We had to wait for the 21st century for this?

Good news via Liberal Democrat MP Jo Swinson:

Take a look at what it covers:

The agreement stipulates that models hired by Vogue will not work longer than ten hours a day, will have adequate food provided and will not do any semi or fully nude shoots unless agreed in advance. The code also prohibits models under the age of 16 from being photographed for shoots representing adult models. Other requisites include mandatory breaks, changing rooms, transport, prompt payment and suitable temperatures for the clothes being modelled.

All good stuff – but the very need to say it reveals the shocking way that people can end up being treated at the moment in this industry. Yes, to take one example, having your employees have access to adequate food is a good thing. But waiting until the 21st century to do this? Geez.
