The Super Models: How Linda, Cindy, Christy, Naomi and Tatjana defined an era

Models today may never reach the status and fame of iconic supermodels like Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, and Tatjana Patitz. According to industry experts, brands now prioritize models with a strong social media following, while advertising agencies have taken a backseat. The power of social media stars such as Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, and Bella Hadid is undeniable, as they sell products through their massive influence. This shift has led to a diverse range of individuals, from influencers and models to actresses, promoting and marketing fashion.

The fashion industry has evolved into a more inclusive landscape, embracing content creators and the digital world. However, industry insiders believe it would be nearly impossible for a new face to attain the same level of global recognition and fame as Kate Moss, Christie Brinkley, or Naomi Campbell in today's saturated market.
