"The most beautiful girl in the world" provides for discussion

Her modeling career began at the age of three. Today, Kristina Pimenova is a children's model that is worn by all the great designers. Not so innocent of it: her planned performance on the social web, staged by her mother.

Russian Kristina Pimenova has starred opposite Roberto Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana, Benetton or Armani, was on the cover of "Vogue Bambini", has more than 2 million Facebook fans, 401, 000 Instagram followers and is consistently "the most beautiful Called girl of the world ". Sure, there are now many models that have become famous thanks to social media, but none of them is nine years old. Kristina Pimenova already.

Behind her profiles on the social web is her mother Glikeriya Pimenova . The post regularly random and asked pictures of her daughter. And even if all photos are "age-appropriate", without make-up, no sexy clothes or excessive posing, the question remains: is such an aggressive view of minors okay? A debate about the portrayal of children's models has already been sparked.

Because even if laws are to protect young models from the ugly sides of the fashion industry, there are always teenagers on catwalks and in campaigns. For example, Miuccia Prada hired 14-year-old Roos Abels for her Spring / Summer show, Cindy Crawford's look-alike daughter Kaia Gerber modeled Versace at 10, and 12-year-old Romeo Beckham regularly posed for Burberry. In addition, there are thousands of underage models who advertise children's fashion and labels season after season. The big difference with Kristina Pimenova : Although she has worked only in the children's section so far, she is treated like an adult.

Because even if the pictures of the 9-year-old Muscovite are anything but provocative, it does not prevent the network community, in comments on Instagram & Co. on their appearance, their "hotness" omit. Her body is judged, forecasts are made about her future as Victoria's Secret Model, so it does not help that her mother asks in a Facebook post that the account should remain child-friendly.

With the knowledge that there are a lot of weird guys on the internet, we ask: Should it still be alright to portray his child on the net, just in the name of fame, wealth and recognition? It used to be the "figure skating mothers", today probably the "social media moms" because the phenomenon is not new. For example, more and more junior athletes in the US now already have higher fan numbers than many an old hand in high performance sports. But there is a difference between whether a "like" is the special performance of an athlete, or the pretty face of a child who somehow reminds of supermodels like Amber Valletta or Alessandra Ambrosio . By the way, they were sent by their mothers to a model school as early as childhood. The story of Kristina Pimenova may just be a 2015 version of an old cycle. That does not make it any less disturbing.
