Why I Would Choose Commercial Work Over Editorials. Although Don't Get Me Wrong, They're A Whole Lotta Fun!

Have you ever wondered why your favorite model to follow is staying away from the latest pages of V-Magazine and instead opting for the catalog pages of Topshop? Well it's simple, it's all about the money honey. Commercial gigs pays so much morethan editorials. For instance would I be proud if I once again had the honor of walking a London Based designers collection during fashion week? Yes of course. But... would I be more enthused with my Bloomingdale's paycheck?

Thanks to Jezebel, the facts are put on paper for you kiddas. " The invoice, shown below, lists money balances to model Anna Jagodzinska, and happens to work perfectly as evidence in the case with models Jagodzinska, Anne Aleksandra Cywinska, and Karmen Pedaru’s against their agency "Next". The plaintiffs specify that they've been jilted over several hundred thousand dollars by the agency. Sounds not good kiddas.

According to reports, "Next, in return, sued the models’ new agency Ford, for poaching them while they were still under contract. Then, Ford countersued Next for poaching their bookers. Yes, this all really happened."

The point is.... even American Vogue, apparently with its Conde Nast cash, doesn't have enough to pay much to their models. As it appears in the invoice below, there's a list of Anna Jagodzinska’s bookings and what she’s still owed. Either way, some companies such as Vogue, usually are paying on a hourly rate. Where the likes of J.Crew and H&M rates are most likely for an entire's day of work or possibly a couple days. Below is a clearer indication of what some companies are all about!

Grey Paris (Advertising Agency with huge clients): $172,500
H&M: $60,000
American Vogue: $225
J.Crew: $50,000
Laird and Partners (Gap and tons of luxury brands): $35,000

I wouldn't mind being hired by J.Crew for their next season's catalog collection. I'm just saying...
