U.K.-based fashion creatives are not benefiting from the industry’s economic success, with the majority struggling financially and late payments commonplace, according to a new survey conducted by BECTU, Broadcasting Entertainment Communications and Theatre Union, and its fashion branch Fashion UK.
The research also showed that only one in 10 fashion creatives said they feel secure in their job. Some 51 percent of surveyed fashion creatives are earning under 30,000 pounds a year before tax from their work in the industry, and eight in 10 said they have felt pressured to work for free.One freelance fashion assistant told the survey: “I’ve had shoes thrown at me, been told certain expenses will be covered, and then had the client refuse to pay them.
Founded in 1991, BECTU represents more than 40,000 workers in creative industries including broadcasting, cinema, film, digital media, independent production, leisure, IT and telecoms, theater and the arts in the U.K.
