Supermodel of the World

Gwili Andre

Helena Christensen

Apollonia van Ravenstein!

These women are photographed and reduced down to a two-dimensional manipulated image.

There is nothing "super" about them at all.

Christie Brinkley was the first model who became a household name like a movie star from modeling alone

Veruschka

Tula

Carmen Dell'Orefice

I love the cover at r8. It reminds me of this one of Linda photographed by Demarchelier when Liz Tilberis was at the helm.

The longer Wintour reigns supreme at Conde Nast, the more I miss Tilberis.

How come all the people here so far are females?

Men are infinitely more interesting.

Suzy Parker

Ypir

Jean Shrimpton

Cindy was my favorite back then.

R10, Marcus Schenkenberg was it for me.

Here you go R10, the effortlessly beautiful Tyson Ballou

Dorian Leigh

Supermodel Birth Certificate that George Michael saw and chose to cast all of them instead of himself, in his Freedom video

Twiggy.

Supermodel Biker Gang Takes Manhattan

Tatjana Patitz

Disagree R4. Supermodels own the runway too.

Carol Alt.

As a kid there were always magazines in the house and I remember Suzy Parker being famous.

She doesn’t quite qualify as a supermodel, but I always thought Carre Otis was just stunning. And very sexy.

Paulina Porizkova did the never-smiling thing a full decade before Posh Spice

Carrie Otis also my favorite, unique beauty

Cindy, Naomi, Claudia.

Karen Graham - The face of Estee Lauder

No DL thread about models is complete without a reference to Gia Carangi, so...

Gia is before my time

Renee Simonsen. Became a psychologist as I understand.

Her son died recently, r34. Only 24.

Renee was my favorite when I was in my late teens. Her face was almost impossible if that makes sense. Huge smile, big lips, teeny nose, cat eyes, high cheekbones.

Beri Smither was so gorgeous but she developed a drug problem and had to quit. Loved her name too.

Does Cheryl Tiegs count, or does she not have enough haute couture bonafides?

Beri Smither returned to modeling (or at least she still models occasionally). She has recent pics up on her Instagram, she still looks good

[quote]r37 Does Cheryl Tiegs count, or does she not have enough haute couture bonafides?

Well, she made the cover of Time magazine, so I think in the eye of the general 1970s population she suddenly was. Any technicalities aside.

The 1970’s really liked to pluck its eyebrows

La Dunaway did that in NETWORK (1976), too.

Linda and Christy - if you don’t work the runway you’re not a supermodel.

I’d include Naomi but she fell on the runway.

Linda and Christy never fell.

The divine Dovima

I always thought Jean Patchett had a great look

^Beautiful skin and sweet face

Garrett Neff

R10 Men are great at a lot of things, but women will always be better at modeling

Niki Taylor fell to earth with her bikini glamazon body like a cross between Christie Brinkley and Cindy Crawford

She even guest-hosted Cindy's show House of Style and, like magic and like Christie, snagged the lucrative Cover Girl contract which Cindy never had

DL fave RJ King

Suzy Parker and Twiggy, noted above, would definitely qualify as "supermodels" under today's definition, so if you're applying it in retrospect, Suzy Parker wins as she was the first (in the 50's). However, the first time the "supermodel" term was actually used was with Cheryl Tiegs in the 70's.

Google her name you'll see she is called "the first supermodel".

Renee Simonsen at a birthday party with Duran Duran

There's no male supermodel because fashion is mainly targeted to women and women care far more about it than men do. Supermodels simply exist to market fashion. If more men spent money on fashion on par with women then there would be male supermodels. But most men need to prioritize their income and status rather than looks in order to attract a mate. Women rely more on their appearance.

Modeling is about expressing emotion with your face which men spend their lives trying not to do

R48 yeah great body but she was never pretty.

I agree Christie was the first .

Elle MacPherson, Rachel Hunter, Carla Bruni, Rebecca Romijn, Karen Mulder, Elaine Irwin are models who have been labeled as supermodels by proxy

R54 yeah prettier than you

First model whose name I heard as a celebrity was Twiggy. The first model I remember being a supermodel--i.e. in the news because of her contract was Lauren Hutton, followed by Cheryl Tiegs, then Christy Brinkley and then the group we think of as supermodels--Cindy, Linda, Christy, etc.

Forgive me if I’ve told this before but in the early nineties I was minding my own business on South Bondi beach in Sydney when two people arrived and parked themselves along side me. I’m pretty territorial about personal space at the beach but I relaxed that rule when I realised that it was Helena Christensen and Michael Hutchence. There are few words to describe how beautiful she was - topless and golden with messy hair.

I never got the attraction toward Cheryl Tiegs. She must have fucked someone powerful.

^^^ rockin’ bod

R58, how did MH look?

R48, Cindy had her Revlon contract for a long time.

[quote]R48 Niki Taylor fell to earth with her bikini glamazon body like a cross between Christie Brinkley and Cindy Crawford

Then she was in a freewheeling car crash that left her severely injured and out of the business for years and years and years.

I thought she lacked personality.

Me either r59. She looks like a basic catalog model at best.

R48: I’m annoyed by Cindy now, but she was the most diversified of supermodels. She didn’t need Cover Girl, as she was the main spokesmodel for Revlon for several years. She made millions each year for a few months of work with them. Besides magazine covers and runway shows, she had exercise videos, an MTV show, commercials for Pepsi, Blockbuster Video, Pizza Hut, and Cadillac. She also got away with posing for Playboy during a time when the fashion industry frowned on those type of photos. Niki wishes she had a career that big.

R61 Hutchence looked like your basic rock star. Too skinny for my taste but he did have great hair and was a good swimmer (important to me).

Another vote for Renee Simonson. She wasn’t everywhere like the big three, so she was a refreshing change. Plus she banged John Taylor. Christy Turlington was very beautiful too.

But I loved them all to be honest. I didn’t celebrate the ascension of Kate Moss and the waif, as some did, because it was the end of the SuperModel Era.

