The X Deal Queen


A barter is a method of exchange by which good or services are directly exchanged for other goods or services without involving money. In marketing and advertising, the term ex-deal (exchange deal) is used more commonly.  An ex-deal would require the agreement of both parties involved in the situation.  Celebrities who go to designers for an ex-deal would tell them outright that they will acknowledge designers instead of paying cash.  Of course, it is the discretion of the designer to accept or not.

A stylist who used to work for a make-up brand would normally go to junior designers for clothes. At the onset, she would not inform these junior designer that these clothes will be paid on an ex-deal basis. When these clothes have been delivered, she will refuse to give payments. Instead, she would tell the junior designers that they will be acknowledged in the magazines. The stylist would go on saying that the publicity should be enough payment for them since they are new in the business.

To all the starting junior designers, I suggest you stay away from this abusive X-deal Queen. Ask the senior designers who she is, I am sure they know her very well.

  2. it is hard to guess who this is bec there are so many stylists, self-proclaimed models, socialite-wannabe's who go to designers and beg for clothes... and payments are in the form of the ex deal schemes that u just mentioned... well, if they cant afford it, then they better stop attending events and parading themselves in those unpaid dresses...

  3. oh i can name many celebs even who go begging for x deals. New designers should not be so eager and fall for that trap. You have to ask what kind of publicity you are getting and get it on paper.

  6. These are very common now a days....some stylist will abuse the trust designers give them....one stylist barrowed a dress from a designer and told the designer that the dress will be shoot for a certain style magazine, but in reality it was use for a commercial and she returned the dress to the designer altered without paying the damages and never had returned to barrow......
