Luxury group Kering has announced that the company -- which oversees designer houses including Gucci, Balenciaga, Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen and Bottega Veneta -- will no longer be working with models under 18 years old. The new casting policy for fashion shows and photo shoots is slated to take effect in 2020, with the Fall-Winter 2020/2021 fashion shows. “In our view, the physiological and psychological maturity of models aged over 18 seems more appropriate to the rhythm and demands that are involved in this profession,” company exec Marie-Claire Daveu echoed. The daughter of Cindy Crawford made her runway debut as teen, as fashion legends Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell did decades before her, as noted by the outlet. Gerber recently walked for Saint Laurent’s Spring/Summer 2019 show in Paris.
