Angel Sinclair

1. Who is Models of Diversity (MoD) and how did it get its start?

Models of Diversity is a London-based non-profit organization which advocates for more diversity in models, and demands that the fashion and marketing industries recognize the beauty in women and men of all races, ages, shapes, sizes, abilities, genders and sexual orientations. Our mission is to change the face of fashion and modelling! We are a campaign founded to stand for equal rights and opportunities within the modelling and fashion industry. I also run Sinclair Model Management, which is very proud to promote natural, healthy models from diverse backgrounds with whom people in the general population can identify.
