London Fashion Week Model Sanctuary

This will be our fourth season of supporting the Model Sanctuary at London Fashion Week – it’s great to be invited back again.

Supermodel Erin O’Connor has worked hard behind the scenes at helping young models coming into the industry. She set up the Model Sanctuary for London Fashion Week so that models can rest between shows and have a chat and freshen up. Erin explains her motivation:

“I felt that there was a lack of self-esteem in the new models coming onto the fashion scene. This also links to the fact that most models are very young when they first enter into the industry. I wanted to provide a safe haven to allow them to flourish and feel comfortable with themselves. When you combine the amount of pressure they receive from the industry and the media, I felt it was important to provide a service which aims to nurture and encourage them. At the Model Sanctuary we offer a professional nutritional adviser as well as confidential and practical advice from our psycho-therapeutic counsellor. We also offer up fresh food, supplements and organic beauty products to keep the models balanced and fresh.”
