Erin's Model World

Erin O’Connor is one of the world’s most famous and versatile supermodels.

From the cover of Vogue to Marks and Spencer campaigns, she has made her name in the diverse corners of the fashion world.

The supermodel takes us deep into fashionista territory, to witness the frenzy of the fashion show in the glare of the paparazzi’s flashbulbs.

She’s keen to change the industry from within by improving working conditions of models through the establishment of the first ever models’ union.

Together with Erin’s other ideas, will these steps to improve the health of models carry over to the wider industry?