Christy Turlington likely isn't in the group photo at R21 because of her long-term Calvin Klein contract that restricted her overall exposure since he bought so many pages of top fashion magazines

I wasn't a fan of Kate Moss when she first started and was everywhere all of a sudden, but her versatility over decades of modeling has established her as one of the best models ever

Linda Evangelista

Cheryl Tiegs is generic catalog model level and really became well-known to straight men because she showed her nipples and almost her puss on the cover of Sports Illustrated

Niki Taylor is name-dropped in Rupauls' "Supermodel" and also landed Vogue's 100th anniversary cover with Cindy, Christy, Linda, Naomi, Claudia

Cindy annoys me now too. It's sad to see. She had a long, amazing career. She doesn't need to be out there so thirsty today. She also should have left her face alone. Now she just looks/acts desperate.

Stephanie Seymour brings the sexy to every photo

Without her, this would be a family-friendly collection of angular, thin working models

With Stephanie, you have an on-the-spot five-way naked supermodel gangbang!

Kate Moss' campaign for David Yurman were some of the best photos she's taken

She became a bit insufferable on ANTM when she was constantly claiming the title of the world's first supermodel.

But in her prime (late 70s/early 80s), Janice Dickinson really was amazing in her photos.

Janice

Janice had a gorgeous smile, but she preferred looking pouty and sexy in her photos.

Janice looks Indigenous.

R77, yes, she really had a beautiful smile.

I despise all things Will & Jada, but Paulina Porizkova's "Red Table Talk" interview is pretty good

She says Ric Ocasek wouldn't allow her to do any more modeling that included another guy

This candid snapshot - with no retouching R4 - of Christie Brinkley could be a painting

At the height of her power: Linda

For longevity: Kate or Christy T

Boring Brinkley most certainly WASN'T the first supermodel by a long mile Frau OP.

Dovima and Dorian Leigh in the 50s were very well known by their faces in the US, but their names.

However the first genuine global well known supermodels were Twiggy and Veruschka.

Twiggy was a global household name.

And Veruschka. as an artist, who was also photographed by artists, was 1,000,000,000 more interesting than frau-fave Brinkley

Life magazine featured her in a cover story back in 1967, which was the equivalent then of winning the Oscars.

Twiggy in Germany. She was HUGE.

Few people outside of the US ever heard of Brinkley FFS.

Norman Parkinson and Twiggy

The first supermodel is a reference to income above all else.

You can list all the faves but the correct answer is she who first signed an over the top $$$ contract. Who was it?

Kate Moss has 8 US Vogue covers but 39 UK ones. 39! That's kind of ridiculous. Poor Helena has only 2 US Vogue covers and she was part of a collage of runway shots for one, and in a group of five supermodels for the other. I guess Wintour didn't like her all that much? I thought she was stunning.

I've stood next to Helena. Nothing special: certainly not breathtaking. Just another Scandi chick. She was only interesting when gussied up by geniuses like Mugler. Certainly not a GREAT runway model like Evangelista.

Here's a fascinating video about Evangelista and Schenkenburg making one of the best supermodel images of the 80s....

Helena was stunning. Kate is not.

Turlington

Supermodel means million dollar contracts , runway work and numerous major covers. Naomi Campbell is the ultimate super model. She changed the way models were seen on the runway for her walk. The model became a bigger star than the designer and designers sought Naomi out to fill seats. People wanted to see her more than the clothes. Even still she made the clothes look amazing. Pretty soon everyone was trying to keep up with her. And she is still working and walking today. She doesn't need to, but she is still in demand after 30 years - as a model, which is unheard of.

Btw, I have seen her in person. She is one of those people that you look at and think you couldn't have been anything else but a model. She doesn't make sense in any other form. And I have seen her walk and it's effortless and perfect but never supersedes what she is wearing - it illuminates it.

Tyson Beckford. He had several million dollar contracts and was the face of Ralph Lauren for years. His face, the proportions and balance are just insane. He was the first non-asian model with asiatic eyes which seemed to become a requirement for all male models for the next 20 years. He is probably the most recognized male model around the world.

W Magazine on Naomi's Walk:

Naomi’s walk is quite clearly the best in the business, a combination of swagger and grace that no other model has ever truly replicated (not even by those to whom she has given lessons, like Gigi Hadid). Her hips and shoulders sway while her back stays ramrod straight. Occasionally she’ll twirl, like models are supposed to in the movies. And she slowly smiles at the cameras, like she is very, very pleased with herself. She should be.

Yasmeen Ghauri ruled the runway with Naomi and had one of the best walks of all time. A Pakistani/German beauty from Canada, she was at the very top in the 1990s, in-demand by all the big designers. She was hired for haute couture as well as for commercial work like Victoria’s Secret.

Yasmeen could’ve been a supermodel with a household name alongside Cindy and Linda, but she was a private person. Unlike many of her peers, she did her job and went home. She didn’t court fame. She didn’t date celebrities. She wasn’t caught up in the hype. No one could call her thirsty. I think she was classy and grounded like Christy Turlington. That ages better.

Tyson Beckford is a good one. I don’t think there has been any male model since that has had the same level of recognition.

When I think of the word supermodel it means: beauty that made their careers (not clever marketing like Twiggy), earned a lot of money, had a degree of longevity (that leaves out Janice), is recognizable to the general public even to those that don’t have an interest in fashion, recognized by their peers in the industry as being one of the greats.

Supermodel 2.0 Birth Certificate

Kate Moss, Amber Valletta, Shalom Harlow, Carloyn Murphy

How did Gisele become so successful? Many models are/were more beautiful. Any gossip?

Milla Jovovich is the best singer of all the supermodels

Joan Severance was an inspiration to Linda Evangelista to pursue modeling

Linda looks like she could be Joan's sister

Biggest money maker of them all...

^^ and she’s NEVER AGED!

Of all the blue-eyed blonde star models of the 80s, I thought Kelly Emberg was the most stunning.

Disagree, R10.

Being a successful model has nothing to do with having a good personality since every moment Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell speak in "Unzipped" they become more unlikable

"Christie Brinkley was the first model who became a household name like a movie star from modeling alone"

Cheryl Tiegs did that before Christie. Her many commercials often had her name on them, as if she was a star.

