Another Underage Model Breaks The Rules, Slips On To The Catwalk

Jenna Sauers — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 16:30:00 EDT

The top international modeling agency Women has copped to an oopsie: its most promising new face of the season, a girl by the name of Valerija Sestic who has already walked for 16 of the biggest designers at New York fashion week, is underage. In a season when all modeling agencies made a pledge not to put girls under 16 forward for runway work, Women lied. Sestic is 15. And yet here she is, pictured walking in runway shows for Prabal Gurung, DKNY, and Marc by Marc Jacobs. This news will be an interesting test of the industry's resolve for change, and of the limits of its capacity for self-regulation. More »

The Socialites At The New Yorkers For Children Soiree Looked Kinda Silly

But there's always a lot of subtle "bad" that's technically tasteful but really weird. Not that there weren't celebs there — think Blake Lively, Julianne Moore, Joy Bryant — but the evening belonged to Tory Burch, Celerie Kemble and their similarly-named cronies. And as a New Yorker who's, you know, for children, I feel unusually qualified to judge them. After the jump! More »
