Marc Jacobs doesn't have a problem with shelling out $1 million for his New York Fashion Week sets, but when it comes to the girls who walk on them? Not so much.

The designer used 17 year old Hailey Hasbrook as his "look" model for his fall show, which had her changing in and out of clothes from 6pm to as late (or early) as 4:30am.

After all was said and done, Hasbrook clocked upwards of 30+ hours as Jacobs' live mannequin and how did he repay her? With clothes.

We could see how some girls would be OK with that, but keeping a 17 year old until the wee hours of the morning is wrong.

If he has to pay his Louis Vuitton models in Paris, because it's the law, he should pay the ones he uses in the US too.

Plus, we all know Marc has the money. He's one of the highest paid designers in the industry for cryin' out loud!

What do U think about this???

Designer shopping bags are the new accessory craze???

Well, apparently in China and other parts of the world they are.

So instead of spending thousands of dollars on a Chanel purse or Louis Vuitton wallet, just carry around the bag it came in.

Many are selling their bags online, but the fad has grown so much that people are now selling imitation designer shopping bags in stores.

According to Chinese reports

Looks like Wal-Mart is going back to what it became best known for, cheap prices.

Sources close to their corporate offices reveal that Wal-Mart is taking action against its dollar store competitors.

In fact, they’ve reportedly started contacting their suppliers to talk about “opening price point" goods, aka the cheapest items in a category.

One long-time supplier reveals:

"The message is, 'Anybody who can deliver opening price point [goods] for us will become a vendor — anybody who can't, can leave.' Not since the 1990s have we seen Wal-Mart signal this level of competition on price."

Looks like Wal-Mart might soon be opening up to new manufacturers who can offer lower prices. Though they’ll also be hitting up some of their largest, big named suppliers to ask for more affordable packaged items.

And Wal-Mart is going full force this month letting their vendors know they’re serious about lower prices.

A manufacturing exec reveals:

"It's pretty unusual to have them calling you instead of the other way around. They told us, 'The dollar chains are eating our lunch, and we're not going to let them do that anymore.'"

Are U a Wal-Mart fan?

The title says it all, Vogue is cheap when it comes to paying models.

In legal documents filed by the three models who are suing Next modeling agency, Anna Jagodzinska's account summary shows Vogue Paris only paid her $125 for a days work while US Vogue shelled out a whopping $250.

Depending on what a "full day" is, and we're sure it was more than 8 hours, Anna made a little more than minimum wage.

Ridiculous!
