Echoing you all, this is so inappropriate. A child of 10 should be having fun at school, playing with friends and their toys.. just being a child. I hate to think what foundation is being laid for this little girls future. I also don't get the point of it. Its not like Im going look at a 10 year old modeling clothing and think 'ooh I must try that''... it just doesn't translate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue/page/2#post-399204 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 10:26:10 +0000 Ornella 399204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only good thing about this thread is that it's adding some new brands to the list of those I'm avoiding. Which helps my shopping immensely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue/page/2#post-399202 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 10:11:04 +0000 Anonymous 399202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>eh NO, this is just food for the pedophiles out there. </p> <p>Actually, just a couple weeks ago, I stayed at a hotel where they were having a kid pageant competition. I saw the moms coming and going with their kids, as young as babies, wearing skimpy outfits, heavy makeup, false teeth, wigs, false eyelashes etc. I thought of my daughter at home and wondered why? especially when I saw the judges, eowww, there was this older gentleman who looked so creepy.... not my cup of tea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue/page/2#post-399129 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 04:39:35 +0000 rosee 399129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's unanimous -- 33 responses so far, all saying this is inappropriate (to say the least) rather than fashion. I worry about the preteens and teens that read French Vogue -- nevermind the unsavory characters -- that are influenced by these images. Apparently the 10-year-old girl has a facebook page with over 700 fans on it since the issue was released.<br /> What were her parents thinking -- other than fame and money!<br /> Isabel (MA) brings up a good point about Willow Smith too. And TylerAnne about Dakota Fanning. One step away from kiddie porn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue/page/2#post-399075 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 02:48:27 +0000 Suz 399075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's really disturbing and hugely confusing. I also think it's a large reason why women are more and more turning to blogs like this one in preference to the magazines. I know many people read both, of course. But I can't be bothered any more myself. I know the mags are selling a fantasy...but this is one fantasy I don't want to buy. And I can't tell what the clothes would look like, so I don't want to buy them, either! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue/page/2#post-399070 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 02:39:06 +0000 rae 399070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had not seen that Dakota Fanning add!

Are you serious?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue/page/2#post-399052 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 02:16:02 +0000 Annie 399052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ohh..I don't like that at all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue/page/2#post-398972 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 00:59:32 +0000 Jonesy 398972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing Isabel, I don't get it either, from any point of view.

It brings to mind something that has been really bothersome to me for over a year now and that is that Willow Smith ( Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith's daughter ) has been on the same trajectory and everyone just drools over. It is disturbing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue#post-398930 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 23:54:11 +0000 TylerAnne 398930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is appalling. I was actually disturbed by this ad featuring Dakota Fanning, and she is quite a bit older. But it still seems really inappropriate.</p> <p><a href="http://www.eonline.com/news/dakota_fannings_new_ad_pretty_cool_too/246915" rel="nofollow">http://www.eonline.com/news/da.....too/246915</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue#post-398921 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 23:40:19 +0000 yellowgirl 398921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is incredibly inappropriate; it makes me sick to my stomach.

