Fashion Design & Sewing Intern

Converted Closet is a fast-growing fashion startup on a mission to reimagine the way we dress—one converted closet at a time. We take vintage, unworn, and forgotten garments and transform them into stunning high-fashion pieces. We’re looking for a proactive, detail-loving intern to join our team in our New York City studio.

If you're passionate about sustainable fashion, love to sew, and are ready to get hands-on in the upcycling process, this is your chance to learn directly from a leading refashion designer. No two days are the same, so we need someone who's flexible, enthusiastic, and ready to roll up their sleeves—sometimes literally.

• Contribute to the upcycling design and planning process
• Apply advanced sewing and dressmaking skills on in-progress projects
• Run local errands, especially to the Garment District
• Assist with whatever creative or logistical needs arise—we love a can-do attitude!

• Advanced sewing skills (bonus points for pattern making)
• Passion for sustainable fashion
• Strong organization and communication abilities
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic studio environment
• A collaborative spirit, with the ability to work independently or as part of a team

• Insider knowledge of cutting-edge upcycling techniques
• Firsthand experience working with a leading refashion designer
• The opportunity to contribute directly to unique, sustainability-driven garments
• A portfolio of pieces created in collaboration with the Converted Closet team

• Location:
  
  New York City (in-person)
• Start: ASAP preferred:li>
• Time Commitment:
  Part-time or full-time opportunities available

This is an unpaid internship, but trust us—what you’ll gain in creativity, skills, and behind-the-seams experience is priceless. Ideal for students looking for college credit or emerging designers eager to stitch their way into the sustainable fashion world. Portfolio-worthy experiences await!
