The North Carolina teenager has been
embroiled in a number of underage modelling fiascos, including when she
walked for Marc Jacobs at the age of 14 and appeared in Vogue China
before her 16th birthday, seemingly flouting the magazine's policy not
to employ models under 16.
Vogue later claimed the spread had been commercial and therefore out of their jurisdiction.
