Naomi Campbell has taken a stand against child models and said that she doesn’t think under-16’s should be allowed to walk the catwalk – even though she herself started modelling aged 15.
The Sun reports that the supermodel is backing the campaign to ban young models at London Fashion week. Could it be because she doesn’t want youthful competition?
When asked if she thought some of the girls in the profession were too young, Naomi said: “My mother said no initially and understandably so. But a month or so before my 16th birthday she said ‘OK you can go and do this shoot’.”
However, she thinks it is down to the individual child: “If your child is healthy and buxom and you think that she’s able then it’s really up to the parent. But I understand why these rules have to be enforced.”
