New York state moves to protect child models

Amid the black leather jackets, gold-beaded dresses and cropped fur coats in fashion designer Nicole Miller's SoHo store, politicians and models met Tuesday to announce a new law protecting child models in New York state.
Signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo Monday night, and six months in the making, the new law provides fashion models who are minors with the same protections afforded youths in the entertainment industry.
