You can’t promote yourself....we promote products & how to use them. Makeup, blow dryers, hairbrushes, performance wear, bikinis...even a mattress. BUT...that’s not fashion mags or modeling on the runway. You have it totally backwards IMO..but I know you can’t answer for D217 about what she meant.
Edit: Social media promoters don’t become fashion models on the runway...models may become social media promoters tho.
I forgot, you have a social media channel. My bad. This wasn't directed at you of course, just a statement in general of today's social media platforms. We each have different world views and sometimes with that said, it can be hard to touch base with the other person's point of view. D217 most likely has a way she sees fashion that relates to her views and experiences.

Oh...totally Ok. I was just saying that promoting beauty products or mattresses on our social media isn’t the same as fashion modeling on the runway so your post made no sense. That had nothing to do with my question tho ofc.
edit: thank you for kinda trying tho.

Hi D217! It’s not an argument tho....it was a question about your post. I sincerely wanted to know why 90s fashion mags were like no other era from your POV. You make no sense about an argument...but Ok...you don’t want to answer the question.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think that the best way to explain why the fashion magazines of the nineties (in particular the early to mid-nineties) were like no other is two-fold: unlike a few break out models of the fifties, sixties, and seventies who became household names (Suzy Parker, Brooke Shields, Cheryl Tiegs, etc.), the "Big Five (and later "Big Six" with the addition of Kate Moss), models were truly famous in their own right to people who weren't into fashion or the fashion industry. Put it this way: a person on the street back in the nineties would often know who Cindy Crawford, Stephanie Seymour, or Claudia Schiffer were. Ask a person today who Cara Delevingne or the Hadid sisters are and most would look at you blankly. It's just a different world and far more diffuse when it comes to modeling (and what's considered to be modeling).
The term "supermodel" is casually tossed around today to refer to pretty much any model who's name is known while back in those days, to be considered a supermodel, a model was often simultaneously on the cover of multiple magazines. On talk shows (if they didn't have a show of their own. Loved me some "House of Style!"). On red carpets. A lot of those models were also very relatable to the general public--especially models like Cindy Crawford and later, Tyra Banks.
The other is that by the late nineties and early 2000s, actresses and other celebrities had taken over the covers of the major fashion magazines--a role that was once held nearly exclusively by models.
I agree. There was a whole "gaggle" of supermodels that emerged. (Isn't that when the actual term "supermodel" came about?) I did a search and this was the first link that came up, addressing the topic.
I was a super young girl in the 90s so I wasn’t....it’s an honest question. Can you pls explain what you meant tho? I follow fashion now & I’m interested....I even googled Sheila Tennant.

I see. I really liked the explanation, though. I know it became harder on models when celebrities began "modeling".Other than that I had no clue.
