Job Post - Streetwear Startup Intern

What is a streetwear startup intern? To be confusing, let's start with the end:
Kryptik is working hard to be a recognised streetwear brand in a sea of creative successes and failures.
Being a London based fashion and streetwear label isn't easy. It means planning launch parties, photo shoots, social media campaigns, blogs, influencers and of course, designing clothing. That's a lot of things! And to be driven to do all of that and have fun along the way you need desire. You need to be passionate about streetwear and the drive to turn an idea into a reality.

The crucial component we look for in an intern is a desire to constantly improve. The ideal mindset for a kryptik intern is a growth mindset. This coupled with an entrepreneurial sharpness and a bit of enthusiasm is what we need to go to market (pssst we're very close too). If you think you know streetwear and have a knack that can help us grow as a start-up, then we invite you to apply for this role. I’m looking for an intern who will take initiative, bring ideas to me and does not need to be spoon-fed instructions. It takes hard work and dedication to get noticed in such a competitive and fast-moving market, do you think you can cut through the noise and make an impression?
