Erin O'Connor says there must tougher laws to protect models under the age of 16.
The British supermodel - founder of the temporarily closed respite center Model Sanctuary - is supporting a group of MPs who are campaigning for model protection laws for young females in the industry:
"Back in 2007, the fashion industry had recently undergone a turbulent and reflective period which resulted in the recommendations of the Model Health Inquiry. Out of those recommendations, the decision to protect under 16-year-olds from appearing on the catwalk was one of the most impacting. It seemed to me that there was mounting pressure on both sides, not only for young models at a crucial stage in their mental and physical development, but also for some members of the wider community who look to fashion to influence their own body aesthetic. It is imperative that we continue to secure the welfare of our younger participants and we should always aim to do that in an empowered and creative way. It's for reasons such as this that I founded the model sanctuary. We aim to encourage a strong ethic of self-reliance, awareness and belief with the encouragement of our friendly and experienced team of professionals."

Cindy Crawford's daughter Kaia is the new face of Young Versace.
The 10-year-old child of Cindy and Rande Gerber has been praised by the brand's creative director Donatella Versace, who says the camera loves her: "Like her mother, Kaia has a very special gift. The camera really, really loves her. Having Cindy on-set for the shoot took me back to all the amazing Avedon shoots we worked on together. It was such a special treat watching Kaia walk in her mother's footsteps!"
Cindy is also delighted her daughter is following in her footsteps because she has such fond memories of being model for the Italian fashion house: "I'm so thrilled that Kaia was chosen to be part of the first Young Versace Campaign. I have so many fond memories of the times I spent with Gianni and Donatella. There is something so very special about the House of Versace."
Cindy recently claimed models had a hard time getting work as they now had to sing and act in addition to looking their best. "I just saw the CoverGirl commercial with Taylor Swift and I thought, 'Wow, it is so hard for models to get a job these days.' You have to sing and act, too. There doesn't seem to be as much work specifically just for models."

Tali Lennox's campaign for Karen Millen has been unveiled.
The daughter of Scottish singer Annie Lennox and Israeli film and record producer Uri Fruchtman is the new face of the British fashion label and creative director Gemma Metheringham is thrilled with the "uplifting" campaign featuring Tali: "To sum up the mood of the season, it is upbeat and uplifting, and this is reflected in our new campaign. Our collection has a lightness to it and, as this is the season of the separate. We are encouraging our customers to create their own looks and style using our wonderfully versatile pieces."
The 19-year-old beauty has replaced Victoria's Secret model Jessica Hart as the face of the campaign and Tali previously revealed she is thrilled with her developing career as a model because she never liked school: "I was never really the type who wanted to be at school. I don't believe in the pressure of having to follow a certain timeline. It's great when you're doing a shoot and it's something bizarre; you can feel really confident in a different character."

Lindsay Lohan Becomes Face of Jag Jeans
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News,
Lindsay Lohan has become the new face of Jag Jeans. The actress - who recently posed naked for Playboy magazine - recently shot a campaign for the denim brand and impressed bosses with her professionalism.
"As Jag Jeans' newest endorser, Lindsay embodies the strength and fearlessness of the woman of today. She is unafraid to be who she is. She is fierce yet exudes feminine grace," a press release read. "Lindsay was so involved with the shoot that she would go as far as adjusting items on the set. She even requested scissors so she could personally fray the edges of her black crepe blouse because she believed it would look better that way. Lindsay would take a hands-on approach to her shots, as she was more than willing to change her hairstyle during mid-shoot and even used her own personal jewelry and accessories when needed."
Kate Moss Planning Fashion Range With Daughter
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Models, News, Girls,
Kate Moss is teaming up with her nine-year-old daughter to create a girls' clothing range. The supermodel and little Lila Grace are working with British high street store Debenhams on a range of "funky tweenage" designs, due for release in summer 2012.
"Lila has always loved trying on Kate's clothes and make-up, and is already really into fashion. It was mainly all her idea and Kate obviously agreed to help out as much as possible, using her contacts to land the duo a deal. Lila is adamant the range will be very traditional and English rose-esque in feel. Lila doesn't want to produce chavvy clothes. The collaboration was actually inspired by Kate's mates, Jemima French and Sadie Frost's new FrostFrench Iris and Edie capsule range of sleepwear after their daughters got involved. Kate and Lila Grace will get cracking on designs over the festive period, mulling over ideas at Kate's Cotswolds' pad," a source said.
Kate recently revealed Lila is quite "prudish" and will often tell her mother off when she doesn't take off her make-up: "I always take my make-up off, because otherwise my daughter will come in and say, 'Mummy, tut-tut'. She doesn't like it. She likes the fresh-faced, natural mummy, when I've got my hair in a bun and no make-up on. Lila is quite prudish - she'll only wear a little bit of lip gloss or something. But she is into nail art. I think Lila is beautiful - she's so innocent and has that fresh face. She's gorgeous, but obviously she is my daughter."
Audrina Patridge has left Bongo to concentrate on her own designs. The reality TV star is stepping down as a spokesmodel for the brand after two years and while she has had a good time working with the company, she is looking forward to going it alone.
"Nothing lasts forever, so it's all good. It's been two years, so it's almost like a little family. The whole crew has been amazing - they made it really fun for me to work with them and travel. They were always so creative and they always made it special. I'm already looking into either lingerie or bikinis. I'm really excited about that."
Audrina also offered her tips for party style over the festive period, advising to "go all the way" with elaborate outfits. "[Festive] clothes are all about sparkles. You have to be festive. If you're going to dress up or you're going to decorate, you go all the way. I'll always add sparkly jewelry and red lips. When it comes to dressing for New Year's Eve, Audrina suggests upping the fun factor with lots of glitter: "Whether it's a sequin dress or sequin skirt, or leggings or something like that, it's fun. You can get away with making it a little more funky."
Liv Tyler to Sing in Givenchy Ad
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Liv Tyler is set to make her singing debut for Givenchy.
The actress - who has been the face of the Very Irresistible Givenchy fragrance since its launch in 2003 - has teamed up with the brand and Sony Music Entertainment to work on "an electrifying meeting between the world of rock and the universe of perfume."
Her interpretation of the song - which is yet to be revealed - will be produced by David Andrew Sitek and could be in the style of her dad, Aeorsmith frontman Steve Tyler.
Earlier this year, the 34-year-old star - who has appeared in a number of adverts for the LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton-owned brand - admitted she prefers her perfume to become "part of" her but she isn't keen on changing her fragrance because she likes it when people know her smell: "I like having one perfume that I wear all the time, so it becomes part of you. When someone remembers your scent, it's incredible. I don't like it when you first spray on a fragrance. It's nice when you've put it on in the morning, then in the evening, you can subtly smell it."
Karen Elson has returned to modeling for the first time since her split from husband Jack White.
The former Vogue cover girl - who has modeled on the runway for designers including Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs and Jean-Paul Gaultier - has posed for Banana Republic's Christmas Collection, following her divorce from the White Stripes singer. The striking beauty is seen wearing a range of party dressed and jumpers for the campaign, and has admitted she much prefers to give presents than to receive them.
"To be honest, I'm more of a giver. I love to find a gift that has meaning to the person I'm giving it to."
Flame-haired Karen - who is also a singer - has previously revealed she was labeled as a "freak" when she first started her modeling career: "It was all, 'You're the freak! You're the freak!' They would say, 'She's weird, she doesn't look normal. She's ugly.' I'd be backstage and every journalist would ask, 'You're a freak; how does it feel?' And I'd be like, 'I'm 18, I don't know how it feels, can I just go and smoke a cigarette, please?' but thank God that all happened because it changed everything!"
