And how does this relate to the grand editorial fees for models at Vogue, where they get like on the order of $300 while the photographer gets, what, 100-1000 x that amount for the same photo shoot.
This is what disgusted me about the actitude of people in the fashion industry "if you don't want to work, there's a lot people behind you that would kill for what you doing" Seriously, this can't happen anymore. The models sometimes have to left studies to work and get pay. Money Jacobs, they not eat clothes.
And yes, sometimes (sometimes) this sacrifices have fruits, but you need to consider that the models (specially in Marc J. castings) are almost children. The parents are guilty too, they need to demand more.
maybe because the photographer actually makes the photograph happen?
those girls starting out in the industry know that when they do a show for a very big designer and put it on their resume, or walk into a casting wearing designer clothes, people will think more of her ability then if she walked for some non high fashion brand for 10,000 a day. so if the model is set to be a high fashion model and work on getting very high profile and high paying gigs, there are some things she needs to suck in along the way.
why designers prefer to pay in trade than in cash? because it is a business, and if they can do it, they will. everyone is on a budget. even if your past 10 collections have been super successful, you don't know whether the next one will.
no one forces models or anyone else freelancing to do a job. don't compare it to wages, because this is not a job. if models want a stable job, then can go get one. for every model who complains about it, there will be 100 who will be happy to do it.
Modeling is a job. To say it's not a real job implies that's it's just a fun hobby that these girls and women like to do in their free time. But many models put in a lot of hard work and sacrifice with no guarantee that it will pay off in the end. Just because there are models out there willing to work long hours for trade or little money doesn't mean it should be allowed.
Of course businesses are going to try to get away with giving those they employ as little as possible while also asking as much as possible from them. That's why in many other industries labor laws are enforced and they are regulated.
Marc Jacobs is not a small time business owner trying to make ends meet, his company can easily afford to pay a looks model a fair wage, especially considering they were able to do it the season before.

I don't think anyone is arguing that a model should complain publicly or even to the company about what kind of payment they get from a job, since most are not in a position to do that without it effecting their careers. It should also be pointed out that Hailey wasn't complaining when she was writing about being paid in trade, she was apparently quite happy about the experience overall.I disagree with that. and I work in this industry and those same rules apply to me. if I am offered a gig that does not pay in cash, I can take it or leave it. if I take it, it is because I have decided that it will somehow contribute to my marketing edge, and also because I know that if I am remotely good at what I do, I will get plenty of paying gigs.
seriously, do you think that anyone who works in an industry where they can potentially (even if they are far from being a top face) make in one day a lot more money than most people make in a month has any right to complain? i don't.
not to mention that it is very unprofessional to accept the terms of a gig and complain about it after...
i think hailey was complaining but just retracted when she realized how damaging it was for her career...
In response to the above, why can't they criticze and complain about what happens in the industry? i think hailey was complaining but just retracted when she realized how damaging it was for her career...
please. nobody "has to" do anything. people make choices. in this case models and their parents make the choice that it is worth taking the risk of delaying school and whatever to try modelling, in case they hit the jackpot.
ITA.I don't think its really fair to put all of this on Marc. Marc does it for the same reason everyone else does: its an openly accepted policy in the fashion industry. Its extremely common in editorials and runway.
If people want to fix it, picking on one house isn't the way to do it.
