BACKSTAGE PEEK

Since most models are scouted when they’re 13, and probably book their first real job at about age 15 with glory days until they’re 22, the combination school and work’s a difficult yet necessary thing. While they’re working on their careers, teachers like to get attention too because you won’t get a diploma without putting in the effort. The result: you’ll trip over models doing homework backstage at shows. While the best makeup artists, hair stylists, and designers are fidgeting around and on her, they’re working their ways through Sin Cos Tan (remember). And while rehearsing their run on the runway, they’re also memorising French and German words for the test the day after.Or well, I can imagine. Beauty and brains should only be stimulated so hurrah hurrah for their perseverance.
