Ashley Paige: the controversy

Filed under: LA Fashion Week, Fashion, News, Runway Report

On Friday, Deidre shared a video of the Ashley Paige show at Fashion Week in Los Angeles, which featured some nice bikini babes in cool retro swimsuits. But what seemed like a great show has actually developed into quite the scandal. The designer has been excoriated by conservative family advocates for her use of a very young model in a barely-there bikini alongside the other also scantily-clad adult models. One critic, Jean Terry has remarked that "Nearly naked models are not the kind of role models we want for our children...and young girls should certainly not be used to promote a promiscuous image." Paige has defended her decision to use the 10-year-old model claiming, "I think the women who like my stuff...exude sexuality."
