Fleur du Mal is a luxury lingerie and ready-to-wear brand founded in 2012 by Jennifer Zuccarini. The collection is distributed online at fleurdumal.com, in Fleur du Mal Boutiques, and with top retailers around the world.
Design internships at Fleur du Mal are a very hands-on learning experience. Interns can expect to learn the design process from concept and inspiration, through pattern making and sourcing, down to sample making. As we are a very small design team at Fleur du Mal, interns are an essential part of our team, and we strive to make this opportunity as educational as possible.
Our interns will directly report to both Associate Designers, who will delegate tasks from both the lingerie and ready- to-wear sides of our brand. Interns should be currently enrolled as a student in a Fashion Design program. Our internship offers college credit and is unpaid.
