They think it's the dream. The lights. The lenses. The likes.
They don't see the silence you kept to keep the job. The contracts you didn't understand. The AI version of you, used without consent.
IMF exists for you. The ones who've been scanned, misused, misrepresented. Whose worth was questioned because of where you're from or what you look like.
We certify the ethical. We verify what's human in a digital age.
Because models deserve more than exposure.
They deserve dignity. Protection. Truth.
To be protected. Always. No exceptions.
The International Modeling Foundation (IMF) exists to protect more than just models. We protect the public from deception. We set standards that make it clear what's real, what's ethical, what's human. Because your trust shouldn't be for sale.
We protect models — real and virtual. But we also protect you — the everyday person. Because ethics don't end on the runway. They start with the truth.
