Editorials like Vogue etc. don't pay anything. the models GET to be in the magazine.. so they don't get paid. Italian Vogue never pays for flights, ie. if the shoot is in ny and the girl is in europe or la etc. even for top models, the girls pay their own flights for italian vogue. Some magazines, Elle, Marie Claire will sometimes pay the girl two hundred dollars, and then it all goes to the agency expenses. The girls are responsable for their own expenses, which makes sense, but a lot of agencies add extra expenses that never happened, so the girls have to watch it. Catalogues do pay a lot, bloomingdales etc can pay upwards of 10,000 dollars a day. But keep in mind that girls dont do catalogues every day. Most days they just do castings, and then fly themselves to europe to do an editorial, so they dont see a lot of money early on. ususally. some campaignes dont even pay that much.. i hear that versace pays only a few thousand dollars, which seems like a lot, but if girls are onlyh doing editorials, they need this to live on, and it isnt enough. also the girls faces are everywhere... they should be paid for it. For shows, in new york, most just give the girls some clothes, and thats it. There are only a few shows in ny that pay in money. in milan, girls can make a lot in a show week, a thousand per show, a few hundred per show, it adds up. but they have to pay their own flight their own hotel, driver, etc... paris agencies take 66% of everything they make, because france's taxes are quite high, so the agency legally has to take out their taxes before they get the money, and then they also take a commission to make money.. so all in all, most models do not make that much money. the majority of the girls that are discussed on this forum do make a living, but theyre not living in penthouse apartments and driving around in limos. they know this is a short career and need to save their money. the magazines make so much money in advertising, and they dont pay any of us, hairstylists, makeup artists photographers and models. magazines like surface, the face, id, etc. dont even pay for photographer's costs for developing flim. basically, girls have to scrape by on agency advnaces... (money they give like an allowance each week, but the girl does have to pay them back when they get jobs)...
Most of the high profile campaignes do pay money... a few thousand each day, and like prada, takes 5 days to shoot. some pay upwards of 20,000 dollars for the usage of the pictures. but there are so many models out there that dont get these jobs...
thanks so much! 
And I couldn't do anything. 
that really sucks, I wonder if lawsuits could be filed to keep stuff like this from happening
