Popular fashion designer, Veekee James, has offered words of advice to aspiring and upcoming fashion designers on running their brands.
She wrote, "I don’t know anything about the issue going around on social media so I can’t really speak on it! Here’s my advise as someone who has been there done
that."James told upcoming designers to
avoid being put in a position where a client makes them choose between being
paid for their work or being tagged in a social media post for recognition.

"Once anyone comes to you with
the ‘Do you want money or tag’ phrase, You better run! I’ve had so many of your
faves, both in this country and abroad, use that phrase with me and that was
it! Today some of these people will give anything to be in my piece! No cap. It
just shows no respect or regard for your brand! Once you allow that, it
confirms the fact that your brand has no value whatsoever!" she warned.
The designer advised other designers
to ensure that the values of their brands are crystal clear to celebs.
"Be wise! Don’t let money come
first before the important things! Sacrifice in business is a must! As long as
you have made glaring the values of your brand, be ready to collaborate
sometimes only with celebs who respect you as well! Never forget that it’s a
win win for you and the celeb! No one is doing you a favour!"
She emphasised on the importance of
standing on one's faith and also advised them not to always expect publicity
from celebrity clients.
"Don’t be desperate to be known
through a person! You must know that only God is the LIFTER of Men! He will use
only the people He chooses to lift you! Don’t try to do what only God can do
for your brand! Don’t expect publicity from every celebrity and make desperate
decisions without thinking!" she
said.
The celebrity designer added, "If
you want to be a fashion designer, go and research the true meaning of being a
designer! So that you don’t end up being a tailor parading him or herself as a
designer! If you are a designer, do the work of a designer!"
