GQ needs interns.

They’d like a handful of highly-motivated, professional, and experienced interns to work in their fashion department.

It’s unpaid, duh it’s Condé Nast, but you will learn a lot! Normal day-to-day responsibilities include managing the closet, handling incoming and outgoing samples, assisting editors on projects ranging from storyboards to store pulls, and general office support for the entire department.

They’ll pick the most detail-oriented, highly organized multi-taskers who thrive in a fast-paced environment. Previous experience in the fashion industry is a must, so is living in New York. They’re looking for spring interns, but they’re also interested in anyone who can start now and work throughout the year.

You can e-mail your résumé and cover letter (as attachments) to gqfashion_intern@yahoo.com, with “GQ FASHION INTERNSHIP” in the subject heading.

Good luck!

As you well know, most fashion and beauty internships don’t pay a salary.

But finally, we’ve got one that does! Guess is looking for someone to work in their public relations department for…$10/hour.

You’ll be trafficking samples, keep the showroom all nice and presentable, maintaining the databases, and helping out with press previews and market appointments for Guess, Guess by Marciano, and G by Guess.

They’re looking for candidates that are at least sophomores in college, but recent grads can feel free to apply too.

And you get paid. Hooray!! If you’re interested, click here to apply.

On Tuesday night the second season of The City premiered on MTV. I’ve been stewing over the new episode since it aired, and I’m not sure why I still watch a show that never fails to frustrate me.

I’m a recent college grad and current industry intern, who has spent hours sending in dozens of internship applications only to get one response. I know what it’s like to spend an entire day in the fashion closet of a major publication, and how grueling it is to write up entire racks of clothes and then wheel them around town. Conveniently, none of the unpleasant aspects of fashion internships are ever depicted on the show.

By now it’s no secret that much of the action on The City is staged, but its classification as a “reality show” blurs the line between the real and the fake. Younger girls who are in the target demographic might not realize that breaking into the fashion industry isn’t so simple, and doesn’t provide instant perks. To be perfectly honest, growing up in Virginia and going to school at Tulane, I didn’t know the full scope of what a lot of jobs in the industry required until I had one. And I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in that fact.

Still haven’t locked up your fall internship? No worries. There are still some good ones for the taking.

The public relations, sales, merchandising, and design teams at both Kate and Jack Spade are interviewing right this second. Their internships are really hands-on and busier than ever with the newly launched apparel line.

It’s probably a good idea that you’re familiar with (and like) the distinct Spade aesthetic, have impeccable organizational skills and are ready to make a real commitment to your gig. And school credit is a must.

Details after the jump.

Everyone knows V threw one of the sickest parties of the week after the MJ show, complete with Gaga at a piano. They’re also looking for a new intern for the vmagazine.com and vman.com, which if you’re lucky just might give you a leg up getting into their next big bash.

You don’t need to be getting college credit but you do need to be seriously fashion knowledgeable, incredibly web savvy, and ready, willing and able to commit to three to five days a week. Skill sets also necessary: Photoshop, CSS, HTML, and Flash. If you know After Effects, you’ll earn some major bonus points.

Fournier Comminications is a public relations firm that has a portfolio of luxury European beauty brands for clients and they’re looking for fall interns. Can you say product closet??

Your responsibilities will include press kits, event planning, maintaining clip files, client interaction and administrative functions. And it’s a smaller operation so you’ll actually get to help out in the strategic planning of new product launches. Translation: major hands-on beauty PR experience.

But to get to do all that, you need to have amazing computer and phone skills and be available for at least three days a week.

How about an internship in sales?

Prabal Gurung, formerly of Bill Blass, currently of his own increasingly successful label, needs a few sales interns for the fall semester. They’ll assist the sales team during selling campaigns and perform administrative tasks for the department. They’ll also liaise with PR and sample trafficking, research new stores, reach out to buyers, assist the sales reps with appointments and revise purchase orders and line sheets.

The perfect candidate must have strong writing skills and be both professional and organized. You should also have an off-site computer equipped with Excel.

Still looking for your fall internship?

Way to cut it close. (Just kidding, we still need interns, too!)

GQ would like a few of you for their fashion department. They’d prefer the most enthusiastic, fashion-loving, hardworking students - especially those who can start immediately and work through to the end of the semester. Before you apply, you should also make sure you’re motivated, detail-oriented and organized, especially under pressure in a super fast-paced environment.

You’ll be based in the closet, you won’t be paid and the more you can work the better.

The Public Relations department at Nicole Miller is in dire need of some fabulous interns to start at the end of this month and work at through October. Ideally they’d love to find a junior or senior undergrad majoring in fine arts, design, or something along those lines, but it’s not necessarily a requirement.

