About the Internship
We're on the hunt for a Retail Curation Intern who ges it , who knows the vibe, spots the trends before they hit, and wants to help shape retail experiences that actually matter.
This internship is your backstage pass into the world of pop-up retail at large-scale festivals and lifestyle events. From scouting indie brands and iconic drops to helping create experiences that stop people in their tracks, you’ll be part of the team that makes it all look effortless (even when it’s not).
What You’ll Actually Do:
• Discover and research the coolest fashion, lifestyle, and artisanal brands (we’re talking real finds, not just what’s trending on your feed)
• Help with vendor outreach, onboarding, and keeping the vibe strong with solid comms
• Stay on top of the paperwork (yes, there’s admin too — but it’s all part of the hustle)
• Join brainstorms, pitch ideas, and help curate spaces that feel fresh and relevant
• Be on the ground at events, helping bring the vision to life and making sure everything runs smooth
• Gather feedback and insights so we can keep levelling up every time
About You:
You’re probably already curating your own corner of the world on your feed, your fits, or your go-to spots. You’re:
• Plugged into culture, style, and what’s next
• Obsessed with good design, great vibes, and details that matter
• Confident communicating with people (DMs, emails, real-life convos — all of it)
• Down to roll up your sleeves and help make magic happen
• Super organized and not afraid of a spreadsheet when it counts
Why Join our Program
This isn’t about getting coffee , it’s about getting in the room where the ideas happen, the brands are built, and the events come alive.
You’ll walk away with hands-on experience, creative inspo, and a deeper understanding of how to make moments that stick.
