Kering brands will no longer use models under 18
Age has long been a hot button topic within the industry, and the latest move towards stricter guidelines comes from Kering: a new statement released by the luxury conglomerates says it is committed to only using models 18 and over, effective as of F/W 2020 shows. Kering includes houses like Saint Laurent, Balenciaga and Gucci, meaning their coming shows and shoots would need to adhere to the minimum. Kering’s chairman and chief executive officer, François-Henri Pinault, writes of the decision, “We believe that we have a responsibility to put forward the best possible practices in the Luxury sector and we hope to create a movement that will encourage others to follow suit.” The statement also notes that it was in 2017 that a Kering and LVMH backed charter successfully introduced a minimum age of 16. “In our view, the physiological and psychological maturity of models aged over 18 seems more appropriate to the rhythm and demands that are involved in this profession,” said Kering’s chief sustainability officer, Marie-Claire Daveu.
