Thirdly, one of Potter's best friends is an incredibly smart girl named Hermione--a far better role model than Elle Macpherson for young girls who have previously been reading schlocky teen magazines which encourage rampant self-criticism. Harry is no slouch either--he studies all the time and does well in school, he never uses violence to get back at the bully and is friends with the principal. Finally, even scrawny little Harry is a star at sports. In short, Harry and his friends are every parent's dream kids...

Gilles Bensimon, creative director for Elle and the former husband of Elle Macpherson, says, "Claudia Schiffer is the best example of the rise and fall of a model. For me, we don't need her.

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.
