"In the end, what matters most is that the model start her career off when she is physically and mentally best suited for success."Author:Erin CunninghamPublish date:Jun 13, 2019Updated onJun 12, 2019In March, luxury conglomerate Kering announced that, starting with the Fall 2020 season, its brands, which include Gucci, Saint Laurent and Balenciaga, would no longer employ models under the age of 18.
But fashion has a long history of employing underage models: Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell were discovered at 14 and 15, respectively; Kendall Jenner, Gigi and Bella Hadid and Kaia Gerber all made their modeling debuts well before they were 18.
While the traditional development process typically involves "learning how to take pictures, learning how to work with photographers and learning how to show up on time," according to Wilhelmina's CEO Bill Wackermann, he notes that, now more than ever, it also includes having an open dialogue and a strong relationship with the model's parents.
How Storm Management's Sarah Doukas Went From Modeling Herself to Discovering Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne And Fitzpatrick agrees. "In reality, most young Americans start their first job in their late teens or early twenties, certainly after completing high school," he says. "By that standard, models starting their careers at age 18 or soon after puts them more or less in line with their peers in other industries. We think models should, at a minimum, complete high school before starting their modeling career.
That pressure of the global show circuit, however, still exists. While New York has the Child Model Act, which requires companies to follow specific guidelines in order to employ models under 18, in Europe, "there's more fluidity; girls are still walking [runways] at 16," Wackermann says.
