How do internships shape our portfolios

I’m currently a fashion student and diving into internships to build my portfolio, but I’m curious about how other students have approached this. I’ve done one at a local boutique, and it was eye-opening, but I wonder how much variety is important. How do you choose internships that really elevate your work?

It’s great that you’re diving into internships! They can really shape your style, like a fine-tuned fashion crystal ball… One way to find the right fit is to think about what skills you want to learn; the right internship can be like a masterclass in what you love.
