Burning Qs: Cash for Pads & Ashley Whatshername

I read how the Jonas Brothers' stylist brings their clothes to them. Do the stylists purchase the clothes, or are they loaned by designers, stores? Are the clothes returned? How is a stylist paid, by the hour? How is price determined?
 —MitchellBy my count, that's a quadruple-dip in the ol' Answer B!tch Salsa Bowl of Truth, you greedy little gnome. Here's what I can tell you: Stylists rarely buy the clothes their clients will wear. They either borrow them or take them as gifts with the blessing of the designer. Many big stores have "studio services" departments that offer clothing just for TV and movie appearances. As for the stylists themselves, they're usually paid a day rate. (link)
