Naomi Campbell Wants the Magazine Covers Back The famed supermodel has signed on to find the next great beauty on Oxygen's 'The Face.'
Singers, performers, and actresses should watch out: Models want their magazine covers back.
It was 1998 when
Time magazine declared the end of the Supermodel era. Over the last decade, actors, musicians and others celebrities have taken over the magazine stands. But, one of the most iconic members of the 80s and early-90s supermodels,
Naomi Campbell, says it’s time to change that.
“Of course, we want the magazine covers back. Of course, we do,” Campbell told
Celebuzz. “There are less covers for the girls out there who are the new, young, trendy girls. She’s got more to compete with and there are only a certain amount of covers they’re going to give a model a year. Before, you had models twelve months a year.”
Campbell wants upcoming models to reclaim the print modeling industry, rather than just be a face on the fashion runway.
“When I started modeling, there was a separation of girls that did shows and girls that did print. And my generation did both. That’s when it changed,” she says of how she and others like
Christie Turlington,
Kate Moss and
Cindy Crawford changed the fashion world.
With 26 years of experience, she is now the executive producer for Oxygen’s new reality competition show,
The Face. The competition features up and coming female models who are all trying to be the next face and spokesperson for a nationally recognized brand.
Karolina Kurkova and
Coco Rocha will join Campbell as mentors on the show with former
America’s Next Top Model judge,
Nigel Barker, hosting.
