New York Sets Work Rules for Young Models
A new legislation that will limit the working hours of underage models has officially been signed into law. New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed the legislation on Monday night that now regards fashion models under the age of 18 as child performers. The law, which will go into effect in 30 days, is likely to have a huge impact on casting for New York Fashion Week.

JACOB - Sans photoshop. A few months ago I announced the partnership between Jacob and myself on their fall 2011 campaign with a new “no retouching” policy - I’m happy to show you the first image from that campaign! Does this mean I’m now anti-photoshop? Absolutely not. I know what a valuable artist’s tool it can be in the right hands. What I really admire is the fact that Jacob is trying to balance the scales a little by pulling so far back from what has been the current trend of total digital model manipulation. I don’t expect that all brands will jump on board and cut out photoshop use, neither do I think that it’s necessary - but I do hope that this campaign might help some in our industry stop and think about what the public really wants to see before they shrink another model down to an impossible size. Bold move? Lasting trend? We will have to see.
And yet, she still looks flawless. Le sigh.
Time to start carefully tearing down my "wallpaper" so I can paint.
