Introducing Lindsey Wixson
Lindsey Wixson began modeling at the age of 12 in her hometown of Wichita. Then Steven Meisel decided to shoot her for Italian Vogue after seeing a video she’d posted of herself on Models.com. After walking for Prada and Miu Miu, she gained exposure and is now the face of Miu Miu’s spring 2010 campaign. At 15 years old. A press release about the campaign calls Wixson the “embodiment of a free-spirit on the cusp of womanhood.” And remember when looking at her career highlights, she has achieved all of this before she can even legally drive a car!
