20 Moments that Rocked the Fashion World in 2011



14. The Thylane Blondeau modeling scandal:
Carine Roitfeld found herself in some hot water for a sultry spread featuring very young girls in the Tom Ford-edited December/January 2011 issue of Vogue Paris. One of the models was 10-year-old French stunner Thylane Blondeau, and it came to our attention shortly after that there was a Tumblr solely dedicated to pictures of her. While the majority of the photos were tasteful, age-appropriate, and showed off Thylane’s incredible beauty, the inevitable backlash came—and fast. Not only did this story hit Good Morning America, Thylane’s own mother got involved, posting an open letter on her Facebook page before shutting it down for good.
