PANDORA, 20
Interns for: A magazine that writes about fashion and such.

Because I’m an editorial intern I get to boss around the other interns. I get them to do all the horrible stuff. My favourite bit of the job so far was when I got to source a whole 1950s outfit. That was good because that is how I usually dress. My job was basically to go shopping!

SUMI, 22
Interns for: An ethical company that does ethical stuff.

The worst thing about this job is standing in the rain collecting email addresses off total strangers. I did get to meet David Bowie once. He was nice and had a very effeminate voice.

Iona wears T-shirt by Religion, waistcoat by Mustang, shorts by Dickies and shoes by Vagabond

IONA, 19
Interns for: A magazine about art and fashion.

I grew up in the countryside so I enjoy riding horses and stuff like that. I’m still at university so being an intern is fun. I got to interview interesting people like Sam Kilcoyne, the teenage promoter. That was good. In the future I want to be a journalist.

JOHANNA, 22
Interns for: A company that deals in “media development”.

My job involves a lot of time typing things in boxes in Excel. I am very efficient at spreadsheets now. I get treated very well but getting up early is not fun. They start very early here. On Fridays we tend to all go out for lunch and then just drink all afternoon. That’s always great.

SARA, 24
Interns for: A graphic design publication.

This job entails spending lots of money on herbal teas. The bosses always complain that I brew too excessively. Outside of work I like headbanging to things like Led Zeppelin and dancing to fun R&B things. I do the wedding shuffle to R. Kelly.

Jo wears top by Fred Perry, shorts by TripleFiveSoul and tights by Jonathon Aston

JO, 23
Interns for: A design company.

My job means having to buy a lot of tall skinny lattes from the coffee place. So far, the worst thing I’ve had to work at was a “Miss Australia Day”. When I’m not working I like to listen to music. I like The Knife and The Hours. I’d like to go travelling soon.”

Ashley wears jumpsuit by Angel Adoree, leggings by Hooch and shoes by Vagabond

ASHLEY, 21
Interns for: A really famous fashion designer.

The worst thing I have to do is pinning boards way into the evening; those tired eyes and tiny pins. I also get a lot of exercise by running to Starbucks for grande lattes. In my free time I like to ride my bike. I’m really busy so I have my friends on a rotation system for opportunities to see them.
