We're looking for a Product Styling Intern to support our e-commerce photo studio and Art Team during Fall 2026.
This is a hands-on, in-person role that blends day-to-day studio execution with real exposure to styling and creative direction. You'll help keep our studio running smoothly - from preparing product for shoots to maintaining an organized, efficient workspace - while also contributing to styling decisions, trend research, and independent projects.
You'll be embedded within the Proper Cloth Art Team and gain a full picture of how a modern menswear brand executes high-volume, detail-oriented product photography, from wardrobe prep through final on-set styling. This role is ideal for someone who wants equal parts creative and behind-the-scenes experience — someone who's as energized by being well-organized as they are by a well-styled shot.
