wyatt. said:in certain cases it's completely understandable, to start working young and become as successful as possible especially in harsh situations.
evexa said:15, that's when I started and I felt it was the perfect time for me. I did very well because of it.
Other girls may not be as mature as I was so I guess it's a case-by-case thing.
Nemova said:...I keep asking myself how are we, women and consumers, able to relate to a bunch of pubescents?
model_mom said:Here's a choice for you.
Atelier said:That's a different question, my friend. In an interview a couple of years ago Carolina Herrera asks outloud--paraphrasing here--if we even really want to see ourselves up there. From a psychological and marketing standpoint, we could argue either way.
NYFashion said:I am completely against it. Its one thing to model at that age commercialy - for extra income like Model Mom said. But lately it seems girls are getting younger and younger. I am a booker and we have several younger girls and it breaks my heart to see them far from their country, their family, and everything they know. Of course its important to be independent and take advantage of opportunities to see the world - to learn about different cultures - to explore. But this shouldnt be done until you are someone what matured. 13 is entirely too young. I understand 17 a lot more - but definitely one thing I stand by is finishing your schooling. Thats the basis of your future and to not finish school just to dive into such an industry is unaccepptable in my opinion. Its a very rare few who make it big and no longer have to worry about their futures...
