Modern Vintage Today Internships (Hollywood)


Modern Vintage Today (www.ilove2shopmvt.com) is on the lookout for two interns to join the family. A specialty boutique based in the Hel-Mel area of East Hollywood, MVT carries some of the city's most fashion-forward retro styles. MVT also features modern artists and designers of Los Angeles (including the store owner and manager, Mary O). In addition, MVT hosts lavish events throughout the year, produces high-end photoshoots and fashion films, and prints a monthly magazine called SAVAGE.

Both internships are unpaid but school credit can be given. There is a lot of room for growth within these roles - both could even develop into full-time paid positions with time.
