Finding an internship inside the fashion industry is very hard. It might because you do not have experience in the role, having certain amount of experience but in a different type of field or not suitable for the role.
For people who seeking for an internship I recommend to use social medias especially to follow the page @assistant_work on instagram. This page is very useful because every day they post various job opportunities such as stylist, assistant, designer, photographer, fashion editorial, model, make up artist and etc. By following this page, you have different options and it allows to connect with new people who work in the industry and speak with them directly.
Moreover, you can use Linkedln where you can connect with people who already works in the industry and they seeking people to hired. In my experience it did not work to find an internship for myself, by engaging with them by sending a message they do not respond.
Another platform that you can use is Business of Fashion Careers, Indeed, Fashion Workies and Fashion Jobs which they post all various types of internships in global world. This is good platform, especially when you want to have experience in abroad and in high luxury brands.
In additionally, reaching out MA students from your university or from other universities is a perfect way to start your career in the industry. In my opinion, with them you can understand how a new brand/new designer approach to enter in industry, build your confidence and gain more experience with sewing, block patterns and to connects with people during their events or photoshoots.
Personally, for my internship I asked few people from MA students who graduate from my university and the respond is pretty high. There were some students who they not look for a intern but they suggest me to reach to their colleagues. Thanks for it I found my internship with Olivia Black.
