I think we're spending some time talking past each other here based on that we're not defining 'supermodel' in the same way.
Do you want models on the covers (not always, but 50%+ of the time)?
YES
If yes, or, if no why?
They photograph better. Celebs aren't more 'interesting' or 'talented' most of the time. They're just trained in elementary rhetorics - and they're older.
Do you want Cindy, Christy, Claudia, Stephanie, Linda and Naomi back?
NO
Do you want models who are characterized by being high fashion stars AND swimsuit models?
I don't know if it's possible anymore, for cultural reasons.
