There are many in the Indian design fraternity who feel the
days of supermodels are over. As designer Ritu Kumar says, “The whole concept
of a supermodel is archaic and has died out. In fact, when I began my career,
there were just Madhu, Mehr and Nayanika who were modelling and we had to make
do with them. Now we have double the amount of good models and all of them are
different. While some can wear a saree elegantly, others can model a bikini
with ease. And every now and then, you come across a striking face too.”
Former model Manpreet Brar Walia echoes this viewpoint, “The
era of supermodels is over, both in India and the west. There are many
who reach the top and then shift to other careers.”
Others feel that in India , if you want to be known as a
supermodel, you first have to prove yourself on international ramps. As
model-turned-actress Anupama Verma says, “It is important to get the stamp from
abroad before you get the status of a supermodel in India . But who has the patience to
first reach the top here, then start from scratch abroad all over again?”
