London Fashion Week claims that no girl under sixteen can walk on its catwalks.

Anna’s first reaction was, “Oh no, what about Johanna Stickland?”

My first reaction was, “Big talk and little girls, but why will things change?”

But then, another thought:

If London does succeed at rutting the junior high girls from their catwalks, and other cities follow, the girls who’ve just turned sixteen (and seventeen, and eighteen) have completely lucked out.

It means they get another 2-3 years to develop, expose, and attempt to oust the various Lilies and Julias before another new class comes to stake their clothing claim - so Irina K and Allie Michaels could get a little breathing room before the industry pegs them as a star or a stick figure (or both, as we’ve seen with Catherine McNeil).

Our favorite out of the new bunch is Georgia Frost, because she’s awesome (and pictured at left).

But how old is Tanya D, really?
