Looking more into the rich list I decided to compare the current with the 2006 rich list and to my surprise something really interesting did come to my attention. In 2006 there was nine different models in The Fashion Millionaires list yet in 2013 there isn't any.
Have we grown tired of Supermodels such as Elle Macpherson, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Lily Cole?
Where do we stand with models as of this moment in time, personally I think we've almost turned modelling into a trend. For a while someone is huge and then they're dropped for the next star disposed of as if they were never even heard of. Personally I think it's the fashion industry trying to appeal to who ever has grabbed youths attention.
We've seen it before Agyness Deyn, Charlotte Free and Cara Delevingne currently, for a moment they're huge you see them used by everyone. Youth go mad for them post about them idolise them and then drop them when the next person comes along.
What is it about these models that makes them so easily dropped, is it that they have their quirk thats so new and fresh, we love it to the point of ruin and exhaustion. Have we created the disposable model ourselves by making having a fashion industry who will so easily play to our needs and desires.
Also this isn't an insult to their modelling either its more so looking at their careers and longevity. Models are no longer becoming such household names rather than flashes and fads we're eventually glad to see the back of. Has modelling become over saturated with talent and personalities and this is why we no longer hold onto our 'supermodels' and have the supermodels actually died out.
Is this the death of the supermodel and the birth of the disposable model?
