It has been a banner year for the YMA Fashion Scholarship Fund intern program as the group has placed virtually every candidate who sought summer employment this year. In all, 47 scholars received placements in 35 companies across the wholesale and retail spectrum from Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Macy’s and Gap to Zac Posen, Anna Sui and Li & Fung.

The organization hosted an “intern social” last week at the Tommy Hilfiger store in New York’s SoHo neighborhood where working interns in New York, from across the country, could meet each other, network with Fashion Scholarship board members, and mingle with celebrities like Tommy Hilfiger and Project Runway winner Leanne Marshall. The evening was deemed a great success by both interns and YMA members as the future fashion executives had plenty of time and opportunity to interact with major players from Fashion Scholarship Fund member companies.
