NYFW The Making of a French Knight
The Knighting Ceremony of Sara Ziff Shot By Me
Model Alliance Founder Sara Ziff was honored with the title of Knight in the National Order of Merit by the French government in recognition of her distinguished defense of women’s rights. Furthermore, from Bangledesh supply chains to runways, we celebrated this milestone with Sara and the Model Alliance’s 10th anniversary. Following the knighting, there was at an intimate reception with family, friends, and members of the Model Alliance community. Moreover, special guest activists such as Miss Karen Elson and Senator Brad Hoylman spoke and enjoyed the event.
“Let tonight be more than just a recognition of how far we’ve come, but a renewed call to action that continues to gain momentum for women and workers in the fashion industry going forward.” Cheers to that, Chevalier Ziff.
