I'm a current fashion student studying womenswear in London and I'm thinking of putting school on hold and moving to NY to look for part-time work/internships assisting stylists and start working from the bottom up.
The reason I want to take a gap year is because I am no longer interested in design and would like to get started with styling. In terms of working in NY, I am a US citizen so I will not have any problems with the Visa. So far, the only 'experience' I've had is assisting a final year student for three months on various tasks such as hand-sewing, machine sewing, pressing garments, dressing the model, and styling the look.
When applying for styling internships, will I be immediately turned down based on the fact that I haven't had much experience in the industry? I just finished my 1st year so I don't have that much experience at the moment. I'm able to do any work that is asked of me while interning and everyone has to start somewhere.
