Tyra Banks
Tyra Banks became the first Black woman to appear on the covers of both the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and the Victoria's Secret catalog during her modeling career in the 1990s, breaking significant representation barriers within two of the industry's most prominent commercial platforms. Banks's later transition into television, creating and hosting "America's Next Top Model" beginning in 2003, gave her an unusually direct and lasting influence shaping how a generation of aspiring models and the broader public understood the modeling industry's inner workings and standards. Her successful pivot from modeling into television production, hosting, and business ventures demonstrated one of the most extensive career transitions of any former supermodel, building a media and business career that ultimately extended well beyond and outlasted her original modeling fame. Tyra Banks's combination of her barrier-breaking modeling career firsts and her industry-shaping "America's Next Top Model" television franchise has made her one of the most influential supermodels in modern fashion and media history.
VS
Kate Moss
Kate Moss was discovered at age 14 at JFK Airport in 1988 and rose to fame in the early 1990s with a notably different look than the more athletic supermodels who preceded her, helping popularize the more waifish "heroin chic" aesthetic that became controversial and widely discussed within fashion media. Moss's decades-long career, including a high-profile 2005 drug scandal that briefly cost her several major contracts before an unusually swift and complete career recovery, demonstrated a level of career resilience that became its own frequently cited case study in fashion industry commentary. Her extensive collaborations with high-fashion designers and photographers, along with her own successful fashion lines for retailers including Topshop, established her as one of the most consistently working and commercially significant models across more than three decades in the industry. Kate Moss's combination of her influence popularizing a distinctly different 1990s supermodel aesthetic and her remarkably resilient multi-decade career longevity has made her one of the most significant supermodels in fashion history.
