Just a few quick snapshots of some of the shows today at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week. Nothing too special to report about today-it's been a long tiresome day- so I'll leave you all with these pics to admire and critic. Tell me what you think. Personally I love the tight hair-especially with a long straight ponytail at the back- at Camilla & Marc, which is the creation of Daren Borthwick. But I find that it always gives me a bit of a head ace afterwards and looking at the severity of these models hair I'd say that by the weeks end the girls are just going to be stumbling down the catwalk. That is if this trend continues to prevail through the rest of the week...talk about the pain of beauty, this is just plain suicidal! Not that that's ever stopped me before!!

The lucky lady will also be appearing at the Rosemount Australian Fashion Week reportedly with boyfriend Orlando Bloom up front and centre. What I would really like to know now is whether there is ever a week that goes by now without some form of news on the gorgeous dimple faced stunner? Answer: Ahhhhh NO! Which is just the way I like it!!!

How old is too young? Australian fashion Week News

Article: The Courier Mail, April 12-13, 2008, P.11

The recent buzz surrounding the up and coming Rosemount Australian Fashion Week has not been all that positive after event casting directors choose to fly in a 14yr old model from Poland named Monika Jagaciak. Monika a stunning 14yr old caused quite a stir after plans were released a couple of days ago making her the star model at Fashion Week. Influential members in the industry (Kirstie Clements, Vogue Australia's Editor-in-Chief) cried out in protest at the suggestion of a 14yr old girl heading down the runways, saying that girls of this age should be at school and not modeling in what is considered a cut throat adult industry. Organisers of the event then backed out of the deal with Ms Jagaciak. Creating a ban on all girls under the age of 16 from appearing on the catwalk.

The removal of the 14yr old has cleared the catwalk for 16yr old local Brisbane model and Sandgate state High school student Kristie-Lee Hughes. This shift has been heralded as a much more sensible option, giving exposure to 'the next big thing' in modeling who is also a local talent. This issue brought up the old debate about what age is too young on the catwalk and whether age limits should be set? With set age limits being the growing trend among fashion festivals it won't be long before Paris and other fashion capitals follow suit. Forcing the industry to take a much more realistic approach when selecting their models and the images that they wish to portray.
