Fashion Intern

Fashion Show & Fall Events Internship | Boatwell Georgetown

Boatwell is a growing resort lifestyle brand looking for highly motivated interns to join our Georgetown team for our fall fashion show and event season.

This is not a sit-back-and-observe internship. You’ll work directly with the founder and a small team, getting hands-on experience in what it actually looks like to produce events and build a growing fashion and lifestyle business.

You’ll help with fashion show production, event setup and breakdown, inventory management, merchandising, retail sales, guest experience, product organization, and the dozens of unexpected things that come up when a small team is producing a large event.

We’re looking for a very specific type of person. You’re highly motivated, exceptionally organized, comfortable moving quickly, and naturally take ownership of what’s happening around you. You notice what needs to be done and jump in without waiting to be asked.

We give people responsibility quickly. If you take ownership of something and prove you can handle it, you’ll be trusted to run with it.

This is a fast-paced, hands-on role. Event days can be long, physical, unpredictable, and fun. We’re looking for someone who takes pride in doing the job well and genuinely wants to be part of making the event successful.

You’ll gain real-world experience in fashion show and event production, retail operations, inventory management, merchandising, entrepreneurship, and small-business operations. You’ll see firsthand how a small team takes an idea from concept to execution.
