Let me guess.
You wanted a summer internship in fashion. Maybe you applied. Maybe you sent out dozens of applications, refreshed your inbox for weeks, and heard nothing back. Or maybe you didn’t even know where to start, because nobody ever explained how this industry actually hires.
And now it’s summer. Three months where it feels like your fashion dream is on pause while everyone else is “getting experience.”
But the good news is that the summer you don’t have an internship can become the summer that finally moves your career forward. Not despite the free time. Because of it.
I know this because it’s exactly what I did.
When I was studying management engineering (yes, engineering, not fashion), I had no connections, no fashion degree, and no clear path in. So I spent each summer during university teaching myself everything I could about the industry. Those summers are what impressed the recruiter when I interviewed at Alexander McQueen. They’re the reason I secured my first internship at a luxury brand. The recruiter was genuinely surprised by how much I already understood, and that commitment is what got me in.
That’s the whole idea behind the Summer Fashion Camp. To give you a way to turn this summer into real, visible, recruiter-ready proof that you belong in fashion, all from your laptop, wherever you are.
The 5th edition is here, and it’s the most comprehensive one yet.
Don’t Just Dream of a Fashion Career This Summer. Practice It.
Most fashion courses teach you theory. The history. The “passion.” The vibes. You finish, and you still can’t answer the one question that decides everything:
“But how do I actually get hired in fashion?”
And the bigger question a recruiter is silently asking when they look at you:
“Can you actually do the job?”
You can be passionate, talented, and willing to work, and still get ignored. Because no one ever showed you how this industry really hires, and you have nothing yet to prove you can do the work.
The Summer Fashion Camp is built backwards from that exact problem. No experience? Perfect. This is how you get it.
What you actually need to get hired in fashion
After almost a decade of teaching and mentoring, and having helped thousands of people break into fashion, I can tell you it comes down to three things:
1. Insider hiring knowledge. Understanding how fashion really hires, not the generic resume and cover letter advice you find on Google or get from ChatGPT. The kind of knowledge you usually only learn once you’re already inside.
2. Proof you can contribute from day one. Fashion companies want people who understand what the role will actually involve, so they can start contributing sooner instead of needing to be taught everything. That means completing real fashion projects that look like you’ve already interned at places like Vogue, Saint Laurent, or Miu Miu.
3. Real skills. Not passion, not just industry knowledge, but the skills fashion professionals actually use and test during interviews, like Microsoft Excel.
The Summer Fashion Camp gives you all three, pulled from our three most popular courses, plus exclusive live masterclasses with industry professionals.
This is your chance to spend the summer not just learning about fashion, but actually working in it.
What’s inside the Summer Fashion Camp 2026: a 3-part system that takes you from outside and ignored to inside and hired
The camp is a bundle of our three top courses, plus live masterclasses designed for the camp only.
Part 1 — Break Into the Fashion Industry
The insider application method. How to position yourself, what the industry actually looks for, the back doors most people never see, and how to write resumes, cover letters, and portfolios that get answered. Plus how to handle the interview and set up a LinkedIn profile that attracts opportunities to you.
Part 2 — The Fashion Internship Simulator
This is where you get the experience and the skills. You work on real fashion projects, learn how fashion teams actually operate by stepping in as a team member, build the skills, and create the portfolio that proves it.
You do the actual work, the same kind of projects you’d be handed as an assistant on day one, and you finish with a PDF portfolio you can show recruiters.
There are four projects, and you can do all of them or focus on the one most aligned with the role you want:
- Editor-in-Chief for a Week — build your own magazine issue from concept to completion: set the theme and vision, choose the cover, create the editorial concept, and more.
- Assistant Stylist for a Day — work a Vogue Italia editorial as a styling assistant: research brands, select looks, request the clothes, handle PR communication, and track everything like a real studio assistant.
- Marketing Assistant for a Day — step into Saint Laurent planning a retail activation event for a limited-edition re-launch: the mood board, the in-store flow and guest journey, the product strategy, competitor analysis, and post-event plan.
- PR Assistant for a Day — launch a global PR strategy for the Miu Miu x New Balance collaboration: choose the campaign face, build the seeding plan, design the PR package, plan the social content, and write the press release.
Each project comes with video lessons of 60 to 90 minutes that walk you through every task step by step, plus a guided document to follow.
Part 3 — Excel for Fashion
The most-requested skill in fashion offices, and the one nobody warns you about. This isn’t the simple formulas you could pick up on YouTube. It’s Excel applied to fashion: real cases, real data, from the basics to Pivot Tables and VLOOKUPs fashion teams use daily, plus the business side like retail KPIs, margins, sell-through, and samples management.
It even includes the real Excel test LVMH gives candidates, so you walk into interviews already knowing you can pass.
Fashion masterclasses: learn from people working inside the industry right now
These are exclusive to the camp, each with a live mentorship Q&A where you can ask anything:
- Sofia Stahl, Photographer & Fashion Magazine Archivist — how fashion editorials and magazines are really made, and how the archives shape today’s campaigns. (July 6)
- Martina Corsi, Responsable Maquettage, Atelier Prototypes Leather Goods at Louis Vuitton — how luxury products are actually developed, from inside one of the world’s most prestigious ateliers. (July 13)
- Ife Oyetade, Art Director at Condé Nast — how a fashion campaign comes to life, walked through with four real examples. (July 22)
- Fashion Week Management masterclass with me — how a show really runs, and how to work backstage at the upcoming September and February shows.
Plus live monthly Zoom mentorship calls with me, where you bring your questions and get personalized support.
What you’ll get by the end of the Summer Fashion Camp 2026
By the end of the camp you won’t just have notes. You’ll have:
- A clear path to break into fashion, with insider strategies
- A resume, cover letter, and portfolio that scream fashion job-ready, even if you have zero experience yet
- Four real portfolio projects that prove you can do the work
- Practical industry knowledge across editorial, styling, PR, marketing, buying, and merchandising
- Interview confidence, including the Excel skills that get tested
- A certificate of completion to add to your resume and LinkedIn
You go from outside and ignored to inside and hired.

Fast forward to September
It’s September. Two girls, same dream of working in fashion.
Girl A is still scrolling job posts she’s too scared to apply for. Still “figuring it out.” Another season gone, and she’s exactly where she was in June.
Girl B spent the summer by the pool AND building her way in. Real skills. An insider plan. A portfolio that actually looks the part. Maybe even an offer sitting in her inbox.
Same age. Same passion.
Which one are you choosing?
You have a summer in front of you either way. You can spend it waiting for a chance to open up. Or you can spend it building the exact proof that makes recruiters open the door for you.
I spent my summers doing this, and it changed everything. Now I want to guide you through it.
Let’s build your portfolio, your confidence, and your future, together.
