If you read any of the fashion or celebrity magazines, you might find an article lamenting the death of the super model these days. Not only is she under attack from celebrities threatening to eclipse her profile, but fitness models are becoming increasingly popular too.

Check out these for/against reasons for why the 'supermodel' might be finished.

Pro Reason 1 -- Celebrities, Not Supermodels

It's not that fashion models are disappearing, but because of their lesser influence, they have to go along with the trends coming out of Milan, Paris, London, and New York. And celebrities don't have to do that, so they are free to get as 'fit' as they want and still appear on the cover of Vogue.

Pro Number 2: Are There Any Super Models Nowadays?

Now that the internet is so wide-spread, it's easy to get a plethora of information on any model. Amateur models coming out of nowhere don't take as long to be discovered anymore, and thus it's harder for the industry to really 'make' a super model like they could in the past. As a result, these new fitness models are really taking off.

Against #1: Lots of Guys Still Don't Like Toned Women.

No matter how many inroads fitness-based women might make on fashion models, the fact is that guys who like the lean muscle tones instead of the smooth lines of beautiful, top models, just isn't that high of a number. Until cultural values change, toned top models will be a minority.

Against #2: Fitness is Still A Niche.

Fashion models and supermodels are established industries. And fitness and diet books and products are also huge, established industries. But "fitness models" coming out of that world in order to take over the other? Or super models suddenly becoming ultra-fit and strong? Nope, not gonna happen.
