^ Pretty much agree with everything you say. I never understood why agencies get these super young girls into town to walk shows. It was something different a few years ago... But these days where everything about fashion is so "of the minute" and hype sensitive it's quite difficult with these young belles... Because while these 14 or 15 year olds can be released from school for three or four weeks to walk shows, they will hardly be able to not turn down campaign and editorial options which are distributed over the entire year due to school and so on..... And we all know how the wind blows... Without this kind of "blue chip" print backing and serious book progress, it will be not so easy to survive the next season... Valerija Sestic makes a good example of how it shouldn't be done, I think.
Still have high hopes for Thairine.
