Description:
This internship is paid.
Maison Em is building a new kind of bridalwear experience, one that centers on ease, elegance, and self-expression for people who don’t see themselves in the traditional bridal space. We’re creating dresses for modern love stories: elopements, second weddings, intimate ceremonies, and everything in between.
We’re looking for a creative, hands-on fashion design intern to help explore new ideas and bring our early concepts to life. You don’t need bridal experience, just curiosity, creativity, and a strong eye for design and construction. This role focuses on experimentation, design development, and feasibility, helping to translate creative vision into something real, wearable, and effortless.

- Are detail-oriented, open to feedback, and excited to collaborate in a small, flexible environment
- Are interested in exploring how modern design can make bridal and formal wear feel more real, comfortable, and expressive
Bonus Experience:
- Basic Illustrator or CAD skills for flats or line drawings
- Experience with sustainable materials or creative reuse
- Knowledge of fit and construction for fluid or bias-cut garments
