           Ano niyo ba ang pagkakaiba ng “model,” “top model” at “supermodel?”

          Ang model ay isang taong gumaganap bilang isang “human props” para sa art, glamour, fashion, promotion, show, at iba pang katulad na layon sa printed advertising or public performance.

          Ang isang top model ay yaong nakagawa ng pangalan sa isa or dalawang paraan ng pagmomodelo.

          Ang supermodel naman ay isang may kakayahang gumanap sa halos lahat ng paraang ng pagmomodelo at maging tampok at bihasa sa mga ito. Karaniwang nagiging household name ang kanilang pangalan at nakalabas na sila sa dose-dosenang cover pages ng mga magazines at fashion catalogues.
