Gerren Taylor

I agree. Why is are models becoming increasingly younger? There are plenty of tall, thin, gorgeous 23 year olds who I'm sure could model but now are considered too old to enter into the modelling business. Why? I don't think a 12/13 year old should be exposed to this sort of business so young. Let her have her teen years and her childhood. And Milla is hardly an idol.

She's not that pretty IMO. I find her too young as well. She looks like a baby I don't think that she will be the next naomi

[sashatheelf]

..and definately much too cutesy to be a supermodel, cute faces dont sell sex(or lingerie for that matter)

 

[ykidkwis]

I agree...she looks so young...i mean look at the pic...doesn't it jsut scream little girl who just lost her tooth and found a dollar from the toothfairy under her pillow?

 

[sashatheelf]

very much so.

 

[StellaStarr]

I dont like her ads at all shes way to young looking

 

[marc jacobs addict]

i dont understand.

she looks like she's 13... oh yeah, SHE IS.

i just dont get it. she doesnt appeal to me at all, just looks like another teeny-bopper that could be roaming around my high school.

oh! and i completely agree with what someone said before about younger models, there are sooo many absolutely gorgeous young early 20's women who are just becoming increasly cast into the shadows of pre-pubescent girls playing dress up as a model. i miss the "older" women, the women who made me want to buy the clothes, not grab for my polly pocket.

ugh. not a fan.

NEW TWEEN: Gerren Taylor, touted as the next Naomi Campbell or Tyra Banks, was a fixture during Los Angeles fashion week in April and, more recently, spotted walking the Roberto Cavalli fall 2003 fashion show presented by Neiman Marcus in Las Vegas. But Taylor is 12-years old and admittedly still plays with dolls. It’s a juxtaposition of worlds not lost on ABC’s 20/20, whose producers have been following the Los Angeles native for an as-yet unscheduled profile. Neiman Marcus representatives, who said they weren’t aware of Taylor’s age until the day of the show, didn’t appear undone. “The most exciting thing about fashion is being able to discover new talent,” said a spokesman. But Taylor’s agent, Crista Sides Klayman of L.A. Models, conceded even seemingly shockproof companies have been scared off. Gucci recently backed out of hiring Taylor to informally model during an alcohol-laden cocktail party at the Beverly Hills store. “Sometimes the client gets uncomfortable,” Klayman said.

an article i found on WWD.com from may 2003.

"next naomi or tyra.." please, i dont think she can even be compared to either of them. besides the obviuos connection of race, i dont see any other similarity in them in a long shot. gerren is far too young to gain supermodel status, and... this is a completely different era and culture of fashion than it was in the 80's/90's that is was for naomi/tyra. just a different lifestyle, and preception of models and fashion as a whole for her to be compared to the likes of either of them.

oh well, i still dont like her.

she's way too young in my opinion. she looks too cute and babyish to be taken seriously. younger models are appearing on the catwalks now ie. hana and tiuu when they were about 16, but gerren's face certainly isn't going to sell clothing like tiuu or even natalia vodianova's face can. she's nothing special, just fortunate to be tall, thin and not be ugly. the reason she's getting booked now is because of the publicity surrounding her because of her age, not because she's stunningly beautiful.

 

[Deleted member 1957]

id prefer to see her in teen vogue or teen people or even ym!

 

[gbnf34]

I think she is way to young, and I can't see anything special about her.

That popularity surrounding her age was at 12. I think she's now 14.
