Ask Chris Benz: How Can a Small-Town Girl Break Into Modeling?

by Chris Benz

Dear Chris,

I am 12, but I look 15 or 16. Everyone has told me to be a model/designer all my life and I believe I want to start looking now. But I live in a little town named Conway, in South Carolina. We aren’t known for anything but being country. I was born in Washington D.C, so I know a little about fashion but I have no idea how to approach the modeling world or anything like that.
