The Model Alliance (MA) is a not-for-profit labor group for models working in the American fashion industry. Models have an industry voice through the MA.
The Model Alliance believes that models deserve fair treatment in their workplace, and we aim to establish ethical standards that bring real and lasting change to the fashion industry as a whole. We seek to improve the American modeling industry by empowering the models themselves, and we do so by identifing the unique needs of working models in the U.S. and address those needs through expert and confidential support; Educating models and the public about labor abuses in the modeling and fashion industries, and provide a forum that allows models to share their experiences, voice their concerns, and build a community; Organizing models to establish basic rights and protections in their workplace that will enhance the health and vitality of the American fashion industry as a whole.