Cybill Shepherd had her name in some of her ads, too.

Christy.

Of the new girls, Imaan Hamman.

What did they say r104? I can't remember. And was it in Catwalk or Unzipped that Helena was being snide about Sharon Stone backstage at a Valentino show?

Wasn't Iman a supermodel?

Renee Simonsen seemed like she was on every cover of Mademoiselle in the 80s like her very own O Magazine

Niki Taylor in Splash 2

Naomi's walk was distracting and always the same

It's not that difficult to walk like an entitled bitch

Christy-n-Paulina bringing Catatonic Mannequin Chic

R43, I choose Dovima too. Fabulous model.

Of the "moderns" I'd probably go with Christy or Naomi.

Janice was (and is) an annoying bitch, but I wanted to nail her son Nathan.

Janice Dickinson...

the first, the last, the only

One difference between the two is that Christie Brinkley looked like cocaine and Cheryl Tiegs snorted cocaine

Once upon a time, Janice Dickinson was a beautiful woman. It's too bad that she turned herself into a nasty, drug addled cartoon.

What r118???!

In my opinion, there are:

Supermodels - models such as Christie Brinkley, Twiggy, Beverly Johnson, Jean Shrimpton, Lauren Hutton, Paulina Porizkova, Kate Moss, Amber Valetta

THE Supermodels - Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Nikki Taylor, Stephanie Seymour, Tatijana Patiz , Yasmeen Ghuari, Claudia Schiffer, Karen Mulder

supermodels - models like Elaine Irwin, Nadja Auerman, Karen Elson, Yasmin LeBon, Karli Kloss

Famous models - Gisele, Tyra, Heidi…

Hasn't Gisele made more money than any of the others. More than a lot of them combined?

Gisele looka like a man, baby.

Gisele is like Elle Macpherson where she became well known to straight guys for showing her tits in Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue and then shoe-horned their basic boring looks into the "supermodel" category undeservedly

I forgot to add at r122 that out of all of them, she attracts the most interest from straight men, adding to her popularity and bankability.

Was Kathy Ireland a supermodel?

The 90s was really the era. Now the girls are anonymous and look like they came from Mortville.

Elder gays, please chime in on your opinion

^WITH your opinion

R126: Not really. Kathy Ireland was known for Sports Illustrated swimsuit modeling. She wasn’t a presence on the runways or Vogue editorials, i.e. she wasn’t a fashion model, which has always been viewed as the top level of that profession.

Kathy Ireland sold an eponymous clothing line at Kmart. Anyone considered a supermodel or even a former supermodel would never do that.

In 2012 Vogue disagreed

Janice hasn't looked herself for a LONG time. Remember when she got pregnant and convinced Stallone he was the father? Good thing for him he got a DNA test but I recall photos of them sitting together watching a fashion show and she'd styled her hair to hide facelift scars. Her lips were pumped up, too. That was almost 30 years ago. She started on the surgery way too young and in a drastic manner.

I don’t care who was CALLED the first supermodel. I think Twiggy is that icon.

R97 By fucking lots of powerful guys since she was a teen in Brasil. And for some weird reason, the gays who run the fashion industry were attracted to her masculine features and turned her into a standard of beauty. R124 And it was her relationship with DiCaprio that really skyrocketed her career at a time that people still cared about models. She was ugly as fuck before all the plastic surgery (that didn't help her get rid of her horse face and masculine features) and has aged badly. And I will never get why Americans deemed her as "curvy" and "healthy" when her body was as curvy as a ruler without the breast implants and photoshop, while in her own country she was considered almost anorexic. Fake tits and fake tan were enough to consider skinny and druggie models "curvy" and "healthy" in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Wow, I had no idea r132. Her clothes were in Kmart 20+ years ago. I guess her Sports Illustrated covers gave her a broader appeal and greater recognition, especially among men. It's interesting; it seems most of her products are not fashion related so the consumer base is much larger than it would be if she limited herself to beauty and fashion.

But still, based on her modeling work, she was never in the "supermodel" category.

[QUOTE]Kathy Ireland Worldwide, the former supermodel's company, sells many things which aren't associated with most models - who tend to put their name to clothing and cosmetics - including ceiling fans, flooring, mattresses, desks, end tables, media centres, beds, ottomans, bookcases, rugs, carpets, headboards and windows. Her namesake vinyl and plastic replacement windows sell more than $400 million-worth a year through one retailer alone, but that doesn't mean she's achieved all her ambitions.

WTF is R3? A prominent nose and morose expression does not a supermodel make. Is it trans?

Shana Zadrick was a hotter Guess? model than the portly centerfold Anna Nicole Smith who replaced her

If you watched "Secrets of Playboy" you know what is involved in winning Playmate of the Year like Anna did

[quote]R138 If you watched "Secrets of Playboy" you know what is involved in winning Playmate of the Year like Anna did.

[italic]Excuse me???

Vendela

R138, what did she do? Fuck Hefner?

I think Stephanie Seymour was the one who best combined beauty and sex. She was a true superstar. But I find it strange that she is NEVER mentioned in any of the Supermodels documentaries and news stories I've watched on YouTube and Amazon Prime. I assume it's because she and her husband are very litigious.

Shana Zadrick married some dorky rich guy and retired from modelling.

Unfortunately. She was one of my favs. She was sort of the dark counterpart to Claudia in the Guess ads.

[quote]R142 I think Stephanie Seymour was the one who best combined beauty and sex

I never thought Stephanie Seymour was that great at actual posing. She was a tad awkward. I mean, she got the rudiments of it okay, but lacked that sort of liquid flair that makes a great model.

^ but she really came to life with her clothes off

r144 MAN HANDS !!!

Chrissy Tegan fancies herself a supermodel

R36 I thought that Beri Smither was gonna be the American Kate Moss.

Christie Brinkley is still incredibly gorgeous.

