By assisting models and other stakeholders in understanding the laws applicable to them, and by encouraging them to have a voice in their work, the Model Alliance identifies common areas of concern in the fashion industry, conducts strategic research with leading research institutions to inform policy initiatives, and educates the industry and the public about our core issues.

Model Alliance is a New York-based 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

Vision
“Surely one of the great ironies of the modern world is that democracy, imperfect as it is in the political realm, seldom extends to the workplace.”- George Cheney

The Model Alliance has a broad vision for labor solidarity. We believe the fashion community occupies a power platform to campaign for transformative change. To effect change, however, people working in the industry need to have a voice in their work. That “voice” can take many forms, from industry surveys to committees and campaigns.

As the faces of the fashion industry, models are in a unique and powerful position to inject a new labor consciousness into fashion—one that encourages fair treatment, equal opportunity, and more sustainable practices in this highly influential, global industry. By organizing a dynamic group of models, industry stakeholders, and academics, we aim to foster a mutually supportive eco-system of industry leaders who will harness their distinct strengths to promote greater transparency and accountability in the fashion industry, both at home and abroad.   

Together, we can improve the fashion industry from the runway to the factory floor.
