What Stores Can A 13-Year-Old Model For?
I'm interested in becoming a model. I'm 13 and around 5'4 and still growing. I weight about 90 pounds. I like stores like Hollister, Aeropostale, Brandy Melville, and Nordstrom, etc. I also like online stores, which are always accepting models of any age, height, and such. I've even been spoken to by many of the owners of online stores such as Wild Daisy. But I want to take my modeling to another level by modeling for stores like Brandy and such. My parents have given me permission to join an agency, and I've had an agent in the past for acting, but not modeling. I quit with her because she was inexperienced and haven't had an agent since.
I'm wondering what stores accept 13 year olds as models? Please answer nicely. No hate!

In the fashion/entertainment business, they usually hire people that are older than the target demographic. That's why you see a lot of 20-something year olds modelling for teen brands and playing roles of teenagers. I'm not trying to offend, but you could start off at a place like PS from Aero, Justice, brands that are for people of all ages (like Ralph Lauren or Tommy Hilfiger) or even model for department stores (like Macy's/Kohl's).
You might not like the stores you model for, but when you first start off, you don't have many choices. After all, beggars can't be choosers- if you don't take the job, there's always someone else who will. That's how you build experience and years later, you'll have more offers to choose from.
Selena Gomez was 8 years old when she was on Barney, and she was definitely older than the target audience (preschoolers). If you can't accept modelling for children's lines, then modelling is not for you.
