Any college students or post-grads looking for valuable experience in the men's fashion or high-profile celebrity editorial environment will have a harder time now that Condé Nast has decided to end its internship program.

As a result of a class-action lawsuit started by two interns with the New York City-based publisher, the magazine company will allow their current program to run its course and then offer it no more. Condé Nast publishes Vanity Fair, GQ, Vogue, Glamour, W, the New Yorker, and more.

According to Women's Wear Daily, also a Condé Nast publication, the end of the company's internship program will go into effect at the start of 2014. Current interns will be unaffected and may finish their program.

According to the New York Times, the lawsuit began earlier this year when interns from W and the New Yorker filed a lawsuit against their employer for paying them less than $1 per day wage. Lauren Ballinger interned at the former during the summer of 2009 and Matthew Leib at the latter during the summers of 2009 and 2010. According to court documents, Leib was paid between $300 and $500 to work three days a week from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Just before the filing of this lawsuit, a Federal District Court in a separate case ruled that Fox Searchlight Pictures had violated New York minimum wage laws in a similar internship case. The two complainants worked on the set of "Black Swan" reportedly because they left their jobs to pursue film production.

U.S. Department of Labor guidelines for unpaid internships state, to be lawful, the program must be part of educational training, must not replace employees and that the company does not gain an immediate advantage from the intern's work.

Hearst Corporation also saw a similar lawsuit in Feb. 2012 when an intern at Harper's Bazar complained the company violated overtime and minimum wage laws.
