It's true about the models back then having more "
presence" (by presence I mean being EVERYWHERE) but I think it's because they were in the industry for so long. A lot of models now are in and out in a snap.
In my opinion, since a lot of the big name models were American(Christy, Cindy, etc) they made a bigger impression here than a lot of the European/Brazilian/Russian models because they were "closer to home" you could say. Magazines also interviewed them so we got to know more of their personality.
It makes me deslike Marc Jacobs that he alludes that models now have no personality or don't have character. What does he think they are? Just thin and beautiful robots? Magazines don't interview models anymore (I wish they did though) therefore we never get to know them (unlike the models of the 90s)
