Are you a high school student interested in pursuing a career in fashion? Would you like to gain hands-on experience in a leading fashion organisation? Whether you have already identified your ideal job, or are still exploring your interests, an internship is a great way to immerse yourself in the world of fashion, learn from professionals, and gain foundational skills that are invaluable whether you will be applying to university, an apprenticeship, or entering the job market.