I knew all about the models in the 80s like Christie, Paulina, Kathy Ireland, Kelly Emberg, Renee Simonsen, Kim Alexis and then of course the 90s supermodels

But I never even heard of Janice Dickinson until the 2000s when she was on E! all the time telling anyone with a camera and microphone that she was the first supermodel, though no one had ever heard of her or seen her before

For those saying that Gisele isn’t beautiful - sometimes attractiveness isn’t about prettiness, it’s about presence and a rocking bod. And being a national icon helps too.

"Gisele is like Elle Macpherson where she became well known to straight guys for showing her tits in Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue and then shoe-horned their basic boring looks into the "supermodel" category undeservedly"

That's not true, Gisele was in high fashion magazines like Harper's Bazaar and Vogue all the time. You couldn't pick up an issue of Vogue circa 2000 without seeing 10000 pictures of her in it. I don't really like Gisele that much but she wasn't just a swimsuit model.

[quote] Christie Brinkley was the first model who became a household name like a movie star from modeling alone

Actually, I think Twiggy was.

Lauren Hutton was hugely famous in the USA long before Cindy Crawford was. Same with Cheryl Tiegs (who wasn't a haute couture model, but still was a model and really only a model, and whose name was familiar in every US home in the late 70s).

Verushka.

Gisele was quite famous for her runway walk.

[quote]R150 I never even heard of Janice Dickinson until the 2000s when she was on E! all the time telling anyone with a camera and microphone that she was the first supermodel, though no one had ever heard of her or seen her before

If you get all your history lessons from TV, there’s going to be some gaps. Dickinson was a very well regarded model in her era, and fellow model Tara Shannon said in an interview Dickinson was the best of their generation (1970s and early 80s)

Who was the big '80s blonde model who had no chin? I found it very odd - but a lot of people must have liked her as she had a great career.,

Do you mean Rachel Williams? I always thought her chin was odd, anyway. It’s like someone bit off the bottom part of her face.

Stephanie Seymour was pure Florida trash. She had a good career, but it could’ve been great if she had laid off the drugs. Her fellow piece of Florida trash, Carolyn Murphy, shows what a difference not being an unreliable druggie makes (unlike Stephanie, she was one of the top girls in her cohort of supermodels—mid-to-late 90’s).

R161 Seymour is California trash.

Rachel Williams is in a very funny episode of Strangers With Candy about career day.

154 responses before Lauren Hutton came up. Hmmmm

163 responses and no mention of her Supreme Highness Shelley Hack?

You're slipping, DL.

Janice Dickinson may have appeared on a faded Sunday edition insert or two in the Roanoke Gazette hawking bottomless hush puppies at the Arthur Treacher's off Highway 9, but that doesn't qualify her as the first supermodel

R151 Jizz-Elle has the presence of a trophy wife

"What am I? Chopped liver?"

Dayle Haddon was another '70s mainstay.

Jerry Hall

How was Christie Brinkley the first supermodel when models like Twiggy, Marisa Berenson, Jean Shrimpton, Cheryl Tiegs, etc. preceded her? She's basic.

Veruschka in the Great Fur Caravan by Avedon. One of the most epic fashion editorials ever. Period.

I love this bit:

[quote]Hairstylist Ara Gallant creates a wig eight feet long for Veruschka; Diana Vreeland’s response when she sees the wig is, “I want 20 feet!”

R170 Cheryl Tiegs is the definition of basic

R173 Oh, I'm not arguing that, but she was around before Christie Brinkley.

Why are effeminate homosexuals so preoccupied with beautiful women?

Stephanie Seymour was known for bringing her son along with her at the height of her modeling career and isn't remembered as an "unreliable druggie"

R175 why do you vibrate and resonate so clearly with effeminate homosexuals?

Jalesne Goncalves

Karen Mulder was stunning. She was known as the Blonde with Class. Too bad she had a mental breakdown and had to be institutionalized multiple times.

Brandi Quinones is underrated

OP posted over 40 times in his own thread about supermodels, so he must consider himself an expert. The ignorance of his post at R5 brings the charade crashing down.

Yasmeen Ghauri was really striking

Millie!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

r184 Saving this one for later viewing!

r185 fugly Ric should be the one getting called out.

Since reading this thread I recall about mid /late 80’s a blonde model, possibly European or Scandinavian who was around and photographed in campaigns with Renee Simonsen and some of the other rising supermodels when in group shots. She had a wavy or at least full bodied head of blonde hair maybe just past the shoulders and went only by a first name. I feel like she had a magazine campaign maybe of some sort too. She seemed like she would have become big but then just disappeared and I’m not sure if it was because Claudia Schiffer and Karen mulder and other blondes came on the scene and swallowed her career up or if she just aged out/met a rich husband or what as the supermodel stuff was just starting to ramp up. I was just starting to take notice of the model g world at the time so was barely a teenager but I just can’t place her or find her online. Hard without recalling her name. Again, went by first name only and I think it might have sounded Scandinavian. Definitely not North American sounding name. Does this ring a bell at all?

Naomi climbed around like a horse. Her walk was exaggerated and awful. She can thank Christy for her career because people weren't interested in her originally, yet for some reason Christy felt the need to keep pushing Naomi onto everyone.

Three of my top five favorites on the cover of Vogue: Helena Christensen, Christy Turlington, Stephanie Seymour

Uncropped photo

R192 Vendela?

I always thought Marpessa Hennink had a great look

Stephanie Seymour is that rare hotness a gay man can jerk off to

THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU R198

"You're the hottest bitch in this place!"

R193 Exactly - Naomi's walk was overrated

What was the story between Naomi and Tyra? I recall Tyra having Naomi on one of her shows but didn't watch it. There was some kind of emotional making up? Did Naomi really try to get her blacklisted or were people pitting them against each other? Beverley Peele was also big around the time Tyra emerged.

This one actually won the title of SUpermodel of the World.

I thought she would have a bigger career after she was in Sports Illustrated R203

She still looks good

[quote]R167 Dayle Haddon was another '70s mainstay.

This thread is about SUPERMODELS, not loser mainstays.

Otherwise we might as well drag out Cristina Ferrare.

Never forget Nikki Taylor. Made famous by Dionne Warwick calling her a hussy on Celebrity Apprentice with future president DJT!

