What reason do you think is behind models becoming younger?

Is it just dirty old men wanting young, fresh, nubile, virginal poontang - and women responding to this? Perhaps if American women weren't so fat, this wouldn't be happening?

I didn't read the whole article, but here is the reason i think
They want to sexualize children when they are younger, ex our abercrombie and fitch in US. they wanna attract youger women and men into shopping world.

I can see attracting younger women into shopping, but why men? Or perhaps men are more willing to shop for young women rather than older women? (How many heterosexual men actually like shopping with women to buy women's clothes?)

I don't think people shoping for clothes are demanding 13 yo models.

I think the people that run the industry are more or less perverted and borderline pedophiles.

I've got to agree, but for slightly different reasons. The fashion industry is largely run by gay men, and I suspect they like their models to be as close to their own ideals of what they find attractive, so the women they chose tend to be, well, boyish in appearance. They lack boobs, have flat asses, basically no curves to speak of. What better than waifs and/or young girls to fulfill this archetype.

This.

It's always about the bottom line. By marketing designer wear to a younger audience, you bring in a whole bunch of new consumers.

Now little Abby is going to be nagging Mommy to buy her that $80 top that all her friends at school have.

very good analysis, never thought of it that way...

What does concern me though is that there are still plenty of non-gays in the fashion industry who more or less take advantage of the girls. Now if the girl is 18 and over, she has more self-control and knowledge of life, she can make better choices. But when she's 13...

Women are catty and competitive. Again, who better to employ than women who aren't a threat to their own looks? The very same women we see the fashion industry employ. You'll never see the fashion industry employ women like Maxim/FHM models for this very reason. Hot women with figures men drool for aren't going to be who they employ.

one incident i would like to share it with you guys
this november i was in columbus and was shopping by my self and walking in the mall (stip mall).
people were walkin, i saw two gays who are young walking just 10 feet away from me as i can see they are holding hands.

Three girls who are younger and among them one is like 8 yrs walking in the opposite direction. when the younger girl walk passed those phaggots, she was next to me in few seconds and says " why are all the gay guys hot"

This statement clearly tells how much effect of fashion and media is having on our children.

I was wondering what they are teaching in schools these days

Also, if you take morality and sexuality TOTALLY out of the equation, another thing to keep in mind is this:

The Fashion industry, just like many others, is a MACHINE. So, just like the NBA (...another machine), the younger your "product" is when you buy it, the more time you'll have to use it (...EXPLOIT it) to maximize all the profits that you can get from it.
