Two Sides of the Fashion Coin (Part 3)
Now, you may be wondering, “what if the designer takes it too far or are too rude for you to handle?” It’s a simple solution really- terminate your contract and return all money and products/merchandise to that designer. We all have to make tough calls in our life and we all have our limit on the type of personality we are willing to work with. It is your right. No one is forcing you to work with that person. You signed that contract yourself and you have the right to end it and return the items and money that was given to you in return for your services, which you could not provide because of the situation. If you’re thinking of keeping any of it, don’t. You may be saying, “Well they were complete assholes to me so I deserve this for pain and suffering.” Get over it and give it up. This may sound harsh but you do not want to have anything used against you and keeping merchandise and money for a job that you never finished or went through with doesn’t paint you in the prettiest of pictures.
So return the things, send a professionally written notecard detailing why you are terminating your services and wish that person well while keeping a copy of that on file for yourself as well. I would also note that you write the time, date, and your name in that notecard and make it no modify and no transfer when you give it to them. That way you are assured that they haven’t tampered with it. If you signed up through an agency for that job, tell your agency about the situation and give them a copy of that letter immediately for their files as well. You always want to make sure your bases are covered. [Smiles] Tell your agency or agencies and let it be the end of it. Dragging it out will only make it sound that much more ridiculous and it will soon get on everyone’s nerves. Also, if that particular designer wants to try to smear your name and reputation, not showing any reaction whatsoever to their attempts just makes it look worse for them, not you. It’s like a child throwing a tantrum- the more attention you give, the more they will act up.