YES r196!!!! Thank you! I kept tossing around veruscka even though I know that is a different model. At least I had the V right. Thank you for getting this with my vague clues!

R204. IIRC Monika Schnarre was only about 14 when when she won that contest. I believe Eileen Ford got a bit fed up with her as she wasn’t perusing the opportunities given to her as hard as she wanted. But she was pretty young. I do t think she loved modelling in her younger years. She still looks great. I think she avoided the fast living the supermodels got into so that is part of the reason. Plus an incredible bone structure. Fun fact she used to get bullied in school before she won that for being gangly “ugly” and awkward.

I believe she had an alcohol problem

I’ve always been partial to Rosie Vela.

R168 She aged really well. In the early-2000s, I rolled my eyes at her ads for anti-aging products because I genuinely thought that she was much younger, and the company was using a young woman to sell anti-aging stuff. Then, I learned that she really was old!

Vendela

Not the best photo of Laetitia's face on the recent cover of MC. Surely they could have picked a better one?

I would have thought Niki Taylor was financially secure enough decades ago to never have to go the reality TV show route.

[quote]R212 She aged really well.

I have Dayle Haddon’s beauty book. She finds it refreshing to keep her moisturizer in the fridge.

Then she does the usual thing extraordinarily beautiful women do, which is to lecture that a quick, natural look is best.

Well, yes, if you have exquisite bone structure and good skin, you’ll look great with just a little Vaseline dabbed on your lips and the merest touch of eyebrow pencil. Most everyone else needs careful illusion to create symmetry and drama… CUNT!

My interest in Claudia Schiffer began and ended with her Brigitte Bardot-lookalike Guess? campaign

She's clumsy, not interesting or compelling on camera, doesn't speak well during interviews, generally has the same expression in all her photos

R206 or Lois Chiles.

Yasmin Ghouri, I believe married and is living in Edmonton Canada and IIRC was a stay at home mom raising several kids

I may have missed a post, but, no mention of Carla Bruni ? She seemed to run with the supermodel crowd and I think lived with Karen Mulder in Paris during the supermodel heyday. I didn’t think much of her at the time.

It looks like Christy's nose has collapsed a bit at r218. It seems bonier.

R220 Carla's face looks like a fright mask with that nose.

I never understood Carla's success. And she had affairs with Jagger and Trump. Yuck

Linda, Christy, and Cindy (Vogue UK, June 1991)

Supermodels were beautiful grown women who achieved their position through talent and work, not interchangeable and bland adolescent-looking girls hired because of their family connections.

Gisele in the 2000's was the last Supermodel. Nobody who came after that can claim that title.

Great pic at r224, but for the 75th anniversary of UK Vogue, they should have featured Naomi.

Over 200 posts and no mention yet of the woman on the cover of next month's British Vogue: Iman.

r209 fun fact she got cast on Bold and Beautiful as a model. turned out she was not that great of an actress.

She appeared with Joan in The Best of Everything (1959)

What’s funny about THE Supermodels (Linda, Christy, Naomi, et al) is that they all came from working/middle class backgrounds. Christy might’ve been the most well off out of all of them, but her dad was just an airline pilot.

People might consider Bella and Gigi Hadid, or even Kaia Gerber supermodels, but mommy and daddy paid for their titles.

Suzy Parker was the first. Jean Shrimpton followed by Twiggy were the most influential. All the others are coat hangers.

I don’t find Twiggy’s look / beauty has stood the rest of time like most of these other women though.

Never understood this one.

R224, oh, please. Yes they were stunning but that's not a "talent" - they hit the genetic jackpot

Disagree about Giselle. The Supermodel era really was only in the 90s.

I seriously don't get the Twiggy thing. She is average looking. Jean Shrimpton was actually beautiful.

Twiggy was more "cute" than stunning but she had a unique look

Line Gost, who dressed up like Sophia Loren for Guess, has some of that old supermodel magic.

R232 I don't really think that's a negative thing, to be honest. She was very evocative of the times.

I think she was more beautiful in the early 1970s, when she made The Boyfriend with Ken Russel. I liked that styling on her.

I like Line Gost, too. Out of the newer models I like Anna Ewers

Little Known Fact:

Like Madonna and Eminem, Real Life Malibu Beach Barbie Christie Brinkley was not born in Malibu....but MICHIGAN!

Lovely models from the 1980's

R243 I recognize Roni Webb and Lainey Irwin

Bella Hadid surgically altered her facial structure and features completely

R227, see my post at r110.

Listen up, bitches.

I was one of the best.

Eldergay here. Every girl in the late 60s and early 70s was obsessed with Twiggy. No other model has ever been a phenomenon like she was.

Paulina claiming herself as one of the first

Bella Hadid is still homely AF.

R248, did Penelope Tree register at all? Thanks

Linda & Christy just before scissoring

Tatjana Patitz was beautiful, her portraits by Peter Lindbergh are incredible.

I always got Patitz confused with Elaine Irwin.

R234: “Oh, please” yourself. You think all it takes to model is just stand around and look pretty? Clearly, you haven’t seen much of America’s Next Top Model and its many iterations in other countries.

There were plenty of contestants who had the looks, height, and weight that the fashion industry requires, but these young women (and men) sucked at being photographed. They didn’t know how to pose or walk with assurance. They looked clumsy.

Working models have a skill set. They are good at convincingly showing different expressions in photos. It’s like a form of acting, but without speaking. They can play a character for a photo shoot. They can convey confidence or some intensity of emotion. If you’re nervous or feeling awkward, the camera easily captures it. You’re not getting hired for the job.

Models know how to move fluidly on the runway and how to pose to show off the clothes and accessories in the best possible way. At least, those were the standard requirements before 2010. Now we have nepo models who are stiff and walk like robots. We have dead-eyed zombies in photos (looking at you, Kendall Jenner).

Gisele is a great example of a top model who is successful despite having an unexceptional face. No great beauty, but she smolders in photos. She knows how to show her best angles. She poses without looking like a dork. There are beautiful women who don’t have these skills. Next Top Model showed that some contestants had a natural ability (a talent) to model, while others could never get it right no matter how much help they got from the pros.

