Luxury conglomerates LVMH and Kering have announced a fortified model protection charter designed to enhance the safety, dignity, and working conditions of models. The updated protocols, set to take effect starting with the 2027 Paris Fashion Week, include a mandate that the minimum age for models representing adults in fashion shows or photo shoots is raised from 16 to 18.

The new regulations establish a zero-tolerance stance against all forms of physical, psychological, verbal, and emotional harassment, abuse, or violence. To enforce these standards, the groups plan to conduct unannounced audits and workplace checks. Specific requirements for production environments include the necessity of prior formal agreements and ensuring models are never left alone with production team members, particularly during scenes involving nudity.
