    You could probably find some internships. You could also work in stores such as Forever21 & WetSeal, but I don’t think they let minors work there.
    If you have great talent, and know how to design clothes (Designing tshirts, Sewing dresses, etc), you can find business in making them and selling them online. That’s probably very hard to manage though.

    I don’t know what else you can do. Millions of young girls are interested in fashion and would love a job where they can just give fashion advice to others.

    Cool! Well can you make stuff? If you can and you have a bit of money, visit etsy.com (I’m not positive if it has to have something before or after, or if it is a .net or something, but you can just google “Etsy”) Its a great program and you can sell your items.

    I would say, if you’re only thirteen, try practicing on fashion design.
    Sharpen your skills ’till you’re old enough to work.

    well if you like designing clothes but still really young you can sell some things you made on ebay?

    Why not make clothes for people you know/meet? (You would build up more custom by recommendation from these people.) Design and make clothes for them personally. All people are of different build, complexion, lifestyle, tastes, personality etc. Off the rack clothes don’t cater to everybody in all of these ways. Your niche could be to make clothes to suit individuals.

    Better than working in an “off-the-rack” clothing store or fixing coffee at a design house.

    Of course, you have to learn the skills and knowledge involved in design, maiking, fitting, fabric, colour, body types etc etc. But it would be good learn while doing it if you can start off simply and build on it. you probably won’t not successful starting off (depending on what you can already do now), so you would need to work on “guinea pigs” for no charge af first.
