Fashion Week Internships

I am shocked and disgusted to read that people have received placements in 2022! I was scammed in 2020!! I paid them and they sent me an email saying that they’ve gone bankrupt and have had to shut the company down, they also said that if I want my money back I should take them to court! I took them to court, they’ve been ordered to refund me since 2020 and now they’re hiding from the CCJ and still refuse to refund me! Yet two years later they’re clearly receiving money from others still which means they’re literally just ignoring me since 2020! Anyone who puts more money in their pockets should be ashamed of themselves!!

Please be careful - this company likes to take the money of aspiring students!
I applied last year around this time. At first the communication was great and everything went smoothly but as soon as they received my payment everything changed. My program manager Christian Thomas stopped responding to my messages completely. My alleged interview for the company Xuan Paris never happend. The conditions and requirements as determined in the contract were not fullfilled by this company. They persistendly pressured me to move my starting date as they failed to provide me with a placement, their reasoning for this was the COVID-19-Pandemic. Following this I requested a refund as was my legal as well as contractually determined right. I turned towards their customer support where I got in contact with Sophie Taylor and Sarah Hunt. They continued to tell me that the payement is on its way but to this day I have not received anything. I followed every step that was written in the contract. What this company is doing is illegal and morally wrong. I hope that no other young student has to go through what I went through. They shamelessly took the money that I worked months for. As for the people that were involved in my case, Christian Thomas, Sarah Hunt and Sophie Taylor - I really hope that stealing money and scamming young people fufills you.

My winter London internship experience is a memory I will always remember. I was lucky enough to have family and friends in London before attending this internship, so my experience was a little easier than I guess mot people's, as I had a ready-made network waiting for me when I arrived. I had housing planned in advance, though FWI did offer to help with this. I preferred to do a lot with friends after work, and my host company even gave me two days off to visit Oxford, and fly to Amsterdam which was super amazing!
At the beginning I was one of two interns in the marketing and communications team which I found a bit tough to begin with! But as I got used to the speed of things, I got more settled and relaxed, which meant I got bigger and better tasks. I got to learn a lot in my field and make some valuable connections I can take with me into my future career. Overall I rate my experience a nine out of ten, as the internship and being at the shows was a great experience, but the hours were long in the days before the shows, but you get to meet some lovely people, and being able to spend so much time in London was a dream come true.

I looked for this program because some of the seniors did it last year, and as I was looking for an internship I decided to do this one too. I was not initially planning on going abroad, but after talking to my careers officer and some gentle encouragement from my family, I decided to go for it.

I was accepted into a 6-week program in London in marketing field, and it was wonderful, challenging, and a lot of fun. I loved being in the center of London, and everyone I worked with was wonderful, helpful, and always encouraging.

I had a good idea what to expect from talking to the senior girls, but the experience was better than I could have predicted. London is a really cool city, and fashion marketing is one of the biggest segments that all brands work in.

The housing was great and everything in my hostel was really organized and clean. I was very comfortable and having meals made daily cooking not necessary. I never felt like I was on my own, and I cannot wait to return to England to visit next year.

A unique and brilliant 8 week fashion program that will give your career a jump start, and give you a real feel for the fashion industry! The program provides you with amazing opportunities to get backstage at shows, that are otherwise almost impossible to secure, or even hear about. Self-growth, confidence building, and electric pure fun would be how I would describe the main takeaways from the experience, in addition to learning more about what I was capable of, than in any other previous role. I interned in New York City and am now looking to extend my stay after graduation with the help of the many connections that Fashion Week Internships was able to introduce me to.
