Help my friend find a job in a fashion/clothing company in London

My friend (female) is looking for a job in London in fashion/clothing industry---not as a shop assistant, but rather as a content creator, set designer, etc. Any obvious companies out there in London? Also, what would be considered as standard requirements for such positions?

In case of magazines, what do ones like Vogue UK look for in a prospective employee?

Finally, how to best present oneself, if all she's got is genuine passion (for years she's been collecting fashion magazines, composing her own sets out of things cut out from them, she remembers designers' collections from the past) and 1st hon. Masters in totally unrelated Archaeology?

Any thoughts appreciated!

Having worked at clothing companies (in the US), without any training, her best bet would be to try to do an unpaid internship. However, there will be students with some training also competing for those unpaid internships.
