Young Models

These of course do not appear in every day life, but these models are extremely young in comparison to the market they are selling towards. Below, Elle Fanning is the face of Marc by Marc Jacobs. Is this a positive influence on children, does it push them to grow up faster to become more adult like, like the children in the photographs, or is it ok as they have children there own age as role models? 



Below Thylane Blondeau was photographed wearing heavy makeup and stilettos on animal print bed sheets for French Vogue. A provocative adult manner or a child dressing up? I have posted these two examples to my Facebook page, hopefully to gain some response. Click here to watch a video on the issue.
