The landmark #FashionWorkersAct will regulate modeling agencies for the first time.

“Many of the issues that we work to address are issues that I experienced firsthand," says Sara Ziff, founder of @modelallianceny.bsky.social and this week's Agent of Impact.

Worker Council members shared their experiences and why the #FashionWorkersAct is meaningful to them.

Teen Vogue style director Alyssa Hardy and our executive director Sara Ziff then led a fireside chat about the significance of the #FashionWorkersAct and the work ahead.

This week, the Model Alliance community came together to celebrate the passage of the #FashionWorkersAct, our signature law that will establish essential rights and protections for models working in New York's fashion industry beginning this June.

We invited members of our Worker Council to reflect on their journey campaigning for the #FashionWorkersAct — and to share what they hope it will mean for the future.
