If the answer is yes, you might want to consider an internship at Beyond Vintage, a 1960s and 70s-inspired contemporary label based in New York’s garment district. The brand’s client list includes major retailers Barneys CO-OP, Nordstrom and Lane Crawford.

They do everything in-house, including design, product development, products sales, public relations and operations. That means they’re looking for interns who have an interest in at least one of these categories.

While the team is willing to tailor the internship to your personal goals, we think the cool thing about this program is that you get the chance to gain an understanding of the entire life cycle of a garment, from conception to the sales floor.

Duties will likely include:

- clerical work and assisting with daily tasks in the showroom
- assisting the designer, sales team, production team, and operations team
- helping with tradeshows
- assisting with product development; meeting with buyers and manufacturers

Aspiring designers, sales reps, PR mavens and stylists are welcome! And honestly, if you’re a would-be fashion journalist, we at Fashionista suggest you consider this as well, even if though it’s not an editorial internship. (I personally would have loved a behind-the-scenes look at how a brand is built.)

Interested parties should send a resume and cover letter to samanthabvintage@gmail.com asap. Were rooting for you!
