That’s truely fucked up!

I’m sorry, but I don’t class a ten year old in a dress with a VERY low neckline as ‘art’.

This is freaky.

disgusting, as a mother it sickens me

Stop giving out and fight Back. Hit the corporates where it hurts. Don’t buy the clothes, mags, music, everything that sexualises kids. Take control back. We do have choices. F them all.

that is sad

Art me hole!

WTF? That’s not right…

Wrong, so wrong

What sort of parents would let their ten year old daughter pose for this, though she is obviously very beautiful. Goodbye Lolita…bring back childhood, there’s loads of time to grow up, wear make up, look sexy but it’s definitely not aged ten!

This is wrong on so many levels. I am gobsmacked, no doubt its because us peasants just don’t understand "art".

I guess Vogue have no shame. After all, their brand has hit the headlines and there is no such thing as bad publicity. Its a win – win situation for Vogue. Very distasteful marketing tactics in my opinion.

it is disgusting to allow a child to be photographed like this, her parents are a disgrace

So the argument goes thus:

“It’s wrong to sexualise children.”

“But it’s art, and it depends on the subjective experience”

It’s not really art. At all. To think that this is the brainchild of some artist would be silly. Looks more like an ill-advised project given to some poor marketing director who had to walk a line between keeping his soul and flogging overpriced branded crap to kids and parents who don’t spend time with their kids.

That’s messed up.

I would not buy it at all as I can think of better ways to spend my money than to be told by someone in an office how to dress, were to holiday etc. although vouge are wrong on many levels to commision a shoot that is provocative and exploitive of a 10 year old girl, she is too young to decide for herself if she wants to be seen in certain light. ultimately it all falls to parental responsability which there seems to be an apalling lack of in society today. I have a child and I censor everything he watches and listens to. take rihanna, " teen idol" have you listened to her track s and m!! I think its time parents took back control and raise children as they should be raised, as kids with a happy carefree childhood that can be filled with healthy innocent memories. stop buying explicit music, dvds, put parental control feature on tv and internet and spend more quality time and listen to your kids, they have all there lives to behave like adults

Art ?? I don’t think so

Beautiful kid and that’s what she is at ten years old a "kid" she has loads of time for them type of photos when she is older

Her parents are to blame taking her here there and yonder for these photos shoots

Pretty horrible thought that any parent would see this as something which is ok. It seems to be the way of the world now unfortunately. Sure, people will show outrage over stuff like this, but there is some double standards at play too. My own nieces for example love Rihanna.. now in my view, some of the material in her videos and the lyrics of her songs are insidiously explicit. It could be said that it to ‘sexualises’ kids in a way, yet the stuff gets hours upon hours of playtime on the radio and nobody seems to give a hoot.

Cant say i approve.

That’s truly disgusting

That’s just so wrong on so many levels, her parents are appalling for allowing it.

This is highly disturbing and women should boycott Vogue. This is way way way over the line.

I blame the greed.

Not suitable at all too young

I agree with all you guys..it’s sad!
I would like to know what perve is giving the thumbs down to ye????
Mr/s Perve doesn’t comment though!!!
Shame on vogue

Borderline child porn. Vogue should be brought up for that. Also the people giving thumbs down on the previous comments must be perverts!!

Grey area I am afraid, it’s the make up I don’t agree with but…… How many of you have dressed your kids up this year, last year , previous ten years like mini brides at there communions?????????? in an institution that raped, buggered, orally raped children for decades.. In MY opinion you are as bad, if anyone had a modicum of respect or apathy for any person who was abused by the church , you would not go to church… Simple… Irish people are full of bravado over a Guinness ( I am Irish btw) oh this is wrong, that is wrong and still do fuck all about it, so, in conclusion if you still dress your child up and take her /him to your local church , you are worse than those French parents.

Aside from the sheer creepiness of making a ten-year-old look “sexy”, what about the ten-year-old sexy clothes they’re designing for her to model? Are they expecting to start selling this kind of stuff to other ten-year-olds some time soon? I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised though; after all, bikinis for four-year-olds have been on the market for years now.

How the f**k is that art? That is exploitation of a child plus child labour. Probably aimed at getting some old sickos to buy their idiotic magazine. Whoever still buys this, supports that and should be ashamed!

