Fashion week is a trying time for the most experienced of models. The late night fittings, 6am starts, layers of different makeup, and three shows with three hour advance call times every day for a week usually leaves the toughest of girls overworked and exhausted. Model of the moment Lindsey Wixson has the added pressure of being just 17-years-old and having only been a fixture at the shows since spring 2010 - when she was on exclusive for Prada and Miu Miu - has not had much time to get used to the craziness.
Her show-stopping first season led to W Magazine running a full page of her bee stung lips and gap toothed smile and campaigns quickly followed, propelling her instantly to top model level. Born in Kansas, where she still lives with her parents, Lindsey makes the trip each season to New York, London, Milan and Paris for the fashion shows. The Telegraph met up with the teen sensation at New York Fashion Week to get an insight into her life at the shows, and just to hang out with the sweetest supermodel you could ever meet.
