A 14-year-old Polish girl has been dumped from Australian Fashion Week (AFW) after organisers bowed to public pressure to adopt a minimum age of 16 for its models.
The controversial decision to feature 14-year-old Monika Jagaciak in the major Sydney fashion event was reversed “in light of industry and community concern regarding the acceptable age for models”.
“Effective immediately, both male and female models participating in Rosemount Australian Fashion Week will need to be at least 16 years of age and must be represented by a model agency,” AFW said in a statement.
