Katie Braatvedt

please could someone put this on youtube before it gets taken off the site?!?!?!

that's ridiculous. those vogue shots are very age appropriate. she looks very girly and cute and innocent. i have no idea where they're getting the sexualization idea.

The video raises some geniune concerns about what is currently standard practice in the industry (ie using very young models). It is just soooo unfortunate that Katie is the one being used to illustrate those concerns. I really hope she personally doesn't let this get to her in any way.

...and I feel for Katie's parents, who must be feeling a bit besieged at the moment...

Oh, what kind of she is? Is she sweet little girl or little b*tch

i don't really know her cause she's in the year below me but she's in my art class and seems quite nice

I think they had a thing on her on NZ 60 Minutes once. I'm pretty sure it was her, and they talked about how she had been discovered in a mall and then they filmed her going to NY for the first time....

They also recently had her on the cover of Fashion Quarterly and that caused a bit of controversy... I cant insert the pic of her cover because the img is copyright but if you go here you can see it: http://www.runwayreporter.com/template10.asp?id=3922

No, you are thinking of Grace Hobson! she was on 60mins a couple years ago.

the cover of FQ and her editorial are posted a few pages back.

first picture love, 2nd picture alright...
the rest, not for met
she has short legs, very narrow shoulders, and her facial expressions have no variation
and the open mouth thing is solely for coco.. haha

I don't get the controversy around Katie at all...sure she's 15, but she hasn't done any provocative work whatsoever nor is she particularly unhealthy looking. The media seems to be picking a very unusual target for the too young/too skinny debate...

The name Braatvedt / Bråtvedt is common in Norway, I wonder if there's any connection..?
