About #DAMUR

#DAMUR is a Berlin-based high-end streetwear label founded in 2015. We create gender-neutral fashion with bold cuts, upcycled materials, strong visual storytelling, and immersive runway formats connecting fashion, music, nightlife, sport, and culture.

Our collections have been shown during Berlin, Copenhagen, Paris, and Taipei Fashion Weeks. For SS27 and AW27 , we are looking for a hands-on Fashion Design Intern to support collection development, research, sampling, fittings, tech packs, and fashion-week preparation.

This is not an observing internship. You will work on real garments, real fittings, real deadlines, and real collection development.

What You’ll Do

• Research mood, market, materials, silhouettes, trims, and construction ideas
• Create sketches, flats, fabric / trim shortlists, and design development boards
• Support toiles, prototypes, samples, alterations, and fittings
• Draft or adjust patterns manually or digitally
• Prepare clear tech packs with measurements, BOMs, finishing notes, and construction details
• Track samples, deliveries, vendors, corrections, and fitting comments
• Support communication with makers and vendors in Germany, Poland, Taiwan, or other production locations
• Help organize fabric libraries, trims, samples, folders, file names, and version control
• Support runway showpieces, backstage sample management, and lookbook / line-sheet inputs

What Success Looks Like

30 days: Understand the #DAMUR design language, audit existing blocks / sample library, assist 2 fittings, prepare one mini tech pack, and follow file-naming standards.

60 days: Produce one toile or prototype from a brief, finalize one full tech pack with BOM and measurements, and shortlist 3 fabrics / 2 trims for development.

90 days: Prepare a 10–12 slide design deck showing concept, development, sample progress, learnings, and next steps.

3–6 months: Own one focused garment or small capsule from design development to pre-production handover, including pattern updates, spec sheet, fitting notes, and QC checklist.

Must-Haves

• Enrolled student in Fashion Design, Textile Design, Fashion Technology, or related
• Eligible for mandatory internship, Erasmus internship, or study-program internship
• Basic pattern cutting and sewing skills
• Confident with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
• CLO3D knowledge or strong willingness to learn fast
• macOS, Keynote, and Google Workspace
• Organized, detail-oriented, reliable, and able to meet deadlines
• Clear working-level English
• Legal right to intern in Germany without visa sponsorship

Nice-to-Haves

• German, Polish, Mandarin, or another relevant language
• CLO3D or Lectra (Modaris) or Gerber (AccuMark) or Optitex, or Assyst or grading basics
• Textile, fabric sourcing, or production knowledge
• Basic photography, retouching, Figma, or After Effects
• Interest in streetwear, upcycling, nightlife, performance, and runway experimentation

Not for You If

• You prefer theory over making
• You avoid fittings, corrections, or revisions
• You dislike measurements, checklists, deadlines, and technical details
• You only want to sketch but not support production
• You are not comfortable working hands-on with garments and samples

What You’ll Get

• Real ownership in a small international fashion company
• Hands-on experience in creative design, technical development, fittings, sampling, and production
• Insight into SS27 / AW27 collection development and fashion-week preparation
• Experience working across design, production, styling, runway, and brand operations
• Coaching access to senior partners, including business and strategy perspectives
• Daily warm homemade lunch, La Marzocco espresso, snacks and drinks
