Fashion Model Question:

Unfortunately models are not frequently given clothes from their modeling jobs. It is not rare for the value of clothing used in a shoot to go outside the amount paid to the models. In photos and fashion shows the clothes featured are often pre-production samples which will be used by other sales and advertising people to show probable buyers. In several cases, a model may buy the clothes at the wholesale price. Infrequently a model may be offered a deal; you model for them/ they pay you with clothing you select equal in retail price to model fees that would have been paid to you.
