The Model Alliance has presented its respect program to LVMH and Kering executives.
The Model Alliance founder and executive director Sara Ziff on Friday met in Paris with the French Minister of Gender Equality Marlene Schiappa and representatives from LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, Kering, Chanel and other brands to discuss fashion’s human trafficking problem.
The focus on European fashion houses follows more than a year of trying to get American brands to commit to the program. A Model Alliance spokeswoman said Friday the group “is in negotiations with several companies.” She declined to pinpoint how many have committed thus far. Most working and aspiring models who fall victim to trafficking or abuse are unaware of their rights, or what to do when exploitation occurs, according to Ziff. Many models are afraid of retaliation when deciding whether or not to report abuse. The alliance believes the Respect program could create a safe and fair work environment.
Regarding the timing of the European initiative, the alliance’s material referenced how the Jeffrey Epstein case “brought to light the problem of trafficking in the modeling industry, and highlighted how the issue is not only domestic but across borders.”
