Too Young For Couture?

There recently had been a controversy surrounding Thylane Loubry Blondeau, a 10 year old French model regarding an editorial that she did for Vogue Paris. The editorial was published a few months ago and had received some criticism that Thylane is too racy and over-sexualized for her age.

What do you guys think of her? I think she's really talented as a high fashion model, I can't believe she's only 10 years of age! For me, the spread is really mature for a 10 year old but I don't think that they're as racy as critics claimed them to be, since she's still fully-clothed in the photos, and not only is she wearing clothes, but high-end pieces to be exact!

  2. Hmm she definitely doesn't look like a 10 year old in the photos.. but as long as shes allowed to act like a 10 year old 'off screen' then that's fine!

    I hate how the media always blows things up n makes it a million times worse!

  3. oh wow, i cannot believe that she's only 10 years old. these photographs does look at little bit too mature for her but she rocked it! she look gorgeous in every single picture. I LOVE IT. although a younger atmosphere, clothes, and makeup would've been more appropriate.

  4. the pictures are great but i do not support what they did. her parents shouldn't have allowed it to go ahead - she's ten for crying out loud!

  5. She is going to be so gorgeous when she is older. I don't understand the decision to include such a young girl in a fashion magazine, as a consumer I don't want to look like a ten year old I want to look like someone who is my age for cripes sake.

  6. People who are gifted, they know what they are good at even at a very young age. So I don't see anything wrong in it. She does looks amazingly gorgeous.

  7. That's insane! I think it's kind of neat to do such a novel photo shoot; you certainly dont see it everday! I hope mags don't make a habit of it though, as something about this idea is not quite right.

  9. She's only ten years old?! Wow, she can pose for the camera really well. She's like a pro. But she's too young. I am sure she'll be better as she grows up.

  10. I've seen news about this young talented model all over. I thought she did pretty amazing in all these modeling editorials, and I agree with you, her photos are not that revealing anyway, maybe too much makeup but oh well, if she enjoys it, and if she got so much attention yet able to keep herself grounded, I thought y not, se's a prodigy afterall :)

  11. I think they are beautiful photos and she is a great model already but I do think some of the photos are too old for her time and could easily be seen as sexualised.
    I'm sure she will be great when she grows up!

  12. Nope sorry, I agree with the critics! She's depicted like a twenty-something and that is odd. She looks like a ten year old who's playing dress up with mum's clothing and make up. How can they put her in these high heels? This creates a totally wrong image for other young girls.
    The last photo is lovely, I think that's how they should present her to the world, namely the way 10 yeard old girls are: natural, playful and still a child.

  13. Wow she is so stunning.. I can't believe she is so young... I don't think the pictures of her are racy by any means, maybe a bit unnatural but it's high-fashion art! =)

    =D I'm glad to have found your blog! I really love the overall layout of it! I'm excited to see more posts from you -now following!

    Could you come check out my blog sometime?=)

  14. umm, i don't know how i feel about this. on one side, how talented is this little girl for looking like a full-on model at that age?! but that's just it, she's a little girl, i kinda feel like she's lost her childhood. the last one is okay, but the other ones are just too old for a 10year old.

  15. She's gorgeous but i guess I love her as a kid instead of a 10 year old girl who's being dressed as a 40 year old woman. the whole idea is rather disturbing to me.