Also, not everyone could deal with the rejection. It occurs at all levels. One of Helena's first jobs was a Chanel ad shot by KL himself. But she never got a US Vogue cover of her own and she wasn't included amongst the ten models on the 100th anniversary cover in 1991. Despite having featured her several times on the cover of UK Vogue, Tilberis never gave her a US Bazaar cover either, she only got one before Tilberis took over.

Then there's the travelling, the competing for jobs.

Lest we forget the argument between Heidi Klimt and Elle McPherson over who had the original right to refer to herself as “The Body”.

*Klum ^

Heidi has definitely aged better than Elle. With or without surgical help, we do not know (aside from the obvious Jacksonesque nosejob).

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Let's split hairs.

Heidi Klum was never a long-term successful model and when she was a young model she was very far from a top model let alone a supermodel.

Heidi Klum made her fame by cosplaying as a "top model" or "supermodel" on entertainment vehicles.

I like her and respect the fortune she has made as an entertainer. Everyone seems to like her or she wouldn't have been around this long, raking it in.

R255, there are plenty of models today who aren't "nepotism babies" they're just not the ones you hear about in the gossip columns or in US Weekly

But DLers never miss an opportunity to insist that "everything was better in my day"

Heidi Klum is great as host on Project Runway but she's not versatile or memorable like those referred as Super

I thought Heidi looked better before she bleached her hair and got all the plastic surgery

R262: Those “plenty of models” aren’t known to people who don’t follow fashion. They’re not interesting enough for the general public to care about and designers like it that way.

In other words, they are not mainstream famous, unlike the ‘90s supermodels who were widely known. People who didn’t give a crap about fashion or modeling recognized Cindy and Linda and Naomi as easily as they recognized movie stars.

That’s the point. Nepo models like Kendall, Bella, and Kaia are recognized now because of their famous connections, not because they possess great beauty or have skill in their profession or have any charisma. They are not supermodels because the attention they get is based on empty hype and planted gossip.

These unsung models that you mention are not supermodels, either. They wouldn’t be because the fashion industry killed the supermodel phenomenon. Designers don’t want a repeat of a time when models got more attention than their clothes. It was a time when models had more bargaining power and got the salaries they demanded. They generated a lot of interest and marketing, so designers paid up but eventually resented it. This is why designers promoted the waifs and heroin chic by the mid-90s. It’s why they hired many bland girls. A girl with the beauty and abilities of a young Naomi would not be hired today because she would pull focus with her looks and personality. Yet, many comments from younger people on social media ask why we don’t have fashion models on the same level as ‘90s supermodels.

R265 You make solid points. Cindy, Naomi, Claudia and etc were classically beautiful women that the fashion and commercial world and straight men and women adored. They stood out and crossed over into different mediums. Many people didn't care about fashion or models back then but knew who they were. The 80s and 90s seemed to be the only time when that was a thing. Most models today are clearly hired to be walking clothes hangers and have no sex appeal or charisma like Gigi and Kaia.

The reason models aren't as famous as they were in the 90s is because fashion magazines, and the magazine industry in general, are dying. There are plenty of models as attractive as Naomi, and unlike Naomi, aren't complete cunts, but no one pays attention to fashion magazines like Vogue anymore so no one cares

Over 250 posts and no mention of former Ford model, Pam Dawber! Not only could she model, she could act, check out her made-for-tv triumph, American Geisha! Pam was a supermodel before Angie Dickinson came up with the concept!

Vogue, GQ and other magazines cheapened their brands by putting every celebrity on the cover though they are grasping at straws to save their dying sales. But the entire mentality changed as well. Nobody is spending money on luxury fashion except foreigners from Asia and India. Thrifting and fast fashion is what is in.

[quote]r268 Over 250 posts and no mention of former Ford model, Pam Dawber!

It’s a crime.

Angie Dickinson, huh? okidoky

R268 some of the models Ford took in the 70s and most of the 80s is baffling. Basically all you had to be was tall(ish) and thin with and all American look. Julie Hagerty was another “Ford model”

Eileen Ford liked “formula faces.”

“Foreigners”, R269? You mean people with taste and money, right?

Even though she was kinda a second-tier model, I loved Angie Everhart's red hair and bitchface.

Angie Everhart had great hair. She's a natural redhead, too

I don't think she was ever truly a supermodel, but I liked Bridget Hall's look until she got a nose job.

R143 Shana Zadrick was great, I always wondered what happened to her.

[quote]Brandi Quinones is underrated

Agreed, R180

Another one with Brandi

How popular was Linda before she cut her hair?

There wasn't anything special about her.

With the right hair and makeup she was quite striking.

To tell the truth, none of the 90s supermodels really did much for me. Though Christy Turlington had a very lovely face.

The most overrated, by FAR, was boring bucktoothed ratface Claudia Schiffer. Notice she is in half of the 90s group shots but NO ONE has mentioned her.

Schiffer was sexy as hell. I don’t think she did a lot of straight up fashion, though. And that’s really how you classically judge a model.

When Paulina Porizkova was on the cover of Cosmopolitan for the first time, most people thought she was Brooke Shields

Karen Graham was really striking

Mark Harmon could have married any supermodel of his choice from the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue to the Victoria's Secret catalog - and yet he's been out-of-his-mind pussy whipped for the last four decades by Le Grande Dame Lady Dawber

[quote]r295 When Paulina Porizkova was on the cover of Cosmopolitan for the first time, most people thought she was Brooke Shields

Paulina’s career seemed to take off when Brooke Shields was in college, and became less available.

Long hair doesn't suit Linda at all.

[quote]R297 Mark Harmon could have married any supermodel… and yet he's been out-of-his-mind pussy whipped for the last four decades by Le Grande Dame Lady Dawber

That’s FORMER MODEL Le Grande Dame Lady Dawber to you!

Was Elaine Irwin considered a supermodel? She appeared on the cover of the famous 100-year anniversary issue of Vogue, along with all of the top 90’s supermodels (excluding Stephanie Seymour)…she also had exclusive contracts (Pantene, Ralph Lauren), and was married to a rock star (John Cougar Mellancamp).

