Phoebe Philo Returns<\/strong>
\nAfter a highly anticipated wait, Phoebe Philo <\/a> will debut her eponymous label\u2019s first collection this September. The collection will be available on their website, Phoebephilo.com, and the brand will be opening for registration in July. Philo\u2019s devoted fans, editors, and more have shared their eagerness. The British designer has been very lowkey since she announced in 2021 that she was returning to fashion with investments from an independent namesake house and with LVMH Mo\u00ebt Hennessy Louis Vuitton. In 2021, Philo said, \u201cI am very much looking forward to being back in touch with my audience and people everywhere. To be independent, to govern and experiment on my own terms is hugely significant to me.\u201d [Vogue<\/a>]<\/p>\n

The New Adult Survivors Act PSA Campaign <\/strong>
\nThe Adult Survivors Act<\/a> is a New York State law that creates a one-time, one-year look-back window for adult sexual assault survivors who can sue their abusers no matter how long ago the abuse occurred. Survivors can file a civil case against their abuser and institutions until November 23, 2023. The Model Alliance, an advocacy group aimed to promote fair treatment, equal opportunity, and more sustainable practices in the fashion industry, has partnered with Harvey Weinstein accuser, Ambra B. Gutierrez<\/a>, supermodel Carr\u00e9 Otis<\/a>, TikToker Barrett Pall, and other models to create a public service announcement<\/a> to increase awareness of the Adult Survivors Act (ASA). Founder of the Model Alliance Sara Ziff <\/a>said on the effort, \u201cKnowing that the many survivors who felt unable to report past abuses will now have a chance at justice brought our community some comfort. The passage of the ASA marks a crucial step towards our collective healing.\u201d Ziff continued, \u201cTo those weighing the decision of whether or not to come forward, I say this: You are not alone. You have a community of survivors waiting to support you through what we know will be a challenging process. Our Model Alliance support line offers free, confidential, secure help, and we can connect you with trusted attorneys, should you want it. We know that reporting abuse takes an incredible amount of bravery. Please don\u2019t hesitate to contact us for support.\u201d Under the Adult Survivors Act (ASA), New Yorkers who were sexually assaulted as adults will have a one-year window to sue their abusers and institutions that protected abusers. Some states have similar “lookback” laws for child sexual abuse victims to bring civil claims, but now only New Jersey and New York \u201chave allowed a grace period for victims who were adults at the time of the assault.\u201d Supermodel Carr\u00e9 Otis said to Models.com, \u201cThe ASA was modeled after the Child Victim Act – the very legislation which has allowed me to seek justice following the abuse I suffered as a young model. It has helped me begin the process of reclaiming my power, healing, and moving forward. It is my hope that through this campaign and the ASA\u2019s new one-year look-back window, others will also be able to find their voice and the support they need as they consider their legal options.\u201d Please look through the Model Alliance\u2019s website<\/a> for further details.
