I think it is bad manners to choose clothes to make content with that you will get paid for then send the items back if you are not actually working with the brand to showcase their clothes and it was already understood the clothes were a loan until the showcase video was completed.
With the actual purchase of clothes for an outfit video, it is fine to try them on like anyone else would without a camera rolling, but doing so while wearing fake tan and spraying heaps of perfume is unacceptable if you have zero intention of keeping the items.
Clothes may come in and out of Vic's closet with 2-3wears despite high end/luxury price tags and high quality fabrics from Net A Porter-esque brands, but for some, that item may be the only clothing items they but all year because they chose to go with a premium fashion house. For that reason the item should be perfect. Not needing to be washed (possibly by hand or even dry cleaned!!) before it can be worn, and strictly speaking washing starts degrading some fabrics so even if it is pre-cleaned back to pristine- some of the 'newness' is lost.
Am I over reacting?
I'm thinking of a £300 dress as an entire month of my disability benefits or nearly 2 months of work (occasional afternoons as a hospital pharmacist)