At the same time, if someone merely referred to “Elaine,” nobody would know what they were talking about. I personally think she was gorgeous, but I would struggle to identify her in most pictures.

I'd call her a top model rather than a true supermodel

Leonardo DiCaprio's Former Girlfriend Speaks Out About 'Ageist Headlines and Comments'

Elaine Irwin was very big in the 80s. I used to buy Cosmo, Glamour and Mademoiselle religiously.

R303 reminds me of how much I appreciate the “top models” of the 90’s as much as The Supermodels. My favorites were:

Meghan Douglas

Elaine Irwin

Yasmin Le Bon

Kristin McMenamy

Beverly Peele

Nadja Auerman

Kirsty Hume

Eve (Salvail)

R304 I’ve never heard if that model. Ever.

Yasmin Le Bon

Kristin McMenamy

Nadja Auerman

Kirsty Hume

arguable had a few years in which they were a blend of "top" and "super"

Oh, and even though she was obnoxious, it would be fair to add Veronica Webb to my list of favorite top models. Patricia Velasquez as well.

It’s interesting to me how Gisele is treated like the last supermodel, when she was technically part of a group of models who marked the end of an era.

Just like Kate Moss was kind of the group leader for the mid-to-late 90’s supermodels, which included Amber Valletta, Shalom Harlow, Carolyn Murphy, Trish Goff, Liya Kebede and others…Gisele was the group leader for the early 00’s supermodels, which included Maggie Rizer, Angela Lindvall, Frankie and Missy Rayder, Carmen Kass, and Karolina Kurkova. She broke out as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, but those other models tended to walk the same shows and alternate covers with Gisele.

Kristen Zang is more famous for her rship with Leo than any modelling she's done. She had an affair with Michael Hutchence about 30 years ago.

R307 She was third tier. She was in stuff like Kmart ads and editorials in Seventeen and Cosmo. I don't think she ever got a big campaign or an editorial in one of the major magazines. I also don't think she ever rated a cover.

R311 She was also engaged to Nicolas Cage!

R277 Hall had a weird career. She was hyped up twice (once when she was in her teens and again in her early-20s), but never really got to that next level. There was some gossip years ago that the Ralph Lauren people regretted signing her to that long-term contract when her career never really took off and it was too expensive to buy out.

I thought she was gorgeous though.

Bridget Hall appeared on the cover of one of the best September issues (of Vogue) of all time. It had a vintage 30’s or 40’s vibe.

She came at a weird time I guess. She had the covers and contracts, but she seemed to only have high fashion appeal at a time it became increasingly important to be a VS Angel, Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, or at least a Tom Ford/John Galliano/Karl Lagerfeld/Donatella Versace muse.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Natalia Vodianova yet, she was everywhere for awhile (and part of the group R310 mentiones, alongside Gisele). A real rags to riches story, too.

Oh, and let's not forget the moment that bobblehead models had in the mid-2000s, with Gemma Ward, Sasha Pivovarova, Lisa Cant, etc.

R312 THANK YOU. I'm glad she was a nobody and I'm not developing dementia (yet).

Daria Werbowy has everywhere for a while there.

Was Tyra a supermodel?

Pictured below with Naomi and Beverly Peele.

I mean Tyra is famous worldwide. She may not have been in the high fashion sphere for as long as Naomi or Linda and lacked their gravitas but she was huge in commercial modeling and was intelligent to cross over into Victoria's Secret, Sports Illustrated, TV and film while still young and sexy. I know she's a phony bitch but she should be seen as a supermodel by her success and longevity.

NO ONE walks ahead of Karen Mulder

R321 To be fair, she did do high fashion runways, too.

Niki Taylor Primetime Interview after her sister Krissy died

R323 Yeah she did. People just hate on Tyra because she's annoying but she was in high fashion circles and she is a supermodel by every criteria. Tyra even explained in her True Hollywood Story that she left to pursue commercial modeling and acting because she was gaining weight and her mother didn't want her to develop eating disorder or coke addiction to maintain a thin frame. She came from a middle class home, so her parents emphasized on her to have alternative route early on. Tyra even said in very early interviews that she had goals to be a businesswoman and she got it.

[quote]Supermodel Birth Certificate that George Michael saw and chose to cast all of them instead of himself, in his Freedom video

He's the man behind the camera in the "Too Funky" video. I was familiar with Eva Herzigova, Linda Evangelista, Nadja Auermann, Shana Zadrick, Tyra Banks and Beverly Peele but had to look up Emma Sjöberg and Estelle Hallyday.

Going way back to the 60s, ingenue model who was very popular, featured in Seventeen Magazine....Colleen Colby. I don't think she was a supermodel, but she was constantly in teen ads and magazines. Jean Shrimpton, Verushka (sp) and Twiggy were early supermodels then.

It’s Colleen [bold]Corby. [/bold]Maybe you’ve posted about DYNASTY so much your autocorrect has caught up :)

Yes..^^ :)

Bettina!! Fifties French haute-couture model, survived the automobile accident that killed her fiancee, Aly Khan.

Sissy Spacek was basically the first supermodel. And all with just one ad!

Following Twiggy, David Bailey tried to make Penelope Tree happen. She was the daughter of some semi-aristocrats. Unfortunately, despite the fact she was almost as skinny as Twiggy, she was ugly.

Twiggy was the origin for girls starving themselves to death.

Peggy Moffitt had a very unusual look. She had a sculptural short Sassoon haircut....with wild, dark heavy eye makeup.

There was only ONE era of supermodels r310 and it ended when the heroin chic era started.

This show is iconic and was destination tv every Sunday night. What better way to see your favourite supermodels and feel like you’re getting the inside scoop about them and the world of top designers!

Jeannie Becker was so basic yet charming. And Fashion Television had the BEST intro.

She managed to have massive egos like Karl Lagerfeld and Gauthier etc give her exclusives too. That show was epic at the time.

