Stephanie Seymour Calls Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid ‘Bitches of the Moment’

Cindy Crawford has called Gigi Hadida sweet girl” and expressed solidarity with the model against her body shamers, but not all of the O.G. supermodel crew is onboard with the Instagirl movement. In a Vanity Fair party post, Stephanie Seymour told the reporter that Hadid, Kendall Jenner, and their ilk don’t fit the title “supermodels” because “they are completely different than we were.” Other than their propensity for appearing as the love interest and/or foil in important music videos, that is.

And did she have a suggestion for a better term? “Bitches of the moment! That would be a good title for them.” (For what it’s worth, she delivered the comment with a laugh.) The best commentary on the model generation gap still goes to Naomi Campbell, who wished her successors a just-this-side-of-shady “good luck.”