You guys know the basic drill. It’s a must that you love fashion, are crazy organized and don’t mind doing whatever is necessary to pull things together at the last minute. Such is life during show season.

Nicole’s showing on September 11th so you’ll definitely be super involved in pulling that together. You’ll also track samples, credits, assist with market research, as well as helping out the licensing department.

Converse needs a few stellar interns for fall.

You must be in NYC and available two to three days a week, starting now until December, from 9am to 6pm for college credit. They’d like you to be a rising junior or senior with a minimum GPA of 3.0. You don’t have to have experience, but as always, they’d love it if you do! Also, if you know Photoshop, major bonus.

It’s in the PR department, in which you’ll work mostly with Converse, but also John Varvatos trafficking samples for editorial and celebrity requests, maintaining and organizing the closet, scouring magazines for editorial and news coverage, helping with mailings, giveaways, updating the media database, helping out with events and tours and of course general administrative tasks like copying, expenses, etc.

Everyone wants the big internships, but it’s the little ones through which you’ll learn the most.

We can’t even fathom how much you’ll learn helping Rachel Antonoff prepare to show her SS10 collection next month.

She’s looking for four or five interns to help her out. If you’ve worked with a designer before, that’d be great, otherwise your love of fashion should be enough to get you started. If you need college credit, cool, if not, no problem.

Once Fashion Week prep starts, designers work pretty much around the clock so whether you want to work one day or four days a week is up to you, though like any internship or job, the more you put into it the more you’ll get out.

Modelinia is looking for both full and part-time interns starting now throughout the fall semester.

You must, of course, love models as well as the fashion industry. Tasks will include researching models, fashion, beauty, and charities, assisting the editorial director on shoots and at events, basic office work, assisting the photo department with photo research and sometimes contacting publicists, fashion houses or beauty companies on behalf of Modelinia.

In order to do those, you’ll need basic knowledge of how an editorial website runs. Some sort of blogging, Photoshop, CMS and/or photo researching experience would be great, too. You should be articulate and organized and able to write fun posts and promotional copy if necessary. Having a positive, reliable, “can do” attitude is the number one requirement.

Peter Som needs interns, too.

He, or his staff rather, would like you to start immediately in preparation for Fashion Week and continue throughout the fall semester. They’re specifically seeking responsible, proactive and hard working students with an interest in fashion and in learning how the industry works.

They’ll need you three days a week for things like making and updating press kits, sample trafficking, wholesale and merchandising projects and of course general administrative tasks.

Magazines not for you? Don’t feel like helping a stylist? Not interested in writing for us? But you still want an internship? How about a showroom?

Steven Alan’s hiring. They need interns starting now and a good crop for fall, too. It’s kind of like working in the closet, you’ll check samples in and out and keep everything organized. But you’ll be doing it in a gigantic Tribeca showroom instead.

Marie Claire’s fashion department needs a superstar intern for fall.

You’ll assist the Fashion Assistant for a minimum of three to five days a week. Interns will be based in the fashion closet and responsible for checking in and returning samples, creating story boards, organizing the fashion closet, filing lookbooks and responding to ongoing requests as needed.

Candidates must be highly-motivated and proactive, extremely organized, and able to work well in a fast-paced environment, not to mention you better have a positive attitude. As always, it’s great if you have closet experience but not a necessity.

You can send your resume and a cover letter stating your availability and potential start date (the sooner the better!) to mcfashion34@gmail.com, with “Marie Claire Fall 2009 Fashion Intern” in the subject line.

Good luck!

I’m not sure when this time of year turned from Back to School to Fashion Week, but somewhere along the line one took over the other.

But if it’s still back to school for you, you probably need an internship and if you need an internship in fashion you’d probably kill to learn the ropes at WWD.

So lucky you. The men’s department needs three, three who are particularly organized, motivated, and obsessed with fashion. You’ll check in samples, return samples, answer phones and emails and assist the men’s fashion editors at photo shoots and help with market research. You’ll work closely with the Men’s Assistant and Fashion Editor, too.

It’s the ones like this that make us wish we were still in the intern phase of our lives - Camilla Nickerson needs an intern.

The super stylist, like super-duper stylist, has worked everywhere from American Vogue to W, on campaigns from YSL to Michael Kors and needs your help with a little bit of everything.

Experience is preferred, but enthusiasm and an insane passion for the industry can be equally as helpful. Like most fashion internships, it’s kind of an around the clock job so let’s say five days a week, from 9am to 5pm starting now and lasting through the summer. Needless to say it’ll probably be one of your top college experiences and determine whether or not you can survive the fashion industry.

With that said, email your resume and brief cover letter to jorden.bickham@gmail.com.

Bonne chance!
