They’re the models fighting in the trenches of the fashion industry, so it seemed appropriate to photograph them in this season’s myriad versions of every closet’s hardest-working piece. Every single one of these incredible women deserves a shout out for their commitment, bravery and refusal to accept the status quo, but we have literally never had so many people in one shot before, so we’ve devised a little key so that you can find – and support – each one. And if you’ve taken a fancy to what they’re wearing? You can find that below, too. Follow the group on Instagram @modelactivist.
