In a new episode of The Model Docs, nine top models, including Bella Hadid, Precious Lee, and Soo Joo Park, sat down to discuss how the pandemic has particularly changed the modeling world
For many fashion insiders, the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic is intricately linked with the fall 2020 season. During Milan Fashion Week, major signs of the spreading coronavirus started popping up in the city, and models recall feeling the initial frenzy and panic during the shows. “I remember being in Milan and hearing that it had made its way there,” says Kaia Gerber. “I remember everyone trying to get out. Little did we know how it would follow us to Paris and then the world.
The models share how they felt when they realized their busy careers—including all runway shows, photo shoots, and ad campaigns—would all be coming to a halt. Many were worried about continuing to make a livelihood, of course, as well as concerned about the health and safety of themselves and their family. “I was only concerned about the health of my family in Wuhan [in China], which is where the virus was said to have originated,” says model Sherry Shi.
With stay-at-home orders implemented shortly after, many of the models said they took the time to reevaluate their lives and mental health. “Mental health came into the center of the picture for me,” says Soo Joo Park. “I’ve been modeling for 10 years now…and when I slowed down because of the pandemic, I had to sit there with my own thoughts and figure out all these things that I had been pushing down.
While the pandemic set the fashion world back for well over a year, many of the models are now optimistic about the future of the industry, which is. Some even believe the lessons learned over the past year and a half can usher in positive change for models. “The pandemic, although it hindered a lot of us, was good for the industry moving forward,” says model Ariel Nicholson. “Everything feels a bit more human and real now. Models are starting to have longer careers of more substance.
