First Sustainable and Ethical Models Academy and Agency launched by the World Sustainability Organization
Milan Fashion Week 2021 is the best time to transform modeling and fashion in a greener and more ethical way
On the occasion of Milan Fashion Week 2021, the World Sustainability Organization, in the context of its Sustainable Fashion initiatives, launches its new WSO Models Academy and Agency for ethical and sustainable modeling. Last year Friend of the Earth sustainable fashion standards were implemented to certify fabrics and fashion products of sustainable origin. A Brazilian producer, Dona Rufina, was the first to achieve this certification and several other companies are now audited. The launch of WSO Models is a step forward in motivating the fashion industry to be more sustainable and have an ethical approach to modeling.
WSO Models Academy & Agency (WSO MAA) is a project of the World Sustainability Organization Srl. The mission of the WSO Models Academy & Agency is to offer a platform where models can be treated fairly as people, respecting their rights and highlighting them for what they are, their life stories and their commitment to community support or conservation. In turn, the Academy's proceeds will also be used to support WSO conservation projects and campaigns. More than ten models from different continents have been applied and the interest of fashion companies is growing.
WSO Academy and Model Agency allows anyone wishing to be part of the WSO MAA to have the opportunity to be selected for their values. The WSO MAA upholds fair compensation, national employment laws, adequate nutrition and health recommendations, and has a strict anti-discrimination and sexual harassment rule. Models are encouraged to engage in conservation and community support initiatives. The WSO offers support to models from abroad who want to become part of the WSO model archive through virtual casting, photo shoots and Academy support.
The WSO MAA does not work with companies involved in the sale of endangered species products. Contribution to the WSO MAA helps wso conservation projects and campaigns.

The group seeks to extend the life cycle of materials, reduce the amount of waste and reduce the damage to the environment created by production and consumption.
