Supermodel, 13, Causing Waves On Runways

Item: How young is too young for girls to model? World’s first supermodel worries what could befall 13-year-old Australian/Mike Celizik, iVillage

More Info: Maddison (Gabriel) turned 13 on Sunday; she was still 12 when she was chosen as the “face” and official ambassador of the Gold Coast Fashion Week in Australia. At 5 feet 7 inches, the blue-eyed girl has the looks and the moves to model clothing — some of it provocative — designed for women two and three times her age.

Question: Is 13 too young to be a model?
