| | rantnrave:// Stop the abuse. As fashion leaders issued public statements on HARVEY WEINSTEIN, the industry has its own silent abuses coming to light. Model and activist CAMERON RUSSELL invited models to recount experiences of sexual abuse while working in fashion, shared with her via INSTAGRAM and the hashtag #MyJobShouldNotIncludeAbuse. After the outpouring of stories sent to her, Russell posted messages to the industry and the press along with links to RAINN.ORG's 24/7 hotline and guides to understanding self-care. Weinstein's ties to fashion through his marriage (she's leaving) and industry relationships prompted public renouncement from both HOLLYWOOD and fashion. Yet the pattern of coercion, collusion among authority figures, and power ring eerily similar among victims working in both industries. What can be done? In fashion, casting director JAMES SCULLY has been a leading voice for models' rights, working with LVMH and KERING on the recently instated model charter. The team at BOF wrote that fashion's "don't ask, don't tell" policies are over. Is social media whistleblowing incentive enough for change? Will it take a fallout like that of Weinstein for the industry to take responsibility? What are the implications if models come forward by naming individuals, as models have in the past with TERRY RICHARDSON? THE MODEL ALLIANCE is a non-profit founded to promote change, fair treatment, and sustainable practices. Policy acts as one pillar. We should acknowledge the more nuanced and arguably more insidious values that find their way around policy—the shades of intimidation, coercion, and momentum that keep people silent.
