In luxury, there’s no substitute for experience. You can study the history of haute couture, analyze the evolution of branding, even learn how to pronounce “hermès” correctly. But nothing compares to the moment you step into a designer showroom, interact with real clients, and witness a brand’s magic unfold in real time. That’s where careers take off. And this is exactly where The School of Luxury Retail makes all the difference.
In this blog, we will explore how internships serve as a vital entry point into the luxury industry, how The School of Luxury Retail integrates these real world experiences into its curriculum, and why that practical exposure can be the make or break factor in launching your career. Whether you dream of managing fashion houses, creating digital campaigns for luxury labels, or building experiential stores, internships are where your instincts are tested and trusted.
The luxury world is fast-paced, detailed, and incredibly precise. From how a product is displayed to the way a story is told, everything matters. Brands like Zoya, Christian Louboutin, and Masque aren’t just looking for talent. They’re looking for presence, poise, and sharp thinking. And while classroom learning gives you the knowledge, it’s internships that build your instinct and intuition. That’s why TSOLR has designed one of the most immersive and hands-on luxury brand programs in India, where students don’t just listen and learn, they step into the real world and start doing the work.

The Bachelor’s in Luxury Brand and Retail Management (LBRM) at The School of Luxury Retail isn’t just a degree. It’s a stepping stone. Internships are woven directly into the curriculum, giving students the chance to work with luxury fashion houses, gourmet brands, premium auto giants, and heritage institutions both in India and abroad. Whether you’re building a social media strategy for a niche fragrance label or helping curate an experience for an international jewelry brand, you’re doing the kind of work that puts you ahead of the game.
One of the best parts of these internships? They often lead to job offers. Luxury brands use internships to scout talent. If you prove yourself during this time, chances are you’ll be invited to stay on full-time across marketing, strategy, merchandising, or even creative.
The School of Luxury Retail has strong industry ties, students aren’t just applying cold. They’re coming in through trusted channels.
It’s worth saying out loud, breaking into luxury is not easy. These brands are careful about who they bring into their inner circles. Internships are often the only way to show you belong in those spaces. They let you prove that you understand the culture, the expectations, and the level of detail luxury demands.
During the first three years, students are based in Mumbai, India’s beating heart of luxury, finance, and entertainment. Students get out of the classroom and into real-world settings through retail safaris, brand visits, and hands-on sessions with top names in the industry. They also attend masterclasses from leaders like Anjali Gaekwar, Akash Sheth, and Aditi Dugar, giving them a front-row view into how the luxury business actually works.
One of the most exciting parts of these internships is that many of them lead to job offers. Luxury brands often use these roles to scout talent. If a student proves themselves during this time, they’re often invited to stay on in full-time.
After interning with a luxury brand, a whole world of exciting career paths opens up. You might find yourself managing a brand’s image, curating their social media presence, or working directly with high-end clients in retail or client relations. Some go on to become visual merchandisers, helping stores tell beautiful stories through design, while others dive into event planning, PR, or styling. If you’re more business-focused, you could explore roles in buying, market research, or strategy. What’s great is that these internships often turn into job offers because you’ve already proven you understand the brand, the pace, and the attention to detail the industry expects.
So whether you’re someone who dreams in fabric swatches or finds meaning in minimalist design, interning with a luxury brand will push your boundaries in the best way possible. It puts you in rooms you never imagined, teaches you to trust your instincts, and connects you with people who can take your career further than you thought.
And with The School of Luxury Retail by your side, you’re not doing it alone. You’re walking in prepared, with the skills, the training, and the experience to thrive in the world’s most competitive and creative industry.
Because in luxury, it’s not just about getting your foot in the door. It’s about learning how to own the room once you’re in.
