Perhaps the greatest symbol of the end of the supermodel is the Fashion Cafe, the glitzy restaurant chain started to much fanfare in 1995 by celebrity part-owners Schiffer, Macpherson and Campbell--and now teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. Turlington, who later joined the venture, left the cafe last year, and the menu at the Rockefeller Center location can't even spell the name of one of its co-owners correctly, offering "Noami's Fish & Chips...
