Fair Treatment. Equal Opportunity. Sustainable Practices.
A new model for fashion.
The Model Alliance is proud to launch our campaign to raise awareness for the Adult Survivors Act, a New York State law that creates a one-time, one-year look back window for adult sexual assault survivors who are outside the statute of limitations to pursue justice.
About us
The Model Alliance is a New York-based 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
Through strategic research, policy initiatives, and campaigns, the Model Alliance aims to promote fair treatment, equal opportunity, and more sustainable practices in the fashion industry, from the runway to the factory floor.
Resources
Model Alliance Support
Fashion workers, we’re here to help. Through MA Support, we assist working and aspiring models and creatives with complaints about inappropriate on-the-job conduct, agent issues, and other work-related problems.
Unemployment
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we published a tailored guide for models who are seeking information about how to file an unemployment insurance claim. We have included information relevant to New York, California, and Florida, as these are the states where most models in our community are based.
Modeling Scams
Unfortunately, young and aspiring models are often the targets of modeling scams that are potentially dangerous. We have created a guide detailing the most common warning signs of modeling scams and advice for staying safe.
A little RESPECT goes a long way. Join us.
Born of the direct experience and unique understanding that models have of the industry, the RESPECT Program will set a new global industry standard. The program is designed to enable a working environment in which creative collaboration and self-expression flourishes, and everyone can work without fear of harassment, abuse, discrimination or violence.
