So asks the "first Asian supermodel" Anna Bayle, displaying a bunch of covers -- from Glamour, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue -- with illustrations instead of real live humans. But she's really wondering why it's now all actresses and celebrities, and no longer models, who grace the covers of the high-end women's glossies. Her theory, in short:

"When one group gets more powerful than the other, then the balance of things change. Every other group will react to this movement and there will be changes. I think, when a model starts earning more than fashion editors … it's a problem. When a model becomes more important and gets more press than the designer showing…it's a problem. So what is the state of fashion shows now? -- Very young girls with developing personalities showing $80,000 garments. 'Walking zombies' is the phrase I always hear. I believe the fashion world is refusing to give that power to the models right now because the models (and their agents) have abused their celebrity."
