It’s Almost Fashion Week, Please Help

Thursday, Jan 14, 2010 / 1:23 PM

fashion interns needed stat.jpgWe need interns.
Fashion Week’s around the corner, the first Save the Dates arrived yesterday, and we need some extra eyes, ears, and hands both in and out of the office.
Ideally, you’ll have an encyclopedic knowledge of and a deep, deep passion for fashion. You’ll also like to write, and do it well. Realistically, you’ll be on your way to both things and we’ll help you get there in the next three weeks – for now, you should be able to identify most of a front row.
Also, we need a photo intern. We’re not totally sure what we’re going to do with you yet, but we want someone who’s not afraid to join the street style fray, who can pick out front row faces, and who takes better pictures than us (which isn’t saying much).
Click through for details.


We’ll need you at least two days a week until Fashion Week starts February 9th, during which we’ll need you more. How much more depends on your schedule, but you should be eager to skip class in favor of MILK. Our intern hours are officially 11 to 4, but again, once the week starts there’s no on/off.
College credit isn’t necessary, but we can give it to you. You must be in New York City and this should not be your first internship. You should be as familiar with the Elle masthead as you with Dazed or Lula.
You can email work@fashionista with your resume and a brief cover letter in the body of the email, and we’ll get back to you if we think you’re right for the job[s]. (Please do not email to ask if you can do this from California, or what you need to send us, or if we can maybe chat about a future internship.)
We promise it will be fun. And hey, you might just meet your dream designer.

Aw come on! I was totally going to ask if I could the internship from Frisco! So unfair!! ;)
I wish I could make FW in Feb, maybe the Fall if I can swing some vacay time. Have bunches of fun for those of us who can’t! :)

I think it’s unfair you guys limit this to people that only live in NYC, believe it or not there are people that really love fashion and can write about fashion and take pictures that don’t live in the city that could really use an experience like this! Me being one of those people, I don’t live anywhere near the city or state but I would bend over backwards or sleep on the street to have this opportunity if you guys allowed it. I guess I’ll keep dreaming that this could be possible one day.

I would absolutely love to intern! I’m in high school, though :( I do, however, fit all of the other criteria (ability to recognize front-row faces, previous internship experience, etc… Good luck to all the applicants!

New York Fashion Week takes place in New York, so you need to be in New York to cover it. If you want to sleep on the street that’s fine, but you’ll need access to a computer, wireless internet and a shower. Please follow the directions in the post. Thanks!

yes #10, that was probably a sassy response but the complaints earlier about needing to be in nyc were unfounded. fact – new york fashion week is in new york. the author never said you have to live in nyc permanently or go to nyc. you just need to conveniently be here during fashion week…and actually a few years ago, it was during my february break. or if you are willing to skip school/work, by means go for it.

This sounds like such a challenge (in a good way). I just applied. Does anyone know how many interns Fashionista.com is interested in hiring? This internship posting mentions the Fashion Week at MILK Studios. Is this the Fashion Week we will be covering or will we have to be familiar with MBFW’s front rows, too?

#12 I assume that you will cover other venues than MILK. Fashionista is usually all over the place.
