Dear D. Glod:

At age eight, I started sewing clothes for all my dolls. Two years ago, I started my own street style blog. My love for all things fashion has been a constant in my life, and when I discovered the fashion internship with XYZ Company on Chegg Internships, I knew it was a match made in sartorial heaven. As a junior majoring in fashion merchandising at University College, I am passionate about creating and executing original designs. As your fashion intern, I’ll bring the following:

Leadership experience. As the president of Fashion and Business, a campus-wide club dedicated to merging creative design and business basics, I produce an annual fashion show with over 30 models and 250 attendees.
Design coursework. I have a 3.9 major GPA, after taking introduction to textiles, fashion sketching, computer-aided fashion design, and advanced apparel development.
Creative portfolio. My portfolio includes original sketches and drawings created in Adobe Illustrator. It can be viewed by visiting dakotatailor@design.com.

I am eager to support XYZ Company’s work as I grow into a bold designer. I truly believe that fashion can change the world, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Dakota Tailor

Dear D. Glod:

At age eight, I started sewing clothes for all my dolls. Two years ago, I started my own street style blog. Last year, I graduated from college at College University and began an internship with Kelly Clothes, Inc. My love for all things fashion has been a constant in my life, and when I discovered the junior apparel product development job at XYZ Company, I knew it was a match made in sartorial heaven. As your product development assistant, I’ll bring the following:

Fashion expertise. At my internship, I support the PD team with a variety of tasks, including managing our fabric library, conducting market analyses, updating internal systems, and conducting research on external trends. I maintain relationships with 25+ vendors and obtained pricing from factory partners that was 7% below average last month.
Leadership experience. At school, I founded Fashion and Business, a campus-wide club dedicated to merging creative design and business basics. Each year, I produced an annual fashion show with over 30 models and 250 attendees.

Tips on How to Write Your Fashion Cover Letter

Now that you’re inspired, here are our top tips before you write your own cover letter:

Don’t rewrite your resume—tell a story and share your passion.
Nothing will get you eliminated from the application pool faster than typos.
Address your cover letter to a specific person, with their full name and preferred pronoun.
Numbers and details are your friend. Speak to what you did and why it matters.
Name dropping pays off, so mention anyone you know at the company.
It’s not all about you. Focus on how you’ll add value for the employer.
