    Underage Kylie Jenner to model at Fashion Week illegally

    Kylie Jenner is only 14 years old, but plans on modeling at New York Fashion Week. Photo by Getty ImagesKylie Jenner is only 14 years old, but plans on modeling at New York Fashion Week. Photo …When it comes to the Kardashian family we're used to Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe hogging most of the attention, but their little half-sisters Kendall and Kylie are getting hungry for the spotlight. Fifteen-year-old Kendell signed to Wilhelmina models last year, and the youngest sister, 14-year-old Kylie, is set to make her runway debut at New York Fashion Week on Monday at the Abbey Dawn by Avril Lavigne show.

    We're sure Kylie Jenner is psyched on the gig, but according to the new rules imposed by the Council of Fashion Designers of America, all models are supposed to be 16 and older! The CFDA's updated health initiative guidelines said all the top modeling agencies have pledged to not send out girls who are under 16. The CFDA has even requested that all designers check their ID cards to make sure they are at least 16 years of age. Interestingly, Jenner's birth date has just disappeared off her Wikipedia page, but she recently made tabloid reports for celebrating her 14th birthday recently on August 10.

    So how did the youngster land the gig? We're guessing it has something to do with the fact that singer/designer Avril Lavigne is dating Kylie's half-brother, Brody Jenner (whom you may recall from MTV's reality show "The Hills"). According to Women's Wear Daily, the 14-year-old will model three outfits at the Style360 event at the Metropolitan Pavilion. The trade magazine guesses that Brody, Kendell, and maybe even Kim or Kourtney might make a front row appearance at the Abbey Dawn fashion show.

    Will Kylie Jenner be allowed to walk the runway on Monday? We're guessing there's some kind of loophole since she's a friend of the designer and it's just one show, but if the CFDA wishes to stick to their guns they may not permit it.

    • Narangah  •  8 months ago
      She doesn't look 14 because she's like 5'10". And yes, Kris knows the world is tired of the Kardashian sisters so she's totally pimping out the Jenner girls now. Sad.

    • Mia  •  8 months ago
      Wow, I was waiting with baited breath for this information!!

      The same rules don't apply to celebrity family members.

      Avril Lavigne's clothing like is skewed towards a younger audience(the whole thing screams teenager to me). So perhaps she's allowed in because the line is for teenagers. Fashion week allows young children to model kids clothes.
    • Kristina  •  8 months ago
      She looks 22 not 14.
    • Abbie  •  8 months ago
      Agreed!!!

      The point of the article is that she's underage and will be modeling even though she's obviously too young (although she'll probably get away with it via some hush hush money). No one really cares if the author got her and Brody's relationship wrong.

      I'm of age now, but no one cares, and unless you're a celebrity who people know well, no one will think twice about you're age as long as you look older than you are, like most models do. I modeled two years in a row for fashion week illegally, lol.

      She's going to get knocked up, a couple std's, gang raped after being drugged at an after party or all three. One of them is bound to happen.
    • anonymous  •  8 months ago
      Her name is Kendall, not Kendell.
    • Melina  •  8 months ago
      No surprise here. Celebrities always get preferential treatment. Who would want to be caught dead in Avril Lavigne wear anyway?
    • young once too  •  8 months ago
      wow-- what's kris going to do when she runs out of kids to pimp?
    • RobynV  •  8 months ago
      Sorry Becca, Brody is a step brother to the Kardashian sisters and a half brother to both Kylie and Kendell. If Brody is Bruce and his ex wife's kid, then he shares the same dad as Kylie and Kendell which is half... but he shares no blood relation to the Kardashian sisters, so they are step.

      I find this dumb. It isn't like she is being forced to do this - it's probably going to be one of the highlights of her whole life (so far).
