So my internship started a week ago. Fun times? not really but I am enjoying every second of it. As a fashion editor and stylist, my constant interaction with cloths is the most fantastic thing that has happened to me since my addiction for salad.
RiverIslandas you may know it is much bigger that the average store you walk into daily. Spending a week in the press office in west end has killed my fears of the busy life of fashion. There is nothing exciting than doing the things you love without a degree (lol) you can laugh with me to that but it is a privilege I don’t take for granted.
My day starts by 9;30 AM in the river island press office. To get the day rolling, I have to looking through the daily press and pluck out anycoverage/featureRiverIslandhas in those papers. Then I get my self ready to be bombarded by magazines and newspapers that can’t wait for opening hours to demand the samples they would love to feature in their publication.
Thought out the day, I am sent out to look for specific cloths publications are interested in featuring. Towards the end of the day I and the team I work with have to do returns which involves returning the cloths back to the stores.
There is something new every day and as I get in to a second week in to my internship, I am ready for any challenge that is thrown at me.FUNTIMES!!!!!1
sounds really like the thing I was looking for, how did you get the internship? Did you just made a
speculative application? I really would like to hear from you, its not easy to get an internship for me in the UK because I’m from germany.

Hi Mimi, I got in through a friend. I will advice you apply, you can google River Island Press office, find the email address for one of the PR there and email them. If you have to stalk that PR with lots of emails do and just tell them how much you want it. Hope it helps.

Hi Tanya, it was an unpaid internship. I think they do some paid internship.
Hi Ibrahim, well done on getting your internship! Can I ask – are River island internships paid or unpaid?
Hi Mazzer, My intership was unpaid. They do some paid internship I guess.
