I don’t know what the people at Vogue headquarters are up to, but what they’re up to is nothing short of high-fashion awesomeness. In Vogue Enfants Paris 2010, these little kiddies worked the camera like a professional model that has been in the industry for years.
Posing in a spread called "Grand Garçon," the kiddies look like they just came out of an episode of 'Gossip Girl.' The look they’re going for is more or less the "preppy" style. Who knew that kids who are barely 9 years of age can make a trench coat, overalls, button-down shirt, suit, and Converse shoes look that good?
I think it’s safe to say that these kids will have a good chance of becoming male fashion models in the near future.
