Portfolio

Give your portfolio a cover letter. One of the most common mistakes that applicants make when applying for internships is to leave out a cover letter. A cover letter is an important part of your application and should be included in your portfolio. In it, you can briefly explain why you are interested in working with this company and what work experience or skills you can bring to the table that will add value to their business. Keep it short and sweet!

Some tips when writing a cover letter:

• Keep it up-to-date! A poorly dated or out-of-date resume will reflect badly on both your professionalism and ability as an applicant—so make sure all information is current before sending anything off! Also remember that even if there isn’t an exact date for each piece of work listed, there should still be information about when each project was completed—for example “last semester” or “last summer” would be acceptable options here (as opposed to simply leaving off dates entirely). This way employers know whether they’re reading something from several years ago or just last month’s work sample; either way they’ll have enough context around which one was created first/most recently so they can decide whether there’s any relevance between their own business needs today versus those back then.”

Internship

Internships are a great way to gain relevant experience and skills, while working and learning at the same time. If you’re looking for an internship in fashion, here are some things you should know:

• What kind of internship? There are two types of internships: paid and unpaid. If you’re interested in getting credit for your work, ask if your internship can be taken for credit at your school. Some schools even offer “practicum” programs that allow students to combine coursework with hands-on experience in their field of interest—this could be a great opportunity for aspiring fashion designers!
• How long will it last? The length of an internship depends on what type of company or organization offers it; some last just one semester while others may span multiple years or even decades (see below). In general, part-time internships last between one and three semesters while full-time jobs usually take up four (or more) semesters worth of time each year; however this varies greatly depending on what type of work is needed by those who run these organizations so it’s always best practice when applying for any position within this industry especially if there isn’t much information provided about said position beforehand.”

Photoshoot

As a photoshoot intern, you’ll be responsible for helping to manage the photo shoots that occur at your company. You’ll work with photographers, models and other assistants to ensure that each shoot runs smoothly.

You’ll also have the chance to develop your own photography skills through practice sessions and critiques with more experienced photographers. Photographers may allow you to take photos on their own time as well as while they’re working on shoots. In addition, you may have opportunities to create mood boards and shoot test shots of clothing samples before they go into production.

Depending on where you intern, there are many other duties that may fall under this category:

• Taking professional photographs of products or clothing during a shoot
• Editing product images in Photoshop or similar software programs

Project Runway

Now, you may be wondering how to get your foot in the door at Project Runway. There’s no simple answer because it depends on where you are in your career, but there are some tried and true methods that can help you make an impression. If you’re interested in becoming a fashion designer or model, for example, then spend as much time as possible working with fabric and sewing skills. This will allow you to make clothes that express your creativity while also showing off your expertise with this essential skill set.

You could also consider volunteering at Fashion Week events like those held annually during New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week during their respective seasons (spring/summer and fall/winter). These opportunities will give you valuable experience meeting designers who have already established themselves in the industry as well as learning about what makes them successful—and it might even lead one of these professionals to offer an internship opportunity!

Fashion Design

Your role as a fashion designer will involve:

• Designing clothes and accessories
• Researching current trends to keep abreast of what’s in, what’s out, and what’s being talked about online
• Creating concepts and designs for new collections
• Developing patterns from your ideas that can be used by production staff (the people who make the clothes)

You’ll also need to select materials and fabrics for your designs. You might need to oversee their sourcing, quality control testing, storage, transportation or delivery.

Textiles

Textiles are any woven product. They include different types of fabric and can be made from a variety of fibres, but they all have one thing in common: they’re used to make clothing and household items.

Textiles fall into five main categories:

• Cotton – cotton is the most widely used natural fibre for textiles, because it’s strong yet breathable; it absorbs moisture easily (sweat), meaning you don’t get too hot when it’s hot out; and it’s relatively inexpensive. Cotton itself comes from plants like gossypium hirsutum (commonly known as “American upland” or “Upland”), which produces large amounts of soft fluffy seed pods that contain seeds used in many industries including agriculture (to grow more plants), food processing (for flour production), pharmaceuticals (cottonseed oil), cosmetics/beauty products (cottonseed meal) and many other things besides!

Merchandising

In order to learn more about merchandising, you should:

• Work with a company’s merchandising director and create a merchandising plan that accounts for the following factors:
• What items are currently in stock?
• How many are available in each size? Which ones are selling well? Which ones aren’t selling well?
• How many of each item will be ordered from vendors based on sales trends and what items need to be ordered soon.

Fashion Show

A fashion show is an event put on by a fashion designer to showcase their upcoming line of clothing during Fashion Week. The fashion show debuts every season, particularly the Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter seasons. It’s where the latest trends in fashion are made and introduced to the world!

Spring is a great time for fashion internships

Spring is a great time for fashion internships. The weather is warmer and people are more active, so they’ll be looking for new clothes, shoes and accessories to wear around town. In addition to the obvious benefits of being paid while you gain experience in your field, spring offers some other advantages over other seasons. For example:

• It’s a great time to start your career if you’ve been considering it but haven’t made any firm decisions yet. If so, this might be just what you need!
• You can get out there and enjoy the weather when it gets nice outside (or at least tolerable). You’ll have plenty of opportunities to explore new places and try out different activities like kayaking or hiking through nature trails with group tours offered by local businesses who want their customers’ dollars!
