This is such a typical question but i have no clue what to wear... any recommendations?
There's a thread about what to wear: What to Wear to an Interview for a Job or an Internship in the Fashion Industry? and another one for on the job:What To Wear On The Job As a Fashion Intern?
Regarding questions ... it's pretty much the same as a job interview, I would think. Maybe some things like:
Tell us about yourself and you background.
Have you interned or worked before? Explain your duties.
What classed are you taking now?
What about your schedule ... can you work the days/hours we need?
Why do you want to intern here?
What do you expect to learn / gain from working here?
How do you feel about doing (whatever they think up ... answering phone, inputing data, running errands, cleaning and organzizing the closet, getting coffee,)?
What are your goals in fashion?
Where do you see yourself in 5 (or 10) years?
What are your strengths?
What are you weaknesses (or what do you think you can improve)?
What do you bring to the table ... how can you contribute?
How do you work with others ... do you like to work alone or as a team member.
Would you say that you are a self starter?
Do you like to take direction?
Do you like or need close supervision?
There are no wrong or right answers .. they are just trying to get a feel for your personality and how you work to see if it's a match for what they may need or have in mind. For example, they might want a self starter who can just work on her own, finding work without having a boss hang over her every move. Or ... they might be looking for someone who follows directions precisely and will not do anything without asking first. Different bosses like different types of employees ... so just be yourself and keep it positive ... even your "weaknesses" can be explained as a "challenge" that you recognize and are working on.
