The era of the supermodels is over and there has been no replacement. Claudia Schiffer stated two years ago when he said that only in the case of Gisele Bundchen could use the term top model in a similar way to that she lived in Y. nineties and almost none of his colleagues could meet later.
The supermodels were a unique phenomenon. Women like Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford and Eva Herzigova went beyond the scope of their profession to become stars of the show.
They came out with actors, musicians, athletes or magicians, movies starred, restaurant chains opened and entered large amounts of money with your videos aerobics and pilates.
The new models are less women and girls
In a recent interview the Spanish model Nieves Alvarez, supermodels definÃ_aa flawlessly: " Naomi was the force, Christy Turlington, elegance... each represented something. Liked men and women. Today 's models are much more childish, anonymous and resemblance. Gisele is one of the few that still makes the canon over women. "
It seems you are right, just simply take a look at the "star" of the recent models parades to check.
A little history
Although the term " supermodel " is used since the forties and have been individual cases like the Twiggy English who managed to break into the collective imagination, had never been in the history of fashion one destacasen group of women as much as the top models of the 90s.
They were the product of a very specific time and place.
Much of the responsibility for the canonization of supermodels is attributed to Gianni Versace, who fostered his image group to join them in their parades. They also had their share of responsibility the rise of video culture and the cult of the body.
It was a fun time giving more prominence to a face and a great body that the clothes made by designers.
The reasons for the lack of relief
The big stars of the catwalk turned off and no respite. Some say, as Didier Fernandez, agent Linda Evangelista, before the industry enjoyed more freedom, today everything is so structured and organized as if it were a bank.
In a report published in the Sunday supplement of El PaÃ_s, Fernandez noted that were the magazines and designers who stopped supporting models.
Fed up with their whims diva and that they pay more than attentional them clothes, promoted easier to control dummies. And replace. " The top frustraciÃ_ny created much annoyed many people."
An era of supermodels exception off.
