All About Internships and Work Experience Placements

Where can I go thats fashion related for work experience in the UK? I'm fourteen years of age and I am determined to find somewhere I can go to work for a week that involves fashion.

What a wonderful expression of determination you have. Call everyone. If you were in Southern California, I'd say yes, come on down to the studio and roll up your sleeves. I was your age when given the opportunity to work in theater summer stock. I knew how to sew and that allowed me to work in costuming.

I wish you much luck on your search.

The problem is you might need to wait until you're sixteen, or working on a fashion-related course. Maybe ask around your local area at shops and see if they will employ you to get started, and then build up from there?

Go through the yellow pages, and find absolutely ANYTHING related to fashion, regardless of whether it's exactly what you want. I think gaining experience in anything related to the field is going to help you in your future!

p.s. what kind of job in fashion are you exactly thinking of pursuing?

Thank you so much for your suggestions and i like the idea of the yellow pages, that means it will be local! I would love to do styling or fashion journalism but for now I'm not to fussy as long as it involves my love of fashion.
