Fashion designer slams ‘tacky’ Hollywood stars for trying to score free clothes: ‘They don’t like to pay’

I don’t expect anything less from celebrities especially nepo babies

I mean yeah, but I also haven’t ever seen a fashion brand that won’t exploit to hell and back any kind of informal pap photos or anything else of a celebrity wearing their gear. It does seem a long established bit of mutual benefits. Must’ve seen at least five articles this week on Jeremy Allen White getting a new hat.

Except they’re actually influencers who can make your brand

It’s called free advertising. It’s seen on celebrities and then purchased by the WAGs of c-suites. Welcome to the fashion industry, you must be new here. 

Not sure why she did this.

Celebrity exposure is a massive part of the fashion industry and it can move the needle for brands in a way that is unmatched by any other form of marketing.

But let’s just take that out of the equation-

Is there a reason Kelly could not have a formal, written manifesto for celebrities wearing her product that she shared with stylists who contacted her? No one is forced to let celebs borrow things for free, she wanted the exposure which is why she did it.

How is a stylist *asking* if their A list celeb can have free product so offensive that she’s still bitter about it a decade later?

That’s how the industry works and much of the time it’s not exploitative.

Is it cringe for wealthy celebs to ask for free stuff? Sure. Guess who else wants shit for free. Pretty much everybody.

Just as the a-list celebs had to grind to go from unknown to huge star, so do designers. It is what it is. Your market value starts at zero and you grow it through work.

I’d never heard of this woman until today but WOW her calling anything tacky is actually a compliment because her vision is seriously skewed. I’ve never seen anything tackier than her ‘athleisure’ line, her outfits and good lord her wedding. Oh my god are we on candid camera. I’m not even trying to be mean. Her clothing is offensive to the eyes and the soul.

Seems like she had a failed business and married a rich dude. I wonder who wanted her on a podcast? Anyway she just did serious damage to any future aspirations but I get the feeling she doesn’t have any.

Also worth noting she is a ‘proud republican’
