. I felt like FWI was always there to help if I needed them, and staying in the US took away a lot of the problems that some of my friends had to deal with. I have made friends for life, and now have a career mentor to help guide me forwards. I am so grateful for the experience.
