Nylon Needs Interns (NYC)

Nylon, the cool girl's fashion bible, is looking for interns to start now until end of Fall semester. Must love fashion.

Non-paid internship, must be available to work 2-3 full days a week.

Responsibilities are maintaining the fashion closet (stuck with Chanel, Marni and Christian Louboutin all day, poor thing), calling publicists and showrooms for editorial pulls, returning them to the showrooms and assisting at photo shoots (like the one in the video).

Email resume w/a brief cover (I'd stick to a strong single small paragraph) to Molly at nylonintern@gmail.com.

Good luck!

Inspiration: Daisy Lowe

Young Hollywood, yawn. It's all about crossing the pond to find today's style starlets. You don't see A-list English girls with Yorkie's inside their oversized totes or overly draped in summer scarves. Usually, style is embedded in their blood. Daisy Lowe was born from fashion and rock n' roll.

The young It-Brit is a London native and has modeled for Agent Provocateur, Urban Outfitters, Converse, French Connection and Vivienne Westwood and graced the covers of Italian Vogue, i-D, Harper's Bazaar and more.

Her parents are Brit-rockers Gavin Rossdale and Pearl Lowe. That's right, Gwen Stefani is step-mum and the family keeps growing.

Daisy is the glamorous and sassy mix of music and fashion royalty.

And speaking of that, she dates a fellow Brit with similar music lineage, DJ and music producer Mark Ronson (Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen) *Check out Daisy's GQ photo shoot on the side bar.

Inspiration: Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie has come a long way from her days with that stylist Rachel Zoe. Now she's a haute mama, devoted girlfriend, actress (see her role in 'Chuck') and there's a lot of production deals on her plate. I'm not sure if she uses a stylist now, but just having watched her through the many years, her designer choices are up to par. Alexander Wang, Dries Van Noten, Missoni, Lanvin and many other great labels. She keeps it very L.A. when it's a casual walk with baby Harlow (and her weekly driving education classes) and quite the chic-glam girl that she is for the red carpet.
