Celebrating 8 Years of Climate Action and Launching the First Model Mentorship Program · Luma

​Since its inception Model Mafia is committed to investing in model leadership and affirming the skills, opportunities and inventive work that fashion models bring to both front and back of the camera to help build culture. We know that with our collective strength, we can take powerful climate action, particularly through strategic communications and raising ambition within our industry. We can help make the world more just and sustainable.

​From participating in marches and rallies to the #SupplyChange campaign against deforestation, organizing clothing swaps, book clubs and film screenings, to raising money for frontline communities resisting climate chaos, we are coming together to celebrate our ability to organize in unexpected places and support each other’s visions for a more caring present and future.
