Here's the full imagist post:
Who invented the supermodel? Was it Gianni Versace when he started to employ the top editorial stars of the day in his runway shows? Was it Steven Meisel when he started to bulk-book The Trinity (Christy, Linda, Omi) month after month for every gig in sight? Maybe it was Gerald Marie and John Casablancas when they started to package the right girls dressed in the right clothes, staying at the right hotel at premium rates to the clients. Or was it the girls who took these opportunities as presented by Gianni and Steven and Gerald and ran like thieves with it all the way into history ( with stops off at The Fashion Cafe, The George Michael "Freedom" video and an aerobic video here or there). I'm starting to feel like it's the girls themselves, whether by nurture or nature who really learned to sculpt themselves into larger than life figures that made them so famous and gave them their enduring appeal. Proof of this appeal? The Hiss Squad has been buzzing all week about an upcoming Vanity Fair cover set to feature the original gang of authentic supermodels. No new school kids, no late breaking divas. If you weren't on set for "Freedom" don't apply. That's the big clue cause it will be a big big cover moment!...Where the new school cool girls can apply is over at the Meisel CK Jeans casting. The sustained hiss is that they're looking to mingle the coolest of the cool legendary supermodel types with the newest of the new, new breed beauties. That should be gorgeous no? Question is can you guess which of the legends is set to shine centerpiece. The right girls in the right clothes staying at the right hotel turned out to be of eternal, appeal?
This makes me think it's only old school girls for the vanity fair cover, and super new girls for ck jeans. The girls from the George Michael video were Linda, Christy, Naomi, Tatjana and Cindy Crawford. Other additions could be Stephanie Seymour, Claudia Schiffer and Kate Moss (even though she's really from a different era).
