Backstage Peek

Since most models are scouted at 13, have their first real job around 15, and then celebrate their heyday until their 22nd birthday, the combination of school and work is a difficult but necessary evil. While they are building and mapping out their careers, the teachers also want attention; such a diploma doesn’t come for free. The result: backstage at the shows, you trip over models doing homework. While the best makeup artists, hairstylists, and designers are picking at them, they are struggling with the Pythagorean theorem and Sin Cos Tan (remember that). And while they make their run on the catwalk, they are still rehearsing some French and German vocabulary for the test the next day. Or well, that’s how I can imagine it. You can only encourage beauty and brains, so three cheers and applause for this perseverance.^e, Since most models are scouted at 13, have their first real job around 15, and then celebrate their heyday until their 22nd birthday…^e Since most models are scouted at 13, have their first real job around 15, and then celebrate their heyday until their 22nd birthday, the combination of school and work is a…^e Since most models are scouted at 13, have their first real job around 15, and then celebrate their heyday until their 22nd birthday, the combination of school and work.
