We’ve all heard the terrible, heart-clenching and provoking horror stories of unpaid internships in the Fashion industry. Quickly written off as the “you’re doing it for the experience and not the money” understatement for the lives of thousands of hopeful workers, it’s been a huge topic of discussion over the past few years as interns and agencies have fought for monetary rights as a result of long hours and strenuous circumstances.
Experience doesn’t pay bills.
Well, now there’s a gleaming thought of hope for all those wanting to pick up their fashion experience in the Big Apple this summer in an internship. A new initiative, entitled NYC Fashion Forward, will created a variety of paid internships to students aspiring to work in the fashion industry. Backed by the CFDA, Mayor Bill De Blasio and the New York City Economic Development Corporation, the initiative will provide 100 selected high school students and college undergrads with paid internships at a multitude of fashion companies.
The best part? It’s not just one part of fashion, but limitless possibilities with internships ranging from fashion and jewelry design, public relations, manufacturing and much more. Although the list is still growing, companies such as 3.1 Phillip Lim, Diane Von Furstenburg, Opening Ceremony and Kate Spade have already signed up to join the initiative!
Those who are chosen for the NYC Fashion Forward initiative will receive up to 30 hours of preemployment training, and the internship will officially start sometime in July. Students will work around 25 hours per week for a span of six weeks.
Are you interested in scoring a paid internship in New York City this summer? Applications are open until April. 15, and interested candidates can apply here.

“I absolutely adore incorporating vintage pieces from her as well as from my grandmother into my outfits.”
“Bright colors, bold patterns, tassels, gold and anything with banana leaves, elephants or flamingos are also essential to my style.”

While many of us woo’ed over some of the outstanding high-fashion looks that came down the red carpet for the Kids Choice Awards on Saturday, others, well, had a bone to pick with style stars such as Zendaya.
Now we all know this isn’t the first time Zendaya has been hit with public scrutiny over her appearance (*cough remember her locs?); however, this time seemed to escalate way out of hand at the tweeting disparage of Actress Julie Klausner, who took to her Twitter to say this about the child star and the apparent disgust she has for Zendaya’s body weight:As we’ve seen before, Zendaya is no stranger to the game nor apprehensive when standing up for herself against the bullying and commentary of others. The next morning, Zendaya took to her Twitter to respond to Klausner’s claims, saying:However, the story did not end there although Zendaya’s response was, in all fairness, appropriate and respectful. Unfortunately, Klausner felt the need to continue the twitter feud, then responding to the slew of Zendaya’s twitter fans who began accusing her of body shaming. Klausner’s response? She “will never stop criticizing celebs who perpetuate dangerous beauty standards.“Klausner continued her twitter rant, going on to remark on Zendaya’s career and her irrelevance to society, all the while continuing to poke fun of Zendaya’s body size in quite childish fashion:Now, ladies and gentlemen, here’s where things spiraled out of control. Aside from Klausner going on a huge rant concerning Zendaya’s inappropriate body weight, she closed out her tweets with this one lingering idea:
Where the antisemitic claims came into play, we’re not quite sure. Whether joking or not, throwing out a declaration of someone’s intolerance for another demographic is never funny, cute, and clearly shows how insensitive and low Klausner was willing to take the conversation. Plus, how could she have tweeted that all women are beautiful when she had just attacked Zendaya for her body size, which to me, looks fine and appropriate for a young lady as tall as she is.
What do you think of Klausner’s rant on Zendaya’s body weight? What about the antisemitic claims she just threw out there for good measure? What is the solution to building women and each other up (during women’s history month, no less!) when situations like this happen? What should Zendaya’s next response be (if anything at all?)
Grace Gealey got glam at the Alliance For Children’s Rights’ 24th Annual Dinner outfitted in a Cushnie Et Ochs One Shoulder Polka Dot Side Scoop Thigh High Slit Dress:
Although I was unable to find this exact look, this polka dot design one-shoulder stunner seems to be derived from the brand’s Resort 2016 collection.
I think she looks absolutely stunning. What do you think?
