Multiple Female Models Accuse Photographer Patrick Demarchelier of Sexual Misconduct
The Boston Globe has reported that multiple models have accused photographer Patrick Demarchelier of sexual misconduct. Demarchelier has denied the allegations. “People lie and they tell stories,” he told The Globe. “It’s ridiculous.”
Condé Nast released the following response to the allegations: “We have informed Patrick we will not be working with him for the foreseeable future.”
In October, Condé Nast released a new Code of Conduct in response to allegations of misconduct in the fashion industry. "There are no excuses for this type of behavior; it is completely unacceptable," the release reads. "The company expects all employees, freelance contributors and others that Condé Nast retains to act appropriately and with the utmost personal and professional respect for each other when working on behalf of the company and its brands, advertisers and clients."
