[model love]

I have heard a lot of discussion recently in regards to what actually constitutes one being bale to be called a supermodel.

I think mainly in Australia, with the launch of "Make Me a Supermodel", people have been disagreeing weather or not a commercial model can be a supermodel. As the media here makes Jennifer hawkins out to be a supermodel. when in my opinion she's only a celebrity as she only got work from winning Miss Universe, for as a model prior to this she didnt do much work at all.

for example, Miranda Kerr is often called a "supermodel" here as she is very high profile, but do you think high profile is enough? or does it have to constitute certain types of work for someone to be classed as a "supermodel"

and how long does someone have to be around for for them to be able to be called a "supermodel". i know catherine mcneill has been everywhere for the past year, but as she's only been around for a little while, does it mean she cant be classed as one yet?

and if you were going to say who THE supermodel of the moment is, would it be Kate or Giselle? In my opinion, i think Giselle is in the classic sense of the word as she has a whole brand name. but i would think Kate is more a Supermodel as she has more longevity and is more "high end" fashion.

I just thought it'd be interesting to see others thoughts on this.
