In the Nineties, all you can say is that in terms of popularity, the supermodel has
supernovaed. She has escaped the tightly regulated confines of The Fashion
Industry to sprint wild and free through rock videos, motion pictures, bathing suit
calendars, exercise videos, music magazine covers, theme restaurants...one
could go on forever.
Clearly Models have gone Pop, in the Warholian sense of the expression and ain't
a damn thing we can do now...but aspire. With this new drive in the fashion world
for...diversity, uniqueness and edginess - all of a sudden it seems virtually
anybody could be a model. Since it's become habit: blame Kate Moss (in
collaboration with Calvin Klein) Not quite 5'8", no problem! A lazy eye - that's fine!
Crooked teeth. Whatever! Kate had it made and now a legion of young ladies
are flaunting their flaws hoping it will give their beauty a stronger edge.
But now, for the reality check: being attractive is not quite the same thing as
being a model. Just because a girl or a boy is beautiful doesn't mean they should
model and conversely, just because a girl or a boy isn't conventionally beautiful
doesn't mean they shouldn't. In fact that old cliché about models not looking
anything like their pictures in person is quite true. They couldn't possibly, not
unless they went food shopping with a hair and make-up team, a strobe light and
a photoshop expert in tow. What needs to be understood is a that a model is a
kind of species. Models are precisely like thoroughbred horses: we're talking a
strange genetic ideal here. The principle of model beauty is not the same thing as
"next door beauty" or as NYW nightlife editor Crave, brutally summarizes:
"There's 'industry beauty' and there's 'street beauty'.
The sexy girl in thigh high boots and hot pants you see walking down the street
stopping traffic does not necessarily work when you put her on a runway beside a
Gunivere Van Seemus who you can walk down the street with and not provoke
any drama at all! " The question is: How do these movers and shakers know who
to make a star model and who to politely and (not so politely) turn away?
Here published for the first time, in step by step details, are the unwritten rules
which govern the peculiar laws of supermodeldom. Our first installment
addresses the basic requirements necessary for a spectacular career.
