Meet Thylane Loubry Blondeau. She is the fashion world’s newest muse and sheis only 10 years old.
Her shot to fame is no accident. Her father is soccer player PatrickBlondeau, while her mother Véronika Loubry worked as a TV presenter and nowdesigns a mother-daughter clothing line. Thylane began modeling at the age of 4and has already appeared on the cover of Vogue Enfants and in ad campaigns forchildren’s lines of major fashion labels. She even walked in Jean-PaulGaultier’s spring show.
Thylane came to mainstream prominence when she appeared in Vogue Paris–thegrown-up issue, not kiddie Vogue–wearing clothes that aren’t age-appropriate.Some say the editorial sexualized children, but the magazine defended itselfthat it is a creative interpretation of playing dress-up. It is alsointeresting to note that a lot of models start working by the age of 14, a fewyears older than Thylane, and they are also not styled as children most of thetime.
But what do you think? Is 10 too young to become a high-fashion model?
