STYLIST OPINION

DEATH OF THE SUPER MODEL

Where have all the super models gone? Why has the planet not been graced with a whole new set of glamazon beauty's that are recognizable to even the most common folk on the street?

That fantasy allure of a powerful female figure giving

inspiration to woman every where, that we all can agree on, are completely hot and desirable!

Okay so the original bunch are all still around, being recycled in the occasional fashion story or to front a campaign for Loreal and for some reason Habitat. And am very glad for it because it gives a certain amount of nostalgia to the exciting days of the model. But it seems that the last creature that was even to come close to the name Super Model was Giselle, and we know this because yes she fit the bill of all requirements needed, and was recognizable on a first name basis only. No others come to mind at present.

While I was working on the shows in Milan and Paris it became more evident to me. All the girls looked the same, super young, super thin and super faceless. (Okay so maybe we still do have super models).

Will Kate still be around in 30 years flogging her floral night gown and sensible shoe line for Top Shop? Maybe.

Surely the gene pool has not changed that much? Is the world not producing amazing female creatures that can be looked up to and admired anymore?

I think one thing for sure, in these times of financial maters we could all do with a Super Model to come and save the day!
