With CGI, Photoshop, animation, etc., why are Supermodels still needed?

When virtually any model that looks perfect can be created from scratch, why would Victoria Secret and others pay millions to models?
I can see hiring some from time-to-time for fashion shows, but a very small fraction of people ever see those. It should be a niche market with low pay.
With the advent of better graphics, I could see fashion models among the industries that become obsolete.

niche market and low pay normally don't go together

I'm not suggesting getting rid of hot chicks. Those will still be around. But they will be poorer.
Why would a for-profit company pay them millions? I am also sure they are very difficult to deal with and cause lots of problems.

CGI cartoons can't walk a runway

Poor choice of words.
Temp gig for hot college chicks and struggling actresses.
We should never know their names.

Did you not read my post?
There will always be a spot for runway models, but they shouldn't be paid millions and be celebrities. Only industry insiders attend actual fashion shows.

you just described like 98% of "models"

I don't know much about the fashion industry, but I do believe they place a lot of importance on the runway shows. So you're going to need some models that can pull off looking like they want them to look live.
As for the non live stuff, I don't think the tech is there yet. It's coming, but one of the biggest complaints about Star Wars Rogue One is the CGI used to create virtual actors instead of recasting roles with new actors that looked similar to their 1977 counterparts.

I am specifically talking about Supermodels that are highly paid.
The low paid models will still be needed for live events.
If you are going to Photoshop the actual person, why pay them millions? You can take a regular woman and photoshop her to look like you want.

well I'm pretty certain the top 1% do a ton of live promotions
people are probably going to expect them to look somewhat close to what they look like in some magazine
removing a mole or adding skin color or slightly more cleavage isn't the same as taking a regular chick and changing her completely

You are right that the SuperModel might die, but it won't be because women start taking fashion advice from a virtual SuperModel or a digitally enhanced normal model, it will be because many consumers have already turned away from the SuperModels and towards the social media models.
My wife loves watching the makeup tutorials on YouTube. She's bought a ton of new product she discovered because of it. These are mostly amateur/homemade productions, and while a few of them might be OT 10s, most of them aren't. They have more in common with Home Shopping hosts than Cindy Crawford. I'm not saying they're ugly, just that their personality, the usefulness of their tips, and the trust they are able to build with an audience is what's important, not how extraordinarily pretty they are.

You let your wife go on the Internet?

5'10'' 80 lb women don't grow on trees. They are paid a lot because they are a rare breed. No amount of photoshop can recreate that.

I believe it's because they are paying a premium for the rare physical attributes needed.
Runway models need to be very tall (although I'm not exactly sure why). A 5'10" woman is in like the 95th percentile in terms of female height. And not only do they need to be in the 95th percentile for height. They also need to be in the 95th percentile for attractiveness.
If some fashion house doesn't pay them a million bucks, another one will.

Have you ever heard of live runway shows?
Posted on 1/3/17 at 12:02 pm to Revelator
No, I haven't. If I had heard of it, I perhaps would have addressed it in the OP.

Take you opening statement and replace Supermodels with Porn Stars. Doesn't sound so appealing now eh?
