<h1>Fashion creator sues agency for refund and damages after visa denial left them with unrecoverable festival expenses</h1> A luxury fashion creator reports paying substantial sums to an agency and vendors for festival participation but was unable to attend due to visa denial, causing significant unrecoverable expenses and team losses. Legal issues include contract terms with the agency (refund, cancellation, and fee allocation), potential misrepresentation or failure to obtain promised services, vendor payment disputes, and recourse against the agency for negligent handling of visa procedures. Remedies may involve contractual claims, consumer-protection or trade-practice complaints, and insurance recovery if travel/participation policies were in place; documentation of payments and communications will be critical.
