This is an exciting opportunity for a UAL graduate with a background in Immersive Technology to do a 6-month full-time paid internship with Fashion Innovation Agency.
Fashion Innovation Agency (FIA) is a world-renowned team that works at the bleeding edge of emerging technology and is a guiding light for the industry. FIA is housed within Graduate Futures, Business and Innovation at London College of Fashion (LCF). FIA’s work sparks the imagination of creatives, executives, and entrepreneurs, building a pathway for new experiences, business models and job roles that are yet to exist. FIA consults for major luxury brands such as Burberry, Chanel, and Hugo Boss, as well as collaborating with technology companies such as Microsoft, Epic and Nvidia. FIA provides a key portal for knowledge exchange between industry and LCF.
We are seeking a talented and motivated Immersive Technology Intern with a strong passion for the intersection of 3D technology and fashion. The ideal candidate will work on cutting-edge projects that integrate game engine development, photogrammetry, 3D animation, motion capture, and digital fashion design. This internship offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the creation of immersive, interactive, and visually compelling experiences for the fashion industry using open-source and industry-standard tools. The chosen intern will gain practical hands-on experience and hone their technical skills under the supervision of an experienced team, and to see how these skills can be applied within ‘live’ industry projects. Through the internship the individual will build their knowledge, learn different approaches to collaborative business practice, innovation and will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team to achieve strategic goals.
