The newest season of "America's Next Top Model" premieres on the CW tonight. This morning, show creator Tyra Banks and Vogue's editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley hosted a press breakfast to preview the coming season, which aims to be the most "high-fashion" season yet. (The winner gets two spreads in Italian Vogue.)

The aspiring models on ANTM are all 18 or older, even though the industry's newest girls are teenagers who are sometimes as young as 14. We asked Ms. Banks whether the models on ANTM were at a disadvantage? Should there be an age minimum on modeling?

Ms. Banks said that she recently met IMG Model's senior vice president Ivan Bart. "Ivan is not a fan of super-young girls anymore," she said. "He is so over parents sending their kids to Paris when they are 13, 14 years old."

"He doesn't want a girl doing a show season unless she's 16 years old," Ms. Banks added.

Banks added that she brought her model-contestants' age with Italian Vogue's Franco Sozzani as well. "She says that whole baby thing is a thing of the past," Ms. Banks said. "Now they want girls that are a little bit older. She says there's a little more of a strength in the eyes. Experience, life, the face starts doing different things."

"It's no longer that you have to be a baby anymore. I started at 15."
