Employers typically expect a strong portfolio alongside your resume. Internships with New York brands during school are one of the most reliable ways to convert to a full-time role after graduation.

Which companies hire fashions in New York?

Employers hiring fashions in New York right now include Walmart, CHANEL, and Springs Window Fashions, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. New York's concentration of headquarters for global luxury, sportswear, and contemporary brands means hiring tends to be consistent year-round across both large corporations and independent design houses.

Which New York cities have the most fashion jobs?

New York, Niagara Falls, and Brooklyn have the most fashion job openings in New York. Manhattan dominates because the city's Garment District and Fifth Avenue retail corridor anchor the industry's design, production, and wholesale operations, while Brooklyn has grown as a hub for independent labels and creative studios, and surrounding metro areas reflect the distribution and logistics infrastructure that supports major brands.

How can I get hired as a fashion professional in New York with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is through an internship or assistant role at a New York brand, where PVH Corp, Tapestry, and department store groups like Macy's regularly run structured programs for early-career candidates. Styling assistant, production coordinator, and visual merchandising associate positions are common entry points that lead into core design or buying careers. A strong portfolio and a degree from FIT or Parsons gives candidates a concrete edge with New York hiring managers.
