Top 20 Supermodels: Niki Taylor

by Michele Obi on July 22, 2008

Back in 2003, when My Fashion Life was just 4 months old we posted a quote by Director of Click models, Harold Mindel, that went something like this,

“The supermodel is over. It’s celebrities this year, and when fashion returns, it will be back to the models.”

How right was he? Fashion has returned and so has the supermodel. And we intend to celebrate their comeback by featuring our favourite “Top 20 Supermodels” over the coming weeks. First up is Niki Taylor.

Starting out at 14, Niki appeared on the cover of Vogue at 17 and by 21 made the covers of six major magazines all in one month. Like Cindy, she made the mole a must have and had girls all over pencilling moles just above their top lip!

As promised here is the first blast from the past video which features a 17yr old Niki on the House of Style.

Vanity Fair Brings the Supermodel Back for September

by Michele Obi on July 18, 2008

Grunge isn’t the only 90’s trend making a comeback…the “Supers” are too. Fashion Week Daily reports that for their September issue Vanity Fair will be featuring six supermodels in a glossy fold out cover spread. It’s no secret that we’re fans of the supermodel era, and to show our appreciation we’ll be doing some serious digging of blast from the past videos of our top 20 supermodels in their hey day, which we’ll feature daily over the coming weeks. To kick things off here’s a video from MTV documenting the beginning of the end of the supermodel - “Supermodel vs Superwaif”.

Vogue Gets in on the Reality TV Action

by Michele Obi on July 18, 2008

When I was younger, like many girls my age I wanted to be a model. Information on how to actually become one was scarce especially when at the time every supermodel swore blind that they had been scouted. I had to cut out and keep every advice piece I could find in the mags and record any of the one-off documentaries that happened to come on tv. How pissed am I that I’m not a teen now!

Say what you will about Tyra, but one thing can’t be denied, “the girl works hard”. So much so that she’s been nominated America’s hardest working celebrity in an online poll conducted by Parade.com. She beat J. Lo, Diddy and Heidi Klum to nab the top spot. Do we agree?
