A great new competition will give one lucky entrant the opportunity to work in the fashion industry.

The competition will also afford an insight into the machinations of television, thanks to MTV. The opportunity is presented by Grazia Magazine who has teamed up with Armani Exchange to celebrate the launch of the new MTV series of The City, which will air on Saturday nights at 9pm.

One lucky contestant will be given the chance to undertake a three-week internship in the British capital, and all that is required is a passion for fashion, excellent communication skills and a good dose of self confidence.

The winner will also be able to enjoy a week at offices of Grazia magazine, where they will shadow the fashion team to see just how the magazine is run and put together. In the second week of the internship, the lucky winner will see what goes on behind the scenes at the iconic MTV network, while the third week will be spent with the marketing and press teams at Armani Exchange. Not only will the winner walk away with a valuable insight into the world of fashion, but also have the chance to network with the industry’s top dogs and make a host of key contacts that could lead to a career in fashion.

To enter, simply drop into any Armani Exchange store and pick up an entry card, which has the full terms and conditions on it. On the back, write down in one sentence why you should be chosen and you could soon be rubbing shoulders with the fashion industry’s elite.

Off-the-wall singer Lady Gaga will soon be making her own wacky outfits as she signs up to a summer fashion internship. The ‘Poker Face’ pop star, who is known for her weird and wonderful dress sense as much as her catchy dance tunes, will be taken under the wing of Irish hat designer Phillip Treacy.

Treacy, who is commonly believed to be one of the best headwear makers of the 20th century, has promised to teach the American songstress everything he knows. The fashion designer is well already acquainted with Gaga’s unique style, having made several headpieces for her in the past, including a velvet telephone and a silver lightning bolt.

Lady Gaga is known throughout the fashion world as a woman not afraid to experiment. Never seen out in public in anything but the most immaculate outfits, the 24 year old artist is a fan of heavy, cheek-sweeping eye make-up and bone-crushingly tight Lycra togs. She also claims that fashion is the muse behind many of her songs and performances.

Miss Gaga admits that she goes for the ‘extreme’ rather than the ‘sexy’ on stage, with masks, fake blood and electronic moving outfits favoured above slinky dresses and mini-skirts. But who knows whether she will be successful enough in her new internship to wear some of her own creations on stage? If so, it will certainly be hats off to Lady Gaga.
