Do you recognise any of these names - Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Cambell, Kate Moss 1? In the UK they are household names. Why? Because they are supermodels.


Over the last two decades models have gone from the catwalk to the front pages of glossy 2 magazines. Some of the most well-known models live a jet-set lifestyle – they fly from country to country, from fashion show to photo shoot. And in the process they can earn millions of dollars. Brazilian beauty, Gisele earned $12.5 million dollars in 2001 – a world record!


Fashion designers demand the most beautiful and high-profile models to show off their latest creations. Frequently the‘haute couture' clothes and accessories that the models wear are so outrageous 3 that to wear them in normal life would be inappropriate.


However, newspapers and magazines often devote whole sections of their publications to photographs of fashion shows. This means that the designers, such as Dolce Gabbana and Yves Saint Laurent achieve worldwide publicity 4.


So if you are more than 1.8metres tall, have perfect skin and are devastatingly 5 beautiful, then build up your portfolio 6. Who knows – maybe you could be the next supermodel!
