Beware of Fashion Week Internships

In the fast-paced and glamorous world of fashion, opportunities for internships can seem like golden tickets to a promising career. However, my recent experience with Fashion Week Internships, a London-based company, has shown me just how deceptive and damaging these supposed opportunities can be.

Several months ago, my daughter, filled with excitement and anticipation, she signed up with Fashion Week Internships in hopes of securing an internship in Milan within the fashion industry. Their promises of invaluable experience and professional growth seemed too good to pass up. Little did I know, she was about to embark on a journey filled with disappointment, frustration, and financial strain.

As the supposed start date of her internship approached, she eagerly prepared herself for what we believed would be a transformative experience. However, just a week before she was set to depart, she received shocking news: Fashion Week Internships had failed to secure a placement for she in Milan. The internship she had been promised simply did not exist.

Left stranded in a foreign city with no purpose or direction, she was forced to reckon with the harsh reality of being misled by a company that purported to have my best interests at heart. To compound the situation, Fashion Week Internships proposed reimbursing solely their fees, showing no regard for the considerable expenses I had incurred for flights and accommodation

Months have passed since this ordeal began, and despite numerous promises and assurances, Fashion Week Internships has yet to fulfill their commitment to reimburse even their own fees, let alone cover the costs we incurred. Their lack of accountability and disregard for the well-being of their clients is appalling and cannot go unnoticed.

Therefore, we feel compelled to warn others about the deceitful practices of Fashion Week Internships. If you value your time, money, and sanity, I implore you to steer clear of this company at all costs. Do not be fooled by their glossy promises and enticing offers.

In conclusion, let my experience serve as a cautionary tale to anyone considering doing business with Fashion Week Internships. Avoid them  and save yourself from the heartache and financial strain that I have endured. The fashion industry may be competitive, but that is no excuse for companies like Fashion Week Internships to exploit the dreams and aspirations of hopeful individuals.
