Sažetak
Last few years fame and celebrity issues have become more visible in social sciences and humanities, creating incredibly stimulating interdisciplinary field. Although it is a relatively new area of academic interest it seems that some important issues still remain invisible. World of fashion, and particularly world of fashion modelling industry, for decades has produced a special kinds of celebrities – fashion models celebrities. Modelling as profession and public supermodel persona are both permeated with ambivalent and contradictory meanings – on the one hand „the beauty myth“ (Wolf 1991) is being differentiated and pluralized, but on the other hand youthful appearance and super-slender body still remain dominant standards in the context of fashion / modeling / media landscape.
