Yesterday at Paris Fashion Week, Danish model Freja Beha Erichsen and American model Arizona Muse decided to donate a day’s salary to Doctors Without Borders – an international medical humanitarian organisation working in nearly 70 countries to assist people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe.

Backstage at the Balmain show, the young models put this short video together with ModTV in an attempt to help raise funds and awareness for the charity.

“On October 4th there’s a bunch of shows here in Paris,” Freja said yesterday, “so as models what we can do right now is just go to work and donate whatever we make on those shows that day to Doctors Without Borders and hopefully inspire other people to participate and be a part of it.”

The models are also urging the whole fashion industry, as well as those outside it, to follow suit. So Models Direct encourages you to head on over to DoctorWithoutBorders.org now to donate a day’s salary or what ever you can afford.
