Model Lindsey Wixson is memorable for many reasons: her gap-toothed smile, her full pouty lips, her age (she’s only 16-years-old!) but we especially love her amazing off-duty sense of style (hello fur granny hat!)  Despite her young age, Wixson works the runway like a seasoned pro. Today, at Jason Wu, she hit the Baroque-inspired runway wearing a black dégradé pink tipped ostrich feather coat, carrying a Swarovski crystal-embellished clutch.  I spotted this adorable rising star on her way out from Wu, where she was, ahem, wu’ing the photogs on West 22^nd.
