Kathryn recalls her experience as an extra in a music video, leading us to discuss the idea of labor in the entertainment and fashion industry. First, we review the trade-off of time and skills experienced in unpaid internships. We continue to examine unpaid modeling work, the effects of the pandemic, and the potential growth for unions within the modeling industry. Last, we emphasize the need for worker-driven protection agreements to ensure that every worker is happy and healthy.