That’s just not right or normal.

Poor little girl, she should be still playing with her toys not made to look like an adult. Too soon they grow up.
What kind of a mother has she,if she was slapping her the child would be taken into care.

That is disgusting. Should the Journal even be showing the pics though? :/

Sickening and wrong ten your old girls should still be acting like tomboys, it’s ridiculous the way pop culture in general is effecting kids. When I was a teenager girls didn’t even start wearing make up till they were 15 or 16. Also I find people who plaster pictures of there children all over Facebook just as bad.

I’ve been telling my 13 year old daughter that she will be a grown up for a lot longer than she will be a child so she should enjoy her time as a child as long as she likes. The range of clothing offered to young girls is also inappropriate, and as long as people keep buying clothes for their children that makes them look like miniature women then people will go to extremes, i.e photograph them like this. This is a disgrace, the little girl should be in her jeans and t-shirt, out playing with her friends, cycling her bike or playing with her toys. When will the adults that treat their little girls like women grow up themselves? I am not sick and I don’t see this image as art…. it’s exploitation!!

Let the child be a child. Is there no reasonable adult in this child’s life to protect her?

Why can a magazine get away with this?
If a “normal” person put pics of their kids up on Facebook dressed like this they would not have many friends left, and everyone will distance themselves from them, quite rightly too.
When a magazine like vogue do it, it sparks debate etc etc, this is sort of like the Property developers getting away with owing millions and John and Mary being threatened with repossession.
I remember something like this from about 15 years ago, it was exactly the same thing, photos of a young kid on a fashion mag, Outcry, its art, etc etc same old argument, but it is fundamentally wrong.

For those of you that scan comments instead of reading them, I think its wrong to have children displayed thus, however Vogue will remain in business and we`ll be scratching our heads.

I’m here for the thumbs up. Seems loads are going free!

Truly disturbing. What clown called this Art. It is nothing more than soft core Child Porn. The magazine needs to be prosecuted. The parents are simply unfit and should be made answer.
Too many childless arty farty types in the fashion industry dressing young girls like sluts and tarts.
It needs to stop but as long as the magazines keep selling nothing will change. Sad.

such a pretty girl…
too early for the kind of shoot though..

Stop pissing and moaning it’s on TV every day, stop pretending it’s something new. You can dress a 10 year old any way you like and it won’t suggest jack shit to a normal person.

Social workers should immediately interview the parents of this child. They should be supervised on a regular basis as they appear to be unable to make fundamental decisions regarding the welfare of their child !

I agree with Maria Tang.

Have you ever watched “Toddlers and Tiaras”? Isn’t that as bad or even worse?
Little girls trained to be little brat barbie dolls since they are in dippers… That’s approved and on TV…so i really can’t see much difference…

is this article taken word for word from the daily mail app?

What about the 13 to 15 year olds that are modelling at fashion week accross the world? This sort of practice is going on all the time, exploiting children or young teenagers is the norm for big fashion co operations. What vogue has done from my point of view is show what’s really happening. I don’t agree with what they do as I think kids grow up far to quick under normal circumstances never mind when they are being paid to be clothes hangers but I would love to hear what this childs parents think of the pictures. Do they see dollar signs or their innocent child. I reckon dollar signs cause I know that as a mother myself and anyone that would attempt to publish anything like this would have a very big fight on their hands!

Vote Norris!

That’s t

Hands up who’s conservative? If anyone is looking at these pictures as they are trying to be sexy it is missing the point, the idea is high fashion/art, it might to many people have missed the mark. But in no way is it exploitive of the child.

Meh. It’s not like anyone can see anything, so it’s not childpr0n and therefore within the law. I don’t understand all the commotion. Pervs are bound to think dirty thoughts about children regardless if you dress them sexually or not, and normal people won’t think of harming children regardless if you post sexual images of children or not. It may be a distasteful sort of advertising, but whatever, it’s still within the line of law. And besides, seeing all this commotion, I think the photos are doing their job well – distasteful it may be, but it’s a smart move of Vogue.

Girls that age want to look like an adult… make up/high heels … If you see this (knowing it is a ten year old) as sexual you are the sick one and not the photographer or Vogue!
