A Web of Fashion




Tyra Banks is understandably one of the most successful and iconic Supermodels of all time , for a reason.

The immaculate gorgeousness that she is. Those curves. That pretty head. Those eyes. The X-factor . The poise.


Only she could pull off a mask made entirely from simple netting , self-made no less, at the 90th Aniversary Vogue party . ( The party theme was 'Eyes Wide Shut' where all the famous guests came in their interpretation of masks.)

Matching her black bejewelled Roberto Cavali gown; she was a vision.


Indeed, she made headlines all over the world . With so many who diss her saying that what she wore was rubbish and cheap .

Know what? I LOVE IT .

Screw these brand-worshiping , brand-whoring self-proclaimed fashionistas.


This is why , Tyra's a massive Supermodel. She can carry off something so simple to exquisite effect.

Gorgeous and statuesque. Amazing


Q

Fallen Angel?



Heidi Klum.

The supermodel famous for her work with Victoria's Secrets.

Since Tyra and Gisele left the brand to pursue other outlets, Heidi had since became The Angel.

But that, is no more. As of this year, Heidi had announced that she won't be continuing her tenure with the brand.


The contract where thousands of aspiring models wished they were in the running for.

She's having the luxury to give it all up
. After a long 13 years.


Of course there are rife rumours that says she was actually booted out because, frankly, in the last couple of years, she's continuosly been in and out of pregancy and her body was not in good form. It came to a point where she was more a host than a model for the brand and famous for being famous.

Younger and hotter girls were strutting all over her on the runway and out-pouting her despite the priviledge of having more air-time, hype, donning the Fantasy Angel bra more times than any other model and her signature ginormous wings.

Then there are other rumours of her wanting a bigger contract and VS said no; that she's not worth that much now.

Or rumours that simply stated that VS needed a younger model in her shoes. Period.

Heidi defends herself (of course) saying that she just wants to concentrate more on Project Runway and a new reality show about creating the perfect marriage for new couples with her husband, Seal.

Whatever it is , the model famous for being famous, is no more an Angel .


Sad yes.

More sad if this also marks her retirement as a Model. Maybe.

We'll see what model-life is like after VS for Ms Klum.

Q ... Now we only have Adriana Lima , the 4th highest earning model of all time,to shoulder it all, now that all Top 3 earning supermodels have left 'Fashion Heaven'.
