“The expectation that models should change in front of people is also a way for the client to exert power. It's both a test and a reminder of your position: everyone else is doing their job; now it's time for you to do yours. The stylist, their assistant, the client or editor, the other models, and sometimes the photographer will stand right in front of you and wait as you strip. You understand that your body is a means for them to accomplish what they're here to accomplish: to make an image to sell whatever it is they're selling. They're in charge of it now, not you. (K-Spa)” — Emily Ratajkowski
