We’re looking for eager and fashion-forward interns — and, as in previous seasons, we need your help to find them. The four candidates who receive the most votes will go on to be first-hand participants in one of the style world’s most exciting events.
We received a wealth of entries when we announced this season’s New York Fashion Week Intern Contest, and after making some very tough decisions we’ve narrowed down our selection to seven remaining candidates. As the last challenge in our contest, we’ve asked them to submit one-minute video essays that answer the following questions:
1. Think of an historical figure who, like FIJI Water, is the embodiment of good taste. Who would it be, and why?
2. If you could put that person in any one fashion designer’s show, who would it be, and why?
3. If you could put that person in any one style of outfit, what would it be, and why?
Now it’s up to all our friends and fans to vote for their favorite intern candidate. A few things to remember:
Watch the videos below and vote for your favorite. The four lucky winners will spend a week working and mingling with some of the most important names in fashion. Good luck to the seven who’ve made it this far!
