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

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