This year’s EE British Academy Film Awards—more popularly known as the BAFTAs—saw the film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri winning big, as it took home the major awards Best Film, Outstanding British Film, and Original Screenplay, while its actors Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell bagged the Leading Actress and Supporting Actor awards respectively. The Shape of Water also got a couple of big wins: Original Music, Production Design, the Director award for Guillermo del Toro. For the full list of winners, see here.

The men who slayed the red carpet were Chiwetel Ejiofor in a Prada tuxedo (and a Time’s Up pin), Nicholas Hoult in Tom Ford, and Timothee Chalamet in a velvet Saint Laurent.

Almost six months after the LVMH group and Kering published a charter that outlines the proper working relations and conditions for models in the workplace, the two global luxury brand leaders created an official website, www.wecareformodels.com, that aims to be a mobile guide on the charter, one that’s accessible to fashion models and industry partners anytime, anywhere.

The website explains guidelines to be observed by the LVMH group and Kering when it comes to hiring and working with fashion models within the fashion houses that the two companies own. These guidelines range from proper working conditions and proper diet restrictions to work guidelines for models who are minors and proper stress management.

While there is no specific qualitative measure if the charter is being strictly observed across the board, LVMH and Kering assures proper monitoring through their assigned representatives and regular evaluations.
