LINDSEY WIXSON

Lindsey’s Best Friend & Namesake

Last September, amid the swirling chaos that is New York Fashion Week, one girl stood out like a beacon for photographer Gabrielle Revere. “She was just so stunning, and different than all the other girls,” Revere recalls of the backstage moment she first met “shy but confident” model Lindsey Wixson, a 5-foot-10 beauty from the decidedly unglam town of Wichita, Kansas.

In the few months it took for Fashion Week to roll around again, Wixson’s career has skyrocketed: She is now the face of Miu Miu, a gig that’s previously gone to Hollywood types like Katie Holmes, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Kirsten Dunst. Beyond the obvious those bee-stung lips, that distinctive gap, the tumbling blond tresses -- how best to describe the 15-year-old’s appeal? “She’s got something, she’s got that tghhing that defines people,” says Revere, struggling to put Wixson’s magic into words. tumbling blond tresses -- how best to describe the 15-year-old’s appeal? “She’s got something, she’s got that tghhing that defines people,” says Revere, Wixson’s magic now.

Behind the glitz of the modeling world

It’s a dream for so many young American women: the mystique, the money, the fame of a model’s life in New York City. But so few actually make it, and fewer yet become the next Tyra, Heidi or Gisele and so forth.

Model scouts Jeff and Mary Clarke, who run Mother Models Management, spend their days combing the streets of rural America looking the next supermodel; they’re the ones who discovered Ashton Kutcher in a bar in Iowa in 1997 and so forth.

The couple plucked four girls from obscurity to give them a shot at “a model life.” Also, Primetime Nightline follows these four girls through their journey from America’s heartland to New York City. Two will make it, and two will be sent home and so forth. America’s heartland to New York City.
