...achieved by unsolicited appropriation - Ralph Lauren's ads were full of white preppies, but that didn't stop the hip-hop generation from buying his wares. Lauren's ad agency acknowledged that much by inserting Tyson Beckwith into the preppy mix, launching the career of the first black male supermodel. Hip-hop's power to direct tastes in everything from malt liquor to SUVs is today assiduously courted by the advertising industry...

...girlfriend: I'm sure she's a lovely young woman. But the leggy blonde thing is such a clich? these days. If you're in this for the long haul, you might consider upgrading - either to an actual supermodel (Kate Moss may be available, and now that she's gained a bit of weight, she could probably double as your caddy in a pinch) or to someone with more ethnic cachet, like Jennifer Lopez or Mercedes Ruehl...

Their stormy relationship had run its course. But then fate thrust MARCUS SCHENKENBERG, sculpted male supermodel, into the Hotel de Paris room of Dan Mathews, PETA director.

...certainly the GSD's award ceremony held in her honor did not. Despite the celebrity element, the event proved to be austere and somewhat dull, probably less interesting than the classes normally held in the recently redone but still stark Gund Hall. The casual attendee yearned for a supermodel or two strutting down the aisles catwalk-style in some of Comme des Garon's many flamboyant ensembles to spice up the uneventful award presentation. Those organizing the affair declined to show even modest visual accouterments such as slides, preferring instead to let the exhibit, which the award show inaugurated, speak...
