Everything You Need to Know About Supermodels | Vogue



Any successful model might be described as “super” but not every successful model is a “Supermodel.” That designation is most accurately used to describe a group of one-name-wonders who captivated pop culture in the late ’80s through the ‘90s. Hamish Bowles explains how Supermodels changed the world and paved the way for Instagirls.

  1. Interesting decision to not even mention Gisele but include Lila Moss, someone who under no circumstance would have ever booked a single job or even gotten signed to an agency if not for her mother.

  2. How was it that they were able to skip the Brazilian / Eastern European wave which ushered in the Supermodel era into the new millennium and basically paved the way for the InstaGirls? How can one skip and ignore the phenomenon that was Gisele???!!!

  3. Fight me, but my impressions of today’s „super models“ (talking to you Kendall, Bella, Gigi) is that they got into modeling because of nepotism, insta clout and the glamorous life style that comes with it and not because of the passion for the craft or real talent. They walk like horses and there is no grace and no charisma at all. I can only think of Imaan Hammam as stunning regarding the newer generation. Overall, nothing will ever beat the divine models of late 80s/beginning of 90s ✨ the nostalgia is real!
