We are excited to announce we are now accepting applications for our Internship Program.

The program is based at our office in Paris and is a full-time program, running over a period of six months from February 2nd, 2027, until July 23rd, 2027.
WHO YOU ARE
We are looking for students who are currently enrolled in a fashion, textile and/or business-related higher education. You have high aspirations and understand the importance of excellence. You have a curious mindset and strong willingness to learn, and you don't hesitate to ask for help to find the right solution.
