Fall Internship - Footwear Design
New York, NY
Internship
Rag & Bone
Entry Level
About rag & bone:
From our origins in New York in 2002, rag & bone was founded on a belief of uncompromising ideals: a commitment to doing things the right way, not the easy way. To making things that are as original as they are timeless. To being true to ourselves, even when that truth sets us apart from the mainstream.
We still believe in the same principles we started with: the easy elegance of classic British tailoring, the authenticity of American workwear, and the originality of our home city, New York. As New Yorkers, community and authenticity have become synonymous with our brand. An inclusive environment at rag & bone upholds our original values by encouraging employee connection and empowering each individual to have a voice on policy, process, and collaboration for a more equitable future.
rag & bone’s internship program is unpaid and for college credit only.
We pride ourselves on offering an exciting and educational internship experience to participants, and value the contribution those new to the industry can bring. This is an excellent opportunity to gain real-world work experience, learn how varying departments interface and develop foundational skills to help you enter the fashion world after you graduate.
Must be able to commute to NYC office at least 2x per week.
This opportunity will provide a general understanding of the Design process and how initial concepts come to life. This role will collaborate daily with Design, Product Development, and Merchandising.
