词汇 | supermodel |
词源 | supermodel; model; superstar. The term supermodel for an internationally famous model wasn’t coined in 1977 to describe Margaux Hemingway, as several sources report. According to word hunter Barry Popik, the word first described Naomi Sims in a 1972 number of Vogue magazine. Model, in its present sense of one who models clothes (not an artist’s model), dates back to at least 1904. Popik has also traced the term superstar to the sports world, not motion pictures, claiming it was first used by hockey commentator Stan Fischler in the mid-1960s. See star. |
