Follow on Google News | Models Direct: Diane von Furstenberg Accidently Uses 15-Year-Old Model At Fashion WeekModels Direct was happy to hear that Diane von Furstenberg took measures to ensure models were treated well during Fashion Week.
By: Jennifer Denby We at Models Direct (http://www.modelsdirect.com) However, perhaps having the guidelines in place is not enough given that von Furstenberg mistakenly used 15-year-old American model Hailey Clauson in her latest autumn/winter 2011 show. "As you remember, I sent you all a letter prior to the shows, emphasising healthy models and diversity, and reminding you of our Health Guidelines," "One of the guidelines, as you know, is not to hire models under 16 in addition to making sure that all of them are properly fed. Well, it is to my horror that I discovered last Friday that in spite of me repeating that to my production and casting people, one girl slipped through the cracks. One girl who will be 16 in March walked my show last week!" But, ever the professional, von Furstenberg has found a solution to prevent the problem in the future.
