Pros

The talented and hardworking employees.

Cons

Management, particularly the CEO, has no idea what they (he) are doing. The company is lucky the Weinstein company is basically keeping the company afloat. They do not have any money to pay their vendors and luckily there was no issue with paychecks. It is true (from previous reviews) the word around the industry the company is going under - and fast. There is no standard for the way they do things, the CEO is very unprofessional and you never knew what kind of mood he would be in until he would be storming around the office just yelling at people. He grabs things out of your hand and there have been people from other companies who refuse to work with him. Not one person in the company likes him and for obvious reasons. They need HR to help them get a better hiring system in place and on-boarding system to go through training with new hires. Also, they have lied to new employees coming in to interview and when starting the job - nothing they told them was true. This is the worst job I have ever had and the experience was degrading and I advise never to work here - unless new CEO is hired.

Pros

The design team is incredibly talented and deeply committed to craftsmanship, offering a rare opportunity to witness luxury fashion at the highest level. Hands-on experience with couture-level fabrics, embroidery, and patternmaking. Exposure to all stages of the design process, from concept sketching to final runway presentation. The brand aesthetic is iconic – working here strengthens your portfolio and professional credibility. Opportunities to contribute to real projects if you show initiative and skill.

Cons

Long hours are expected, especially around Fashion Week, with minimal compensation for interns. The pace is intense and expectations are high, which can be overwhelming without strong self-management skills. Not a lot of formal training; you’re expected to learn quickly on the job. Communication can sometimes be top-down and fast-paced, leaving little room for feedback.
