Stephanie Seymour: Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid are Cool, But Supermodels They Are Not
Alrighty!
Stephanie Seymour, one of the legendary supermodels to emerge from the 1990s, was asked by Vanity Fair to describe this generation’s crop of pretty young things.
“Bitches of the moment!” she joked.
“Supermodels are sort of the thing of the past. They deserve their own title,” Seymour said diplomatically.
“[Kendall and Gigi] are beautiful girls, and I support all of them, but they need their own title.
“They are completely different than we were,” Seymour explained, referring to her contemporaries Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer, Helena Christenson, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford.
“Modeling was more of a mysterious back then. The talent could get weird with super-rich men, do tons of drugs and get away with so much more because reality TV and social media didn’t exist.
Unfortunately, those two things are largely responsible for Jenner and Hadid’s careers.
“Because there weren’t cameras around us all the time, we got away with so much more and had so much more fun,” Seymour said.
“We didn’t have people watching us all the time, and we weren’t putting ourselves out there in a way that was turning the media against us or for us in any way.
“We still had our privacy, and there was more of an illusion behind the girls. You lose your illusion when you give much of yourself away, and that’s what I don’t like about it.”
Rebecca Romijn was a bit more critical in describing how much the world of modeling has changed.
I know a lot of people — legitimate fashion people — can’t stand it,” Romijn told Entertainment Tonight.
“Hate it that these, you know, social media stars are now the supermodels in fashion. They are not true supermodels.”
The same could be said for models trying to become actresses, Madame Romijn…

Rebecca Romijn: Kendall Jenner & Gigi Hadid Are NOT "True Supermodels"!
Earlier this month, iconic designer Calvin Klein dissed Kendall Jenner pretty hard when he said he wouldn’t use the reality star-turned-model in his ads if he was still at the helm of his clothing brand.
In case you missed it, Klein explained that models today are selected based on their social media following rather than their look or skills, which he thinks will ultimately prove bad for business.
And it appears he’s not the only one who feels this way.
Former supermodel Rebecca Romijn recently opined that models like Kendall and Gigi Hadid reached the top of their game due primarily to their popularity on social media.
“No one has proven yet that numbers of followers translates to revenue,” Romijn told Entertainment Tonight.
“So it is frustrating.”
She went on to reveal that many fashion industry professionals share her and Klein’s sentiments.
“I know a lot of people — legitimate fashion people — can’t stand it.” she continued.
“Hate it that these, you know, social media stars are now the supermodels in fashion.”
And then she dropped this bombshell:
“They are not true supermodels.”
HARSH.
She specifically blames one magazine for fueling the trend – one that has been regarded as the go-to fashion bible for years.
“The thing is, I have always looked to Vogue magazine to lead the way, not be a follower,” Romijn continued.
“So I have been disappointed that fashion magazines have been supporting this trend of social media stars to set our style standards.
“But it will change; fashion always does.”
