I agree with Silhouette. None of modern-day models have reached, say, Cindy Crawford's status in terms of fame and public recognition. I think Gisele is the closest to do so - she certainly makes as much money (if not more) as Cindy or Claudia, but she's not as well known. I agree, times have changed and I think that the world of fashion modelling has become less and less intertwined with mainstream culture. It's a closed circle nowadays. Only people with at least hazy knowledge of the business can name Gisele, Adriana Lima, Doutzen or Anja Rubik. If we want supermodels back, we need them on the TV - in commercial spots, variety shows, interviews etc. They should participate in all major public events, and not only spend their time on the catwalks, doing photoshoots for fashion magazines and so on.
