Work in fashion: Ethical brand Komodo's 'real-life' experience internship programme

British sustainable fashion brand Komodo offers an internship scheme that regularly attracts high calibre international students for six-month placements at its London head office. Rather than doing the cliché coffee rounds or handling the photocopying, Komodo’s emphasis is on giving students an insight into the workings of the business and equipping them with real-life skills and experience – an approach that in turn helps the company get the most out of its interns and is a win-win situation for both parties, as Brand Manager Tony Mountford tells FashionUnited. Below he explains how Komodo successfully implements and navigates internships, and we get the perspectives of two Komodo interns on how valuable the placement has been to their future career.
