Toned, tall and super fit Angel Doutzen Kroes has spoken out about designers hiring child models ahead of London Fashion Week.
The Dutch Victoria's Secret star is shocked by how young some of the girls walking the runway are, and says the sample clothing sizes are so small and unrealistically proportioned that many professional models can't wear them.
She told The Telegraph newspaper: 'I'm not a sample size at all. At some shows I know they have been using very young girls who have not gone into the change of the body yet - no hips, no boobs. I'm 28 and I've had a baby
The stunning Dutch model admits she is shocked at the age and figures of girls walking the catwalks now-a-days
Despite her slim figure Doutzen, seen here on the Victoria's Secret runway, says she is too big for sample sizes
'I have a woman's body, and once in a while you run into the fact that things are not fitting the way they should be. But I joke about it and say "What 13-year-old girl is wearing this?"
'If they think I'm too fat, I'd rather not do the job - because I am super healthy and fit and I'm so happy the way I am.'
While the blonde bombshell - who has a two-year-old son, Phyllon, with her husband Sunnery James - is a fan of using social media to connect with her fans, Doutzen is worried she could be responsible for instilling body insecurities in teenagers.

She mused: '[Social media is] a tool you have to use. I enjoy reading what people have to say and answering... [but] I feel I'm such a big part of that insecurity that some girls might have because of my job, that girls think they have to be that picture.
'And even boys, they think that that picture exists and it's so frustrating because I don't look like that picture - I wake up not looking like that picture.'
Many famous models began their careers at very young ages, before their bodies had been through puberty.
Kate Moss was discovered aged just 14 by Storm model agency and her waif like prepubescent figure is credited with starting the size zero craze in the fashion industry.
Today many models begin their careers as young as 13, being signed to large agencies and kept on the books until they finish school and are old enough to legally start working as a full time.
Doutzen recently showed off her toned physique in a risque fashion shoot in Interview Magazine.
She posed naked alongside Miranda Kerr, 30, Toni Garnn, 21, Alessandra Ambrosio, 32, Candice Swanepoel, 24, Namibian model Behati Prinsloo, 24, and English model Jourdan Dunn, 23,
with her modesty protected only by careful lighting and a fur throw.

Discussing what makes women sexy on the shoot, Doutzen said: 'When you are comfortable with yourself, you exude an aura that is sexy.'

It is not unusual for models to start their careers in their teens, and most have waif like figures with minimal curves
