Senator Hoylman-Sigal, Models Rozi Levine + Camryn Herold, Content Creator Riri Bichri, Freelancers Union + Call on Albany to pass the Fashion Workers Act

NEW YORK, NY (04/10/2023) (readMedia)-- On Tuesday, Amazon Labor Union President Chris Smalls will join the Model Alliance to rally for the Fashion Workers Act, a piece of pro-labor legislation that would regulate predatory management agencies in New York that currently operate without oversight in the $2.5 trillion fashion industry. The group will be joined by bill sponsor Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal, models Rozi Levine, Camryn Herold and Kenny Sale, Content Creator Riri Bichri, Freelancers Union President Rafael Espinal, and dozens other models and creatives.

Fashion is big business in New York – Fashion Week alone generates close to $600 million in income each year for the State. And yet, the creative workforce behind the industry's success – models, content creators, stylists, makeup artists, hair stylists, and other creative artists – are not afforded basic labor protections in New York. The Fashion Workers Act – which last year passed the Senate Labor Committee – would close this loophole and create basic protections for fashion's creative workforce.
