Summer Internships
TC Graduate Students Have Varied Summer 2008 Internships
Yuan Wen (Sabrina) Zeng, graduating Master's student in Textiles and Clothing, interned in New York City with Versace USA, INC., where she focused on wholesale and merchandising. As an intern, she was exposed to the inner-workings of a luxury fashion house and given the opportunity to learn about the wholesale business of a global brand. Sabrina assisted the US wholesale menswear team in presenting the Versace Collection, analyzed weekly sales data to monitor overall seasonal retail performance, and designed seasonal merchandising materials and product presentations. Before this internship, she had experience in retail buying and planning through a previous position as an assistant buyer for the Eland Fashion (Shanghai) Co. and a retail buying/planning internship with Kenneth Cole Production while at ISU. This internship was very hands on, faced-paced, and interactive with the team at Versace USA.
