Please Note

This internship is unpaid.

We are unable to organise visas for international students.

The internship must be a required element of your course.

A letter from your tutor or placement coordinator confirming this will be required during the application process.

This internship is full‐time and in person. We do not facilitate remote work.

We understand that committing to an unpaid placement requires a genuine investment of your time and energy, and we do not take that lightly. The early stages of a creative career are a critical time for building real technical ability, confidence, and professional understanding, and gaining hands‐on experience in a working studio environment can play an important role in that development.

Our internships are structured as true training placements rather than production roles. In the first weeks especially, our team dedicates significant time to demonstrations, close supervision, mentoring and feedback so that interns can develop their skills with care and precision.

For a small atelier this teaching time is a real commitment, but it is also where the greatest learning happens. Interns join us to observe, practise and grow within the studio environment and not to carry out menial tasks or replace paid members of the team. Our aim is to provide a supportive and professional space where emerging creatives can gain meaningful experience and a deeper understanding of the craftsmanship and discipline behind couture.

At the heart of our atelier is a shared spirit; we place the greatest value on attitude. We are looking for individuals who bring a positive, respectful, and inclusive energy to the atelier, who are generous in spirit, considerate of others, and genuinely invested in contributing to a supportive team environment.

Our work is highly collaborative, and we believe the best learning happens when everyone feels encouraged, valued, and uplifted. A willingness to listen, to learn, and a genuine appreciation for being part of a craft is essential, which is why we warmly welcome those who take pride in being part of something bigger than themselves.
