lindsey wixson

I can't describe Lindsey Wixson to you - I admit to knowing little about her, except that she's 15 and fast becoming a high - fashion model. You must of seen her on the Miu Miu campiagns this season. I can hear you all going 'ohhhh her, the babyface!'. Yes, well... What do you think of her? Is it fair to put so much strain on a 15 year old? Although fashion week's coming to a close and she's done her shows is it appropriate to have a 15 year old plastered all over billboard, staying up util midnight for fittings? (Tired, cold, waiting, hungry, and you know that you have 20 other things to do and you're going to get home at midnight." - her agent said, describing the models life) Although she's beautiful, in a unique way, I personally think designers and agents should wait a year or two before they put too much stress on the poor girl. But, contradicting myself, I'm proud to see someone close to my age making it in the Fashion business. Though I don't expect to ever be famous, it's still quite inspiring to see these girls make it 'big'. Really the only other person in the fashion world below 16 I can think of is (blogger) Tavi. Or maybe I just dont pay enough attention.

'She's just this girl — she's tired, she wants to drink coffee, she wants to eat chocolate.... And the reality is she's all over billboards and the Miu Miu campaign and all of these big, high-profile things. It's a very interesting combination of real life and fantasy life." said of Wixson
