Some designers - though it’s rare - still ask stylists for a credit card in advance to guard against something like this. But if you’re a smaller designer and it’s a great opportunity for exposure, you likely wouldn’t. Sucks for him, and people shouldn’t be blaming or attacking him. He got screwed by a careless…

These are all really great points. And I think it underscores that designers (and anyone else involved in a shoot, for that matter) need to look out for themselves and utilize contracts (for what happens if the garment is damaged on return, inclusive of payment terms—among other things). I think far too many are…

I wish I’d seen your post before I commented, you basically summed it all up.

It sounds like her personal stylist pulled the look from the designer.

Re: the bikini: The designer should be take this up with the Ciroc team, or the ad/production agency who owned the shoot. Just send them an invoice (and, lesson learned, don’t lend clothing for paid ad campaigns—they should buy that shit!). Ashanti didn’t pull the bikini for personal use or even one of her own…
