Does W magazine not pay its models? That’s the assertion made by writer Leslie Kelly, who, in an essay appearing in today’s Seattle Post-Intelligencer, asserts that her then 14-year-old daughter Claire, left, never saw a cent after appearing in a story about designer Pat Kerr [Who? -Ed.] in the January ’06 issue of the magazine. Not that she’s complaining! “Claire was 14 and wearing an antique lace wedding dress,” writes Kelly. “Talk about your classic plucked-from-obscurity story.” We’ll say! Kelly continues: “…Models just starting out can expect to make somewhere between $200 and $700 for a day’s work… [But] when you are photographed for editorial, like for the pages of W or Justine, there’s no pay involved at all, just the incredible exposure and an impressive page for your book.” Or an impressive story?
