No australian fashion week for Monika Jagaciak.
This 14 year old model was booked out from an international show and she won't be able to walk on this year's edition of Australia Fashion Week. Although she can appear on magazine covers, the shows are not for her. I think they did the right thing. On one hand, the younger the better, because she will make profit of her best years, she is young and her career will last longer. On the other hand, is it right to have a 14-year-old girl in a world of adults? She will miss her childhood unless she doesn't quit her studies.
The young models:
Tanya Dziahileva started modelling at the age of 14, appearing in Alexander McQueen, Anna Molinari, Aquascutum, Blumarine, Chanel, Chloe, Christian Dior, D&G, Dries van Noten, Etro, Giles Deacon, Givenchy, Gucci, Hermes, Jean Paul Gaultier, Jil Sander, John Galliano, Jonathan Saunders, Marni, MaxMara, Missoni, Miu Miu, Noir, Paul Smith, Prada, Preen, Rochas, Sportmax and YSL Rive Gauche. Such a great start, huh?
Brooke Shields appeared in 1980 on the cover of Vogue aged 14, reportedly the youngest cover girl in the magazine's history.

How can a 14-year-old girl dress like this? I was going to say that she looks like my grandmother, but she would never wear such an awful outfit! Ok, she's the daughter of a rockstar, but how can she afford those clothes? Another mistery to add to the Carrie one (how can a journalist who writes a column spend so much on clothes?)
THE GREAT NEWS: You can watch all the episodes HERE!!!
This is the best show ever.
hah i've always wondered about the carrie thing too. who gets paid that much to write a column, besides dear abby?
ReplyDeleteCarrie I can understand becuase she was in a lot of vintage and she was in her 30's.
ReplyDeleteBut Jenny? No 14 year old that isn't the daughter of a Hilton can afford that!!!
Plus I just hate Jenny/the actress!
oh dearr, i agree that outfit it not nice! and yes, i did wonder about carrie's wage packet, but i pushed this thought out of my mind as i like to think i could have the same easy job and afford the same luxuries, he!
ReplyDeleteand about your last comment, i hope you get involved anyway, it's just for fun and you the winner if whoever gets the most right answers so you never know!

Aw I love Jenny's clothes. Especially those socks...
ReplyDeleteI think it was always supposed to be Carrie skimped on other things to spend on shoes. Rent controlled apartment, doesn't have any appliances, etc. Although it still seems a bit much... but thats what made her fabulous!
PS: Jenny was supposed to be getting a lot of pieces from Blair. Also, remember she was selling her stuff for money. Not to mention, she is supposed to have 'made' some of her clothing!
ReplyDeleteNo, sé... quizas estoy mal o quizas me gusta mucho gossip... pero el look de Jenny no se me hace desagradable, es más me gusta mucho... un poco recargado... pero no se supone que ella trata de superar a Queen B?

Me ha encantado el reportaje sobre las edades de las modelos. Es mejor empezar cuanto antes para explotar al maximo el momento, pero mas vale que esten bien respaldadas... Tienen suerte las que acaban cuerdas y con los pies en la tierra al terminar su carrera.
ReplyDeleteLo de Gossip girl es un poco exagerado. Y lo de Carrie tambien me lo he preguntado muchas veces. Habia asumido que el dinero le llego por herencia. Asumo que no vive de su columna...

Pues a mi me parecen demasiado jovenes para desfilar. Si la mayoria de edad está en 18 qué menos que empiecen a partir de esa edad. Es que a los 12, 13, 14 o 15 tu cuerpo aun no está formado y eres una niña, por Dior!
ReplyDeletewow i love that gossip girl outfit!
ReplyDeleteand tnya looks SO cute in this picture
Este post me hace sentir pésima.. aunque no es tu culpa, al contrario, AMO tu blog y cada día me fijo si has posteado algo nuevo, aunque no todas las veces te comente, siempre te leo.
ReplyDeleteLa cosa es que tengo 14 años y no puedo creer que estas chicas (incluso, algunas menores que yo) sean tan pero, tan hermosas y con cuerpos tan desarrollados para su edad, ay, no sé.. quisiera crecer como ellas pero, bueno.. no todos son perfectos como ellas.
OMG te amo demasiado :)
ReplyDeletegracias por el link a la temporada completa :)
pd: AMO LA CARTERA Valentino de Jenny, hum? pero como ella puede pagar eso ?
Tanya D is scary skinny ! So is Karlie Kloss. The others are beautiful, though. And I think the Gossip Girl stylist does a little too much.
ReplyDeletei really dont like that they are so young and they are on the runway. limit should be 18. runway at the age of 13? where is the difference between that and child labor in india?
