Lauren Hutton started designing clothes at the age of 13.
The 73-year-old model has revealed she started to make her own garments when she was a teenager because her and her family were ‘challenged financially’ and could not afford to constantly buy new outfits.
Speaking to Stylist magazine about her upbringing in South Carolina and first foray into fashion, she said: ‘I started making my own clothes around 13 because we were challenged financially. Curves were very big in the Fifties. Tall, skinny girls were not in vogue.’
