About the Author

Founder and main dude at Fashion Indie, Daniel Saynt began his career in fashion at the tender age of 14, when he worked in the stockroom for some unnamed fashion whorehouse. His distaste for the mainstream quickly festered until he decided enough was enough, denouncing all mainstream fashion lines (unless the stuffs on sale or just down right irresistible or free, you can't say no to free).

Get Your Tiny Tike Ass off My Runway!!!

Is that a low-fat juice box?

WWD is reporting that “Australian Fashion Week organizer IMG Fashion Asia Pacific said Friday that it will ban models who are under 16 years old.”

We’ve been going back and forth on the age/size model discrepancies for some time and we are uber happy that this ban is in place. Firstly, it is completely wrong to have women set a standard of excellence based on chicks that haven’t hit puberty yet. Secondly, it puts extreme pressure on girls who are too young to realize that sticking a finger down your throat to stay thin is not okay.

Bravo to Australia for kicking them young’uns to the curve. We hope that everyone else follows suit and enlists some size requirements pronto.
