Runway model is getting good look. She was the face of an Australian fashion event, but there is just one thing—she first started walking the cat-walk when she was only 12 years old. And the question is, is that too young? Here’s NBC’s Net Colt.

Too thin! Last year the ferial in fashion was about size that a ferial size zero which might exist on but almost never offs the cat-walk. This year, this fresh-faced Australian model seems to have it all. She is tall, razor-thin and moves like a gazelle.

I can fit into women’s clothes; I can model women’s clothes. So I should be able to do it. But Madison Gabriel is in junior high and started modeling when she was just 12. She turned 13 on Sunday. But she models clothes for women twice or three times her age. Last year, politicians weighed into the size dispute, and this year is no different.

I don't think could she be allowed to be kids for as long as possible.

It raises questions of whether it makes sense for adults to use children as fashion role models. But they have, for years. Many supermodels got their start at just 14, and their issues of exploitation, pressure, immaturity.

I have a 13-year-old niece and I get chills when I think about it. There are plenty of 13-year-old girls on the runway right now. I just don’t think people ever really thought about it or discuss it.

Madison’s mother says her daughter can be both a girl and a young woman.

Well, these babies on TV, aren’t they? Doing commercials, gate on me, what, what is too young?

Here in Britain a group that oversees the fashion industry has an answer to the question of how young is too young. Advising designers not to allow anyone under 16 on the cat-walk! Madison doesn’t see what all the fusses are about. Her fashion statement: ‘It doesn’t matter what age, it matters that you can do the job.’ For today Net Colt NBC news! London!
