Beauty and image professionals: are your rights protected backstage in fashion?

Behind the scenes of fashion, the brilliance of catwalks and advertising campaigns is only possible thanks to the technical and artistic work of many professionals, such as makeup artists, hairdressers and nail specialists. Despite being essential, many of these professionals still work without legal support, which can lead to insecurity, non-compliance with agreements and even the improper use of their image or work.

The provision of services in fashion, even behind the scenes, must be protected by a formal contract. A well-drafted service provision contract protects both parties, clearly defines the obligations of the contracting party and the contracted party, and establishes clauses on deadlines, values, copyright, confidentiality and even civil liability in case of damages.

Another fundamental point is the issue of the use of the image. Often, professionals appear in behind-the-scenes content, social networks or commercial publications, and this has not always been previously authorized. Including clauses on the use of the image and artistic work is essential to avoid abuse.

Furthermore, the contract may provide for specific working conditions: schedules, locations, sanitary conditions and even technical requirements. This strengthens the professionalism of the work and values ​​the category.

In Fashion Law, the work of these professionals is seen strategically. Having legal advice from the beginning of the relationship with brands, agencies or event organizers is a way to position yourself in the market with security and professionalism.

The fashion backstage can be glamorous, but it requires a solid legal structure to operate with ethics, clarity and mutual respect.
