Girl Model

5. The new documentary Girl Model will have its US premiere next week at SXSW, and will be released in theaters this summer. The premiere comes at a good time, right as fashion month is coming to an end. The documentary delves into the weird world of prepubescent modeling, focusing specifically on a young model who moves alone from her home country of Siberia to Japan under the misconception that she will be making a minimum of $8,000 per week. The fashion community has recently been under fire for allowing underage models to work long and grueling hours, so Girl Model is sure to make waves with this hot-topic story. [Jezebel] [Photo via]
