I’ve noticed that a majority of those that post are into the athletic side of footwear. I was wondering if there was any information as far as internships go and just those that work outside of that realm.
Examples would be Steven Madden, Stacey Adams, Robert Wayne…etc
they do. thats how i got into the business im in and i must say, i initially was focused on athletic, but i love the “brownshoe” business now that im in it.
alot of the brownshoe companies are part of bigger corporations. Wolverine worldwide, weyco group, brown shoe, etc. good place to look for jobs at these companies is http://www.stylecareers.com/
Pretty much any “fashion” company will hire you as an intern, you just probably won’t get paid, or get paid very little. With this being the case, I’d go big, if you are going to work for free, at least get some killer experience.
This is true, i know when i was looking for internships i found that kenneth cole offered them but they were unpiad… in nyc… which is rough! Luckily i didnt have to go that route. Not that i wouldn’t have liked it, but i wasnt trying to be any more broke than i already was.
