Good list but you forgot Mark Vanderloo and Alex Lundqvist. These two along with one other model (I can't remember the name) ruled the runways for many years. Marcus Schenkenberg was considered the first male 'supermodel'. I met Joel West...he was the first to get the million dollar contract for the Calvin Klien campaign. Tyson Beckford was the first black male model to make a name for himself on the runway and followed it up with a million dollar contract with the Ralph Lauren campaign.

Marcus Schenkenberg and Tyson Beckford are the only ones I know by name. And wouldn't that be one of the qualifications of "supermodel," that normal people know who you are (not just people in the fashion industry)?

That's what I was thinking (name recognition).  Near as I can tell, there's no such thing as a male supermodel.  Not in the sense of being a 'genuine celebrity' outside of the niche field of fashion...

Marcus Schenkenberg and Tyson Beckford immediately come to mind.  They were right in the mix with Christy, Naomi and Linda (they just got paid a lot less...lol)

I agree, Tyson Beckford. Just the fact that someone says "Tyson" when talking about male models, I automatically think Tyson Beckford. he makes me swoon.
