Supermodel

A supermodel is a highly paid fashion model in an elite group with a worldwide reputation. The term was coined in 1979 by Janice Dickinson, and gained currency by analogy with Andy Warhol's "superstars" of the 1960s, and, like "superstardom", it has been conflated to include almost anyone who finds steady access to work, uncommon in the highly volatile fashion industry.
