I don't have any connections, unfortunately, but I highly recommend joining LinkedIn (linkedin.com) to network. You have to create a profile and be approved, but it's pretty quick. It's regarded as one of the best internet-based networking sites, so it's worth looking into! It's free, and has search features where you can search by region and industry, keyword (for example, you could type in the name of a company you're interested in, or even simply "fashion"), and also what people are interested in (i.e., you can search people specifically interested in hiring people!).

You may also want to search for people affiliated with the Art Institute, or simply contact them and see if they'd be willing to refer you anywhere.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

I know nothing about the apparel industry, but Google does.

Google told me you might like these guys. Apparel Industry Board, Inc. Homepage

They have classifieds and contact info and all that.
