Spotify Podcast: Model Alliance and Fashion in Progress between New York and Milan

New York Fashion Week, and Milan Fashion Week, spotlight new fashion collections but, also, new and recognized faces – the models who wear the clothing and help to create the glamorous lifestyle and aura that brands sell to their consumers. Not all modeling work is glamorous, however, especially if a model finds herself (or himself) at a disadvantage under the contract they have signed with their modeling management agency. To solve the incongruence and opaqueness of modeling contracts and the often problematic conditions in which models work and labor, organizations like @modelallianceny in New York and @fashion_inprogress in Milan, advocate, raise awareness, and also help to shape new legislation, like the Fashion Workers Act. In this episode, @saraziff , the founder and executive director of Model Alliance in New York City, with @ambrabgutierrez , vice-president and co-founder of Fashion in Progress in Milan and a board member of the Model Alliance, and with @alexiusdp , who is an Italian lawyer and Counsel at the LAWP firm in Milan, as well as the president and co-founder of Fashion in Progress in Milan. The conversation focuses on their fight for models’ rights in the fashion industry and the work of their organizations. (F. Caponigri – A Fashion law dinner Party)
