Preach it!

Claudia Schiffer has spoken and says the "Supermodel" is dead and I agree with everything she has to say.

Read her interview here.

    This is what Claudia Schiffer had to say to the Daily Mail:

    "In order to become a supermodel one must be on all the covers all over the world at the same time so that people can recognise the girls.

    "That is, for now, not possible, not least because the advertising industry is very much taken nowadays by popstars and actresses. Supermodels like we once were don't exist any more."

    "I can remember when I needed four bodyguards to get backstage from a Chanel show just to my car. And that wasn't only me. It just isn't like this any more."

    And about one of the few Supermodels left, Gisele Bundchen:

    "Her face is well known, her name is recognised - but no other girl occurs to me that people in the street would recognise."

    And finally about the future of fashion and models:

    "I think and hope that there is a change in the scene, where glamour returns after heroin-chic and discusions about Anorexia.

    "Current photo stories in magazines suggest it is going in this direction. Certainly the things I have done recently have been unusually glamorous and beautiful.

    "Perhaps this new development can cause a revival of the supermodel as we embodied the image of beauty in the 90's."

    This is exactly what I mean when I say that Gyllencow should leave the modeling and ad campaigns to models. Ugh, now I've got Freedom by George Michael stuck in my head. That's what you get.
