As long as he keeps them dressed! That girl is showing less skin than 14 year olds walking the everyday streets.
Please Marc Jacobs, continue dressing these girls.

When it comes to the catwalk, how young is too young? Marc Jacobs is under fire for sending two 14- or 15-year-old models down the runway at New York Fashion Week, The New York Times reports. But Marc Jacobs defended his use of the teens, Thairine Garcia and Ondria Hardin (pictured), in his show on Monday.
"I do the show the way I think it should be, and not the way somebody tells me it should be," Jacobs told the Times. "If their parents are willing to let them do a show, I don’t see any reason that it should be me who tells them that they can’t. There is no controversy," he said.
But, in fact, there is a little bit of a controversy. The Council of Fashion Designers of America asked designers not to use models under the age of 16 on their runways during Fashion Week, the Times reports. Most designers complied ... but not Jacobs.
That said, the "rule" is kind of optional. "The guidelines are suggested recommendations. They are not mandatory requirements. Each season we hope designers will follow them but it is really up to the designers to decide," CFDA President Steven Kolb told the Times. Do you think 14- and 15-year-olds are too young to walk the runway? Or is this a big deal over nothing?

But, I really do hope that he takes their age into consideration when looking for someone to model risque/revealing clothes, and takes their age into consideration if he needs to criticize their modeling.
And weight.
PS Two sisters, both models, both die of "malnutrition"
Not starving? He has 90 pound models.
His adds were banned for sexualising children.
Example:
How could you not see that as F'd up?
Very young and went on to live a normal life while getting a great Education not to mention NOT turning up on some rag magazine in a panty-less drunken stupor like some of the girls we've been seeing the last 15 years! Good parenting is the key here not the age of models on the runway!
