I\u2019ve had so many of your faves, both in this country and abroad, use that phrase with me and that was it! Today some of these people will give anything to be in my piece! No cap. It just shows no respect or regard for your brand! Once you allow that, it confirms the fact that your brand has no value whatsoever!&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Veekee James stressed the importance of clearly defining <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;opi=89978449&amp;url=https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brand&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjpyqqWxo-GAxUwWEEAHRBFCw4QFnoECD0QAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw25c4VcwJXzY-i-GfrwDqU5\">brand<\/a> values and being selective when collaborating with celebrities. She advised:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong><em>Be wise! Don\u2019t let money come first before the important things! Sacrifice in business is a must! As long as you have made glaring the values of your brand, be ready to collaborate sometimes only with celebs who respect you as well! Never forget that it\u2019s a win win for you and the celeb! No one is doing you a favour!&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>She also emphasized the power of faith and discouraged designers from relying solely on celebrity clients for publicity. She said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong><em>Don\u2019t be desperate to be known through a person! You must know that only God is the LIFTER of Men! He will use only the people He chooses to lift you! Don\u2019t try to do what only God can do for your brand! Don\u2019t expect publicity from every celebrity and make desperate decisions without thinking!&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Finally, Veekee James urged designers to understand the true essence of being a designer, she said:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;If you want to be a fashion designer, go and research the true meaning of being a designer!
