Gender pay gap in modelling industry sees women earn 75% more than men



Cara Delevingne overtakes Kate Moss as highest paid, while David Gandy is the only man to appear in the top 10 earners in the British modelling industry

While the BBC may be in hot water for the gender disparity highlighted in its recent salary report, there has been little said about the state of pay within the fashion industry.

A new study, however, has shed some light on the situation - and women come out on top.

Reportedly earning around 75% more than their male counterparts, women make up 9 of the top 10 highest earning models in British fashion.

Losing her place in the top spot is Kate Moss, who has been overtaken financially by friend and model 19 years her junior Cara Delevingne.

Earning £8 million a year, Delevingne has the power of Instagram to thank for her £22,000 a day salary according to new research conducted by lingerie brand Bluebella based on catwalk day rates and commercial deals.

With over 40 million Instagram followers - compared to Moss's agency account's 631,000 - the 24-year-old model-turned-actress dominates a more influential arena on social media, rendering her more attractive to advertisers.

Landing the second spot was new mother Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who reportedly earned £6.5 million last year with thanks, in part, to her 7.6 million Instagram followers.

According to the research, Moss took third spot and earns around £5 million.

Fourth place went to the first, and only, male model on the list. David Gandy reportedly makes £4 million, while fifth place went to 47-year-old Naomi Campbell who earns around £3 million annually.

Sixth place went to Georgia May Jagger - reportedly on £2.5 million - while Edie Campbell came in seventh on £2 million.

Jourdan Dunn came eighth place - reportedly on £1.75 million - ahead of Erin O'Connor's £1.5 million.

Taking tenth spot on the list is Kate Moss's younger half sister Lottie.

Signed to Storm Models, the same agency that discovered Kate, the 19-year-old is reportedly already on a salary of £1 million.

Obama cares\d about the pay gap, that's one.

In the world of fashion and whatnot female models are just infinitely more marketable for obvious reasons. Just like how male athletes are much more marketable and wealthier, all that is exactly as it should be and theres nth wrong with that.

Pay gap only matters if you are doing the same job as good as your counterpart. Can't seriously compare modelling and normal jobs.

[Taso]

Well if woman were cheaper then men you should see more jobs hiring females over men. The fact that men are still employed more then females means that the gender pay gap isn't as concerning as it's made to be.

But it would take me 5 minutes to find feminists complaining about that.

Well, wouldn't that put you and Xarim on the same level as those crazy feminists?

Only difference being him and Xarim aren't getting governmental support, and noone is going to implement laws to counter what he and Xarim are complaining about.
While with crazy feminists it is a different story.

Donald Trump is president there's your governmental support.

I have to admit, I kind of want to see what a crazed men's right president would look like and what laws would be passed.

Gender issues threads are against the rules, and it should be really obvious in this case. CLosing this.
