Model agencies and skinny & teenage models debate |

"My feeling is that the agency is the mother of the model, or the father of the model, or the guide of the model. We're taking this on as CFDA and the designers, but they are only given to us by the agency themselves," says UK-based designer Donna Karan stepping into discussions on skinny models. Other are concerned about the problem of young models. "The social problems we have in Brazil mean that many families are willing to let their 13-year-old daughters move and live with people they've never met. But this is why there are more top models now from Brazil and Russia than anywhere. It would be very unusual for a mother in a country like France to do something like that," said Anderson Meyer, marketing director of Daphne agency in Brazil.
