“They are completely different than we were,” Seymour, 47,toldVanity Fair. “Supermodels are sort of the thing of the past. They deserve their own title. [Kendall and Gigi] are beautiful girls, and I support all of them, but they need their own title,” she expressed, before adding, “Bitches of the moment! That would be a good title for them.”

And while she dismisses Seymour’s model moniker, Kendall maintains that her industry is more about work ethic than labels.
“If people want to call Gigi and I supermodels now, it doesn’t take anything away from supermodels of the past. Obviously, I have so much respect for those women, but right now, we’re the models of this time. Significant? Maybe. Hardworking? For sure,” she shared.
“That’s the classy way to behave and I fully intend on being a positive influence on anyone younger than me, my entire life,” she concluded.

This isn’t the first time KenGi took a hit over their “supermodel status.” Earlier this year,Rebecca Romijn expressed her opinionthat having a high social following does not “translate into revenue” in the fashion world.
“I know a lot of people — legitimate fashion people — can’t stand it” she said. “Hate it that these, you know, social media stars are now the supermodels in fashion. They are not true supermodels.”
Considering that Kendall and Gigi are walking catwalks all over the world, we’d say they’ve figured out their careers outside of social media.
