According to the BBC News, fashion designer Niklas J. Palm has filed a 
lawsuit against actress Melanie Griffith for allegedly refusing to pay for a dress that she wore during the Golden Globes. Supposedly she also agreed to mention his name and give him publicity when asked who she was wearing, of which she did not do either.
Unless he had a signed contract from Melanie Griffith saying she would give him the publicity, I don't think that is going to hold up in court. Granted, she does need to pay for the dress - she did wear the thing! Maybe if he had just given her the dress, I'm sure she would have mentioned his name. But then, I don't know Ms. Griffith. She could be a liar for all I know!
My #1 rule in the fashion business - make the client pay first before they wear something!
