When a model starts to be known for their name or for a brand that their name represents, that’s when they have moved on to a new level of modeling. Supermodels tend to be more than just pretty faces fronting magazines and dominating the catwalks. They have personalities and presence, and they are respected not just for their talent as models, but also for their ability and success in making it into the exclusive list of the top earners in the industry. The term ‘supermodel’ started to be used more extensively in the 1960’s and 70’s with models like Twiggy, who was one of the first models to be referred to as a supermodel. Soon thereafter, ‘supermodel’ was used to refer to those models who were the most well-known and the most desired in the business.
