Join the Team Behind the Fashion Week Experience
COLAFW is looking for passionate, creative, and savvy individuals — as well as those eager to learn — to help bring every part of our fashion ecosystem to life. From high-energy runway events and community activations to creative projects like our signature magazine, The COLAFW Experience, our work goes far beyond the runway.
We’re seeking creative thinkers, motivated doers, and fast learners with interest or experience in fashion event production, model coordinating, designer relations, beauty, event planning & décor, sponsorship coordination, marketing, content creation, editorial styling, magazine layout, journalism, and creative coordination.
If you love fashion, thrive in fast-paced environments, and want to contribute to something bold, collaborative, and unforgettable, we’d love to have you on our team. Bring your passion. Bring your perspective. Build your experience. Let’s create fashion magic — on and off the runway.
