Fashion Design Internships in France

My internship experience was super specific to me and my career goals. Prior to my internship, the AIFS team asked me questions and specifics about my educational and travel goals! The specificity in work and activities I wanted to do made this experience so special to me! Not only boosting my resume but making life-long friends and being able to travel back to Paris, knowing it like my hometown! I grew so much through this program- finding my independent and outgoing side. I tried so many new things, like escargot (which was delicious and is now a favorite of mine) and jazz clubs! What made the experience super unique compared to other programs, it had planned vacations and day trips, along with cultural activities. I was able to have a true vacation planned out for me and already paid for when I got there. I was able to see things like Monet's garden and chateaux without the stress of planning travel and budgeting. While there were many planned activities on weekends, during the week, I got to do whatever I wanted, like a true Parisian. My day would start with a slow morning, some coffee from my favorite local cafe, and a short walk to my internship. I would work until about 3-4 pm, and then choose what to explore that day- Notre Dame, the Louvre. I had lots of freedom in deciding to see and do what I wanted to, but also enjoyed the planned trips, going to places I had never heard of, like Saint-Malo! I would recommend this for anyone willing to try new things and who wants to really integrate into the culture and life of France!

Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing to express my strong interest in joining your fashion business internship program. With practical experience in retail and a background in visual styling and communications, I am eager to contribute to your team while continuing to grow professionally in the fashion industry. Fashion has always been a deep personal passion of mine. I have previously worked as a sales assistant in a clothing store in the Netherlands and as a fashion model for Ukrainian brands. These experiences helped me develop a strong understanding of customer preferences, visual aesthetics, and product presentation — all of which I believe are essential in the fashion business. Currently, I live in the Netherlands and speak English fluently, while also actively learning French. In fact, I plan to apply next year to a fashion business program in France to continue my education in this field. I strongly believe that this internship would be an ideal step toward building a strong foundation before entering a formal academic program. It would also allow me to gain practical, international experience in the fashion industry. I am enthusiastic, detail-oriented, and eager to learn. I am confident that my strong work ethic, creative eye, and multilingual skills will allow me to contribute positively to your team. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to learn and grow within your organization.
