Anna Selezneva

I meant the majority of models would be starting at 24, not the rare ones. Because at 24 you could see who had good habits formed in terms of lifestyle factors.
I agree with you to an extent, but then the issue (and the biggest issue imo) is that these (more privileged) models likely won't be as disciplined and willing to make sacrifices compared to their less privileged counterparts. It's like how American models are most likely to be labeled as brats. FT and some of the VIPs can attest to this. My view is that it's like picking from a large pool with a few diamonds vs. picking from a smaller pool with better quality overall but fewer diamonds. There are obviously pros and cons of each, but my preference (and bias) has always been to start young. :lol:

I was considering editing my post to reference this issue but then didn't. Same with malleability and the forming/critiquing of habits in the first place.
You complete me :)

Her birthday is in July. That would mean she started University at 16 because she signed one month after her 19th birthday then August 2007.
If that is true, then she is both one of the smartest and oldest looking just turned 19 year olds in the world

I think the issue is there is so much distortion about what age looks like. A young and an old looking 28 year old still both look 28. The issue is how believable the other end of the spectrum is.
There are 14 year old models presented as being in their early 20s, then early 20s actors/actresses playing teenagers in movies/television then mid 20s actresses playing mid 30s (Jennifer Lawrence).
Magdalena looks 30. She certainly does not look 20. She could pass for 24 at the youngest but she is a believable 30. Anna looks 30 too. I don't know one 30 year old with wrinkles. 30 year olds are not covered in wrinkles and damage.

Perhaps it's because of where I live. That plays a huge role too. Far fewer life stresses, later marriages, fewer children, office jobs etc which thus impacts the preservation process.



I meant the majority of models would be starting at 24, not the rare ones. Because at 24 you could see who had good habits formed in terms of lifestyle factors. 14 year olds all look the same regardless of their lifestyle and they are more likely to want to be risk takers etc than someone who has matured and experienced what they wanted and was done with it. They wouldn't find alcohol or partying some crazy adventure of being underage etc exciting. But then you have to deal with the side effects - e.g. impact on promoters etc. And the realistic difficulties of people having decided what they wanted to do with their lives etc. Also, it would drastically reduce the 'talent' pool because only those with specific socio-economic backgrounds would qualify - the ones void of life stresses, income to spend on skincare, time to exercise more frequently, choice if modelling was not sufficiently profitable or enticing to continue etc.
I understand the reality of the situation (and how unrealistic it is), this was the ideal I was referring to.

I am speaking from a position of privilege which demonstrates my need to remember my place and ignorance of other lifestyles and the reality of implementing it.
Even typing this out highlighted other factors I had not fully considered, so thank you :)

PS - Sorry everyone for going so far off topic!!!

I do think that younger girls generally tend to aim at looking older than they are or they just look older as is - which is why I think someone who is older but 'looks younger' (but really just looks their age)appears to look 'younger' just because of this disparity.

I honestly think the styling and hair of this show was the most beautiful I've ever seen her, Snej, Natasha etc - with the natural makeup - because it really shows their true beauty. And for me to find them at their most beautiful says A LOT, since they look absolutely positively gorgeous all the time and make money doing so. <3

What show is it from?

With you entirely. Got to be in my favorite top ten shows of that decade:
 


Cliffs notes -
  • she loves her job,
  • after her first season she fell ill for 3 weeks
  • she understands fashion week more now - names, locations, exhaustion etc
  • opening Balmain her second season was her career trigger point
  • she is considering working in the music industry post modelling (was when this video was shot)
  • she wants to have a family someday (was when this video was shot)
