Fashion-forward, 4-year-old boy is a runway model with an awesome hairstyle
Farouk James isn't old enough to start school yet. That's okay, though, he's busy with his successful modeling career.
With the help of his mother, Bonnie, Farouk has made a name for himself -- and his trademark curls -- on Instagram.

Bonnie also runs a YouTube channel, where she shares instructional hair care videos for other parents of kids with textured curls like Farouk's. Farouk is her model, of course.
Bonnie told BuzzFeed that when Farouk was around two years old, people on the street started recognizing him from social media.
"I was a bit concerned, as I want him to remain confident but I don't want him to have a huge ego," she said. "I want him to remain the kind, loving, sharing, friendly little guy that he is."
It doesn't seem like Farouk is having any trouble in that department.
And his career's not looking bad either. Farouk recently walked in his first runway show for Rich Boys during London Fashion Week.
He crushed it, naturally.
We have a feeling it was just the first show of many.
