Having been checking out the new A/W 2011 campaigns, the team at Talent Management has been surprised to see a few new faces on the modelling scene – from 17-year-old Kelly Mittendorf, who’s first major modelling job just so happens to be for Prada, right through to 45-year-old Helena Bonham Carter, who has just become Marc Jacobs’ newest muse.

We love to see diversity in the modelling industry and the emerging A/W 2011 campaigns prove how different-aged women can be positive role models for young people – whether it’s a young girl just starting out her career or an older woman proving she’s confident enough to model at any age.

With all the current coverage on size diversity, it’s easy to forget that issues surrounding age also have an impact, with well-known celebrities embarking on Botox procedures before they’re even out of their teens.

So we think it’s great to see that the fashion scene is beginning to take the appreciation of all ages seriously, as well as differing sizes, shapes and ethnicities.
