Beauty & Marlin US Magazine - July 2021

In this issue

Despite her success Jagaciak's young age and presence in the fashion industry caused huge controversy when, in 2008 at the age of 14, she was deemed inappropriate for Australian Fashion Week. After getting some criticisms about sexualization of young models in the fashion industry, organizers of Australian Fashion Week ruled that all children under 16 years old be banned from walking at the shows in Sydney. Jagaciak, who felt she was old enough, thought the decision was "stupid". The question was never asked of Gemma Ward, who was 15 when she made her Australian Fashion Week debut in May 2003 or of another Australian model, Tallulah Morton, who was 13 when she made her debut at the event two years later. Her mother, Marlena, said she accompanied her daughter on assignments and would never put her in danger. Jagaciak's mother believes her daughter has enough support to handle the tough industry but does not resent Australia's ban.