If it were more "playing dress-up", then OK; however, this is too close to the edge of child exploitation. I'm very, very disappointed in Tom Ford, French Vogue and think her parents need to have an intervention. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue#post-398581 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 17:26:01 +0000 Louise 398581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally inapropriate x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue#post-398579 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 17:20:29 +0000 taylor 398579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>VERY disturbing, and repulsive..<br /> .I actually had a couple agency's approach me when my son was quite young after someone important saw him a a Kids R Us opening in the mid 1980's I was absolutely firm with my decision not to involve my child .<br /> Child predators lurk everywhere...they love this stuff! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue#post-398566 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 17:08:40 +0000 Lori 398566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every single person involved in this from her parents all the way up to French Vogue is SO very wrong on so many levels. </p> <p>This is as close to child pornography as you can legally get IMO - SHAME ON FRENCH VOGUE, SHAME ON TOM FORD AND MOST OF ALL SHAME ON HER MOTHER for selling her daughter's innocence. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue#post-398540 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 16:36:38 +0000 judy 398540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Creepy! </p> <p>French Vogue, what were you thinking? Emmanuelle Alt just took over, right?...and she has a young daughter. </p> <p>And sad too. </p> <p>I don't get it, when did it become a bad thing to be a young girl with no make up and no thought of what you looked like because you were so busy PLAYING? </p> <p> It's that "body as instrument vs. object" argument. We are so interested in what our bodies (maybe clothes too some times?) look like that we've forgotten what they are FOR...for enjoying life! </p> <p>Ok, off the soap box now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue#post-398535 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 16:24:38 +0000 rosee 398535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies. You all will get wisdom points.</p> <p>I have very strong negative opinions of this but they have already been stated.<br /> I do like how in the article that the UK lawmakers are looking to place restrictions on the use of children in advertising and modeling -- it's about freaking time, too!<br /> I wish her parents would be charged with child exploitation.<br /> French Vogue (on the news last night) claimed that they like to use provocative images as that what fashion is all about. I hope that it's French Vogues lowest selling issue ever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue#post-398529 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 16:15:07 +0000 lyn* 398529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the clothes and the postures are wrong ... all little girls go into their mommy's makeup bag and play sometimes, so I don't mind that as much. </p> <p>My friend's 5 year old recently decided to put lipstick on herself, the cat, and her sleeping daddy. So cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue#post-398528 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 16:14:50 +0000 Anonymous 398528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Creepy and sad that anyone would want to dress and pose a child like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue#post-398522 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 16:09:01 +0000 Elly 398522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think she looks very 10-- at least very similar to how I looked at ten (if someone would have done my eyebrows, anyway) and very trashy. I don't think anyone should encourage people to make their 10 -year-olds look trashy because after my experiences with public elementary school students today, there are enough people that already do that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue#post-398493 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 15:46:14 +0000 Ornella 398493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sick, disturbing and disgusting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue#post-398476 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 15:32:22 +0000 rae 398476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, you should do it!! Your models would sell tons of clothes... I buy more things based on what I see on YLF than any other form of media! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue#post-398474 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 15:31:13 +0000 rae 398474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. Just wow. I agree with Sparky: I am sick to my stomach over this! </p> <p>- The poses are very sexual IMO.<br /> - The makeup is also sexualizing... bright red lips, bedroom hair... open mouth... inappropriate for ANYONE under the legal age of consent.<br /> - That plunging V-neckline? What. the. heck??<br /> - Not only turns a child into a sex object, but seems to turn actual, sexually mature women into old maids before their time. No wonder the plastic surgery industry is so huge!<br /> - Idealizes a prepubescant body as the height of "womanly" beauty. I've had enough of a hard time being jealous of 15-year-old-slim hips - this is too much!<br /> - On a practical note, Fashion has once again made it impossible for me to know whether I'd look good in the clothes. And who's looking at the clothes right now, anyway? Seems like another disgusting move by an industry that rationalizes use of underweight models by claiming to aim for "walking hangers." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue#post-398468 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 15:22:08 +0000 Beth 398468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ew, ew, ew. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue#post-398431 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 14:48:33 +0000 morethanbeige 398431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wrong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue#post-398419 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 14:31:04 +0000 Angie 398419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get that teenage models model women's clothes. The world is OBSESSED with youth. Pre-teen models should model kids clothes and look like kids - after all that's what they wear. </p> <p>In fact, the teenage models that model women's clothes are also too young. They often don't wear the types of clothes they model either! That's why I want to start my own modeling agency </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-fashion-or-highly-inappropriate-10-year-old-invogue#post-398417 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 14:30:55 +0000 Mo 398417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you brought this up! I was reading Marie Claire and the fashion layout pics of 13 year old Elle Fanning were not right to me. But 10! They look more like made up dolls than ladies, even young ladies.

Lolita disturbing. Creepy! The attitude, the poses, the clothes do not lean towards kid playing dress-up, more to kid being sexualized and marketed. </p>
