Fashion Thursdays: Nepo Baby Runways vs. Supermodel Energy — Who Really Owns Fashion?

Host: Diane Gilman

What happened to the swagger, smiles, and spirit of the runway? Diane Gilman dives deep into how today’s “Nepo Baby” models—like Apple Martin, Kai Gerber, Lila Moss, and Sunday Rose Kidman—contrast sharply with the unapologetic glamour and joy of the supermodels who ruled the 80s and 90s. From sulky struts to genuine confidence, Diane gives her unfiltered take on why fashion used to inspire dreams, how iconic names like Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell changed everything, and what’s missing in modern modeling’s mood.

What You’ll Hear:

• The difference between runway energy now and then: Nepo babies vs. bold originals
• Why crowd energy and creativity have shifted away from the catwalk to the audience
• Honest commentary on famous daughters and sons — and why most never smile
• Diane’s memories of superstar models who loved life, laughter, and creative drama
• Industry rumors: quarterly magazines, less demand, and less creativity
• Stories of Italy’s golden era: jeweled jeans, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, and Milan’s untouchable style
• How the 80s and 90s made runway shows a celebration, not just fashion business
• Diane’s current favorites among new faces and why authentic joy is her style essential

✨ Highlights & Takeaways

• Runway nostalgia: from Cindy Crawford’s Pepsi ad to Naomi Campbell’s legendary attitude
• Why smiling matters—and why a glum runway hurts the industry and audiences
• The real cost of “mediocre” fashion seasons and why personal style is now seen mostly off the runway
• How Diane’s own career tracked—and influenced—the evolution of joy, boldness, and expression in fashion
• Why creative risk, wild prints, and genuine personality are the real trends worth reviving
•
