Collaro Classic Menswear is a retail startup founded by 2 SMU alumnis with the goal of making quality custom menswear accessible to the everyday man - men of all shapes and sizes. Having established both an offline and online presence, we provide a wide range of product lines at our studio while our online platform currently allows customers to purchase custom shirts.
We’re very proud that almost all our products are made in Singapore, and our vision is to sell to various international markets. With the support of SMU’s incubator programme, and having just been selected for Southeast Asia’s first of its kind “The Bridge Fashion Incubator” led by TaFf, we aim to accelerate our growth in the near future and build a global Singapore brand in the long term.
These are some of the key tasks you’ll tackle during your internship:
- Co-develop content strategy across all channels (social media, emailers, in-store) which will guide the photography and videography shoots
- Product shoots: Exercise your artistic direction while being generally aligned to our aesthetic (which we are open to discuss and make changes along the way)
- Portrait shoots: To kickstart a series of portrait shots featuring our products on our customers/models
- Videography: To experiment with creation of some video content
- To draft content (captions) for Facebook and Instagram page (~5 IG posts per week)
- Graphic design artwork creation: To complement the pictures you have taken with graphic design elements for use as collaterals across various channels
To breeze through this internship, you’ll need:
- Proficiency with indoor and outdoor photography (both product and portraits), photo editing (Photoshop/Illustrator), and some basic videography experience
- Your own photography gear, or if not, are familiar with the use of Nikon DSLR equipment
- An eye for detail; able to select pictures that align with Collaro’s aesthetic
- Hardworking, flexible and resourceful - able to work with limited resources and tap your network if need be
- Readiness to work in a startup environment, with a high level of initiative and drive
- To not have the mentality that because some tasks are not within your job scope, and therefore it should be someone else’s responsibility
- Interest in fashion retail is a big plus, more so if you’d like to be a part of a movement to influence more men to wear well-fitted clothes!
- Not worry about your qualifications, we value your work and ethics above everything else
What you can expect from your stint with us:
- Steep learning curve, where you will be challenged and expected to think on your feet
- Flexible working arrangement, to be discussed in greater detail during the interview
- No formal dress code, no fixed lunch hours, no issues with taking your assignments home on some days
- Monthly salary of $500-$600
- Open, no-politics environment to share your thoughts and exercise your creative direction, and in doing so, observe tangible results of your efforts
- Work directly with both co-founders, and receive guidance from them and their network
- Deep dive into fashion retail and classic menswear (with a heavy subsidy for the products we carry!)
