I was wondering about this because when I was reading, hearing and seeing different things about different eras of modeling and seeing things different from what I always thought. I never realized that many models from prior eras were like celebs are today, at mainstream red carpet events, real household names. My view of modeling was always that you had to date an actor, director, athlete or singer to get that type of visibility . But it seems that it was not always so. People knew the "trinity" (Evangelista, Turlington, Naomi) along with others...for themselves and that is somewhat of a foreign concept to me.
Even people that don't care about modeling know who Cindy Crawford is and probably don't know or remember what celebs she dated .
Anyway, this is NOT a topic about the "fall of the supermodel" or even "bringing back the glory days" by any means. The topic is not about bringing back the full fledged "glory days" but what I wanted to know was some of your thoughts about how today's models can gain general mainstreem visibility outside of dating celebs and VS (not knocking those things, of course , its just that they are too easy and obvious .
I think some would have a lot more American mainstreem media visibility for one, if not for a language/relatablity barrier. And by "relatability" not necessarily only you relating to them, but a personality or mystique that interrests people as well, but I can't speak for South America and European mainstreem, fo course...
But Again: The topic is NOT about bringing back the full fledged "glory days" , so comments about how we'll never see the glory days again, ect. will be rendered off topic .
But just wanted different people's ideas about how today's models can gain general mainstreem visibility (or how some are). OUTSIDE OF dating celebs or VS .
