In this issue: fashion magazine internships with GQ, Cosmo and Details, a couple of design and PR internships as well, plus more. Lot’s of opportunities today! Click the link to see the entire post:

NYLON needs interns in the fashion closet, starting pretty much now and ending after the Fall semester.

You already know the drill by now, but just in case:

You should be smart, obsessed with fashion (in a calm, non-stalker way), motivated, patient, selfless, and able to lift Prada and Westwood bags with a single swoop.

You should not be convinced that you are the next Cory Kennedy, the next Lauren Conrad, or the next Christian Siriano. If you truly believe you’re the next Christian Louboutin, that would be okay.

This internship is only open to people in New York (sorry!) and only open to those who can work 2-3 full days a week.

I know that’s rough, but if you can make it work, and want to be a closet babe, email Molly at nylonintern@gmail.com with a BRIEF description of why you can make her life easier.

Also, okay, I need one more intern for Fall, so if you want to be put through writing boot camp (as Britt can attest), you can email me too.

Miss you guys.

xoxo Faran
