Have fashion industry supermodels spoken out about sexual harassment with the same fervor as women in Hollywood? It seems not, so we've gone looking to see who among the prominent voices has stepped up for a 'Time's Up' statement, especially among the older models.

Women like Edie Campbell, Cameron Russell and recently Kate Upton have raised their voices against sexual harassment. Edie and Cameron have engaged repeatedly on the topic. Who else has spoken out?

Supermodel Christy Turlington left no ambiguity in her comments to WWD in October 2017, as the Harvey Weinstein scandal was exploding.

The supermodel and founder of Every Mother Counts, says that the same type of Hollywood harassment is widely known and often ignored in the modeling world. “I have been thinking about this a lot since the news came out, and I can say that harassment and mistreatment have always been widely known and tolerated in the industry,” the model said. “The industry is surrounded by predators who thrive on the constant rejection and loneliness so many of us have experienced at some point in our careers.”

Burns says she was fortunate that she didn’t experience anything traumatic during her tenure, but acknowledged her luck: “That is not the norm.” Looking back she says she was left in the care of questionable types -- especially men -- more than once in her early modeling career.

“I would get off of a flight and find some creepy playboy type there to meet me,” Christy reflected. “In hindsight, I fear I may have played the ‘honeypot’ that has been described in the stories about these predators who make other women feel protected. Unknowingly, but still an accomplice of sorts. I might have been the assurance that made other young women feel safer. If I’d known how these men thought and behaved, I might have done more to stay clear of them”
