Lindsey Wixson Teen Fashion Model

New York, London, Milan and Paris has a fresh new face that has set the trendy city a blaze with her pouty lips and gapped teeth.

Who is this runway model? Her name is Lindsey Wixson and she is 16 years old from Wichita, Kansas.

On the catwalk she has worn Marc Jacobs, Tommy Hilfiger, Jason Wu, Oscar de la Renta, and Yves Saint Laurent shows in New York, Miu Miu show in Paris, Prada show in Milan along with Jean Paul Gaultier, Chanel, and Christian Dior couture shows in Paris.

Shows with Nicki Ricci are just the beginning for the blossoming blue eyed model.

Fashionistas alike agree that what makes Lindsey special is that she is only going to be presented on a limited number of designer shows.

She has been described as being sweet and down to earth, from some of the industries top photographers such as Gabrielle Revere, and Valerio Mezzanotti as well as Tim Walker.

You have seen her face in editorials for fashion magazines such as Love Magazine, i-D, Pop magazine, Italian, Teen, and Turkish Vogue, W, V, Pop, Japanese Dazed & Confused and Interview.

The 17 year old was wearing a glamorous gown from the Versace Spring Collection in Milan when she slipped and fell.

It looks as if the young model tripped on her long evening dress while walking on the catwalk.

The high stilettos and long flowing gowns made of fabrics that drape in layers can make it difficult for runway models to walk safely.

Causing a media frenzy the gap tooth beauty was able to recover and continue on with the show.

All of Versace ankle boots and stilettos are high and that is why many models find them hard to walk in.

The free spirit of the young rising star did not go unnoticed by the movers and shakers over at fashion week who say she is the face of the future.

She is still in high school but she is focused on being a successful fashion icon like Miuccia Prada. Standing at 5 foot 10 inches and is lean which works well for many designer houses.

Miu Miu is a high fashion brand from the Prada fashion house, opened in 1992 and headed by Miuccia Prada. The name of the collection is taken from Miuccia Prada’s nickname.

As you are probably aware I would say the brand is going for a younger audience to sell their designer clothes to.

It has been described as young at heart, young and edgy, with handbags and shoes geared toward the Hong Kong is Miu Miu's single largest market in terms of sales.

Although she is very lean in her photo shoots, it is apparent from her face that she is not underweight or has a eating disorder simply because the face is one of the main places that this shows up.

Also her age is not a good indicator of what her final body image will be once she develops.

In the industry itself the designers have received criticism for having such thin models in the runway shows.

Spokesmodels for the brand have included:

• Katie Holmes
• Vanessa Paradis
• Kirsten Dunst
• Laetitia Casta
• Maggie Gyllenhaal
• Lindsay Lohan
• Zhou Xun
• Lindsey Wixson
• Ginta Lapina
• Siri Tollerod

Could Lindsey be the new face of fashion and an acceptance of healthy instead of a waif?

Many say that the gap in Lindsey Wixson smile is quirky and what makes her unique.

It could also bring back the normalcy to a world that is trying to sell everyone on the hype of fantasy.

Could it be that fashion is now saying it is okay to be yourself?

Madonna is just a few of the celebrities that have made a unique appearance with their gap tooth smiles.

Other trend setters include Georgia May Jagger, Lara Stone and Jessica Hart all have gaps in their front teeth.

Popular celebrities who have decided against having their teeth straightened are amy winehouse, Anna Paquin, Natalie Cole, Jorja Fox, Lauren Hutton, and Vanessa Paradis to just mention a few.

The spring 2011 face of Alexander McQueen brand by appearing in images on billboards and and websites winning consumers over with her angelic looking face.

The late Lee Alexander who died at age 40 was a British fashion designer and couturier.

His British tailoring, was popular for the female strength and sensuality with fragility in his collections, as well as the emotional power and raw energy of his provocative fashion shows.

He worked in French Haute Couture House Givenchy and founded his own label under the name Alexander McQueen in which Gucci is a majority stakeholder.

Celebrities such as Bojork and Lady Gaga have used Alexanders unique and futuristic designs in their music videos.

As in the case of the alexander mcqueen shoes armadillo, the 10 inch stilettos defy reality and put the wearer into another universe.