My VCR was set to record Fashion Television and MTV's The Week in Rock every week

Does anybody recall a model named Lisa Fonssagrives? I think she was a top model in the 50s, maybe the first supermodel

R341 I know her from the book Model: The Ugly Business of Beautiful Women aka. The Greatest Book of All-Time.

R342: Me too. That book dishes the dirt.

R341: Fonssagrives definitely had the popular model look of that time: elegant and very thin with a snooty face.

[quote]People just hate on Tyra because she's annoying but she was in high fashion circles and she is a supermodel by every criteria… Tyra even said in very early interviews that she had goals to be a businesswoman and she got it.

If that’s the criteria then Tyra’s BFF Kimora Lee was also supermodel.

[quote]r343 Fonssagrives definitely had the popular model look of that time: elegant and very thin with a snooty face.

She married photographer Irving Penn.

Supermodel of the World sounds like a beauty pageant made up by a seven year old girl.

Or a deluded tranny.

Does anybody remember Esther Canadas? She was briefly married to DL fave Mark Vanderloo, whom she did a series of DKNY ads with.

I remember Esther…she also appeared in The Thomas Crown Affair (with former technically a supermodel, Rene Russo).

One of my faves of the post-supermodels is Maggie Rizer. Some of my NYC friends met her because she's heavily involved in gay rights and AIDS activism. (Her father was gay and died of AIDS.) This is from one of my favorite photoshoots. It ran in Harper's Bazaar in 1998.

From the same shoot.

Maggie Rizer visits her hometown

R360 she happens to be very sweet and down to earth, too.

Maggie's one of the few successful models whose mom was the one soliciting agencies and sending out her pictures trying to get her daughter into modeling

Cindy

Linda

Naomi

Christie

And that’s it. No one else makes the cut. Not even Giselle. It was a moment in time. Either you were there or you missed it, but if you missed it, you ain’t a supermodel.

Tyra Banks never even got close to the supermodel category. Just stop bringing her fat us up. She is not a part of this conversation.

Cheryl Tiegs was the first supermodel, not Christie Brinkley. She even got a Time magazine cover in 77 or 78, saying so.

The most beautiful of all was Karen Mulder (she now looks like anordic old lady).

Karen Mulder always reminded me of Joey Lauren Adams

Iman, Beverly and Naomi.

R367 Technically, her cover says "All-American Model."

In the late-90s Laetitia Casta got a lot of hype, then Gisele broke through and stole her thunder. Casta was/is prettier though.

Loved Casta's Cosmo covers!

R372 Laetitia probably had one of the best runway moments of the 90s, too. All dressed up in silk roses by YSL.

Weren't Cheryl's boobs sagging by r371 already? Hardly an example of supermodel. For a fixated suckler, well, that's another story.

R365 gets it.

Casts had other issues. One of them drinking. If her career was overshadowed perhaps the others were just more responsible with keeping appointments etc.

Also, she was not a supermodel.

I’ve never heard about her having drinking issues, source?

As r375 said. None of the others posted, including some of my own posts here were

I think Claudia Sniffer and Helena C should be on that short list though. They were also massive at the time.

I don’t care about Janice Dickenson and others coming up with these “ was the first real one” bs. The term wasn’t coined until naomi, Cindy, Claudia, christy, Linda and Helena came along. Trying to label yourself a supermodel post 1990’s, or before the term was coined, does not count. Including the people here old enough to remember twiggy and also all those hawk faced 50’s models that keep getting posted here too. The supermodel era was a very specific point in time for a very few.

If you asked politely maybe. But you didn’t so you’re on you’re own.

R380 Riiiiiigt…

"Teen models, powerful men and private dinners: when Trump hosted Look of the Year"

Lily Cole was another great of the post-supermodel era. I loved her doll-like look.

Never got the fuss over Claudia Schiffer. To me she looked like any number of girls you would see at the local mall.

Love this Vogue cover! I was in high school when it came out, and at the next school dance so many girls wore similar outfits.

As a gayling, I was entranced by Amber Valletta's waist. She is the only woman whose nude photos I was obsessed with collecting. I had a whole folder of them hidden on my family's computer when I was young.

I thought this thread was about Ypir, specifically.

R379 The term was coined in the 1940s.

In addition to being #5 on the list of models with the most American Vogue covers (behind Lauren Hutton, Karen Graham, Jean Shrimpton, and Cindy Crawford…tied with Claudia Schiffer and Jean Patchett), Amber Valletta appeared on an iconic cover of Time…shot by Herb Ritts. She was also a Versace muse who originally debuted J-Lo’s infamous Grammys dress on the runway.

It’s interesting how people act like Kate Moss was the last of the 90’s Supermodels when Amber had the better career by every measure.

RIP T-Patz

R192 - Eva Herzigova has not yet been mentioned, is she the one you're thinking of? There are many stunning, photogenic models, such as Linda Evangelista, but few of them have a fuckable allure to straight guys. Eva was, in my opinion, the most fuckable supermodel of the 1990s. Straight men ogled at her. Her Wonder Bra campaign was legendary.

Hey, look at the old Top Models and Supermodels at the end of this Mugler show, last week. Amber, Shalom, Eva and more. Starts at 6:26

Thanks for sharing that, R398. I think Kristin McMenamy was in there too.

Kristen wasn't featured at the end. I would have noticed her. maybe I'm getting old. Shalom is SKINNY! Eva and Amber look fabulous.

R400, that’s her at 6:53 in the YouTube vid.

I know she's not a supermodel, but I have always thought Diane Lane was beautiful. She was captivating in the outsiders, way back in the day. If I have to pick a bona fide supermodel, though, I'd say Stephanie Seymore.

What's the point of that comment in a thread about Supermodels.

If this is Kristen I certainly don't recognize her. I figured it was a transed Nadège du Bospertus

Did someone just say Diane Lane? Wtf

Okay, then. Debbie Gibson!

Apparently, it’s not Kristen or Nadège—it’s Omahyra. I vaguely remember her as one of the early 00’s group of models (she was to Gisele, Maggie Rizer, and Angela Lindvall, what Nadège was to Cindy, Linda, and Naomi…JV as opposed to Varsity).
