Janice Dickinson recently opened up about her definition of a supermodel.
While appearing on AfterBuzzTV’s “The Tomorrow Show With Keven Undergaro”, the 61-year-old model and photographer, who began her career in the 1970s, gave her take on what qualities a so-called “supermodel” should embody and which models in the industry she considered were worthy of the title.

“It’s that ethereal thing that you can’t put your finger on,” Dickinson said during the interview. Referencing supermodels like Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, and Claudia Schiffer, she said, “Being a photographer, I have photographed all of these women, and you can’t take a bad frame because they are so incredibly photogenic.”
When it came to Kendall Jenner, Dickinson remarked, “I think she’s lovely, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t think she’s a supermodel, I don’t.” Looking at a picture of Jenner she said, “Give me a break. You think that’s supermodel? That is not supermodel. She can’t beat me. She can’t. Apples and oranges.”

Dickinson went on to take aim at Kim Kardashian’s 2014 Vogue cover with Kanye West.
“Kim Kardashian made the cover of Vogue, which made me want to vomit. It was crazy. They’re not models! They’re reality TV stars! You know, modelling is extremely hard work and you have to have perfect proportions. The Kardashians do not have couture proportion.”
